Now with house furnishing firms offering new and clever ideas, you might consider the kitchen among the first features for improvement. One feature of a modern kitchen l .s to have all the utensils and sup- Dilcs behind doors and out of sight, , but within easy reach. The answer to this is wail cabinets, Another feature is a sink of ample sir/e, with. a ‘arge drain_ 508m 0Y1 both sides if possible. ‘ useful combiiiat-ion wzth the smit is an electric disli-nrasher with a cov. er that between times is used as o, drain-board. ‘ Ranges Much Improved The working centre of the kitch en is the range. of course. Gas, m] and electric ranges Lire so made that the oven can be held at any desired temperature for any length ' of time. Czai ranges have been developed to throw less heat into the room, For a small house you can get a coal range that will also heat the house in Wnter, either by hot air or b3‘ hot water. The arrangement of range, sink ca_.bliiet.s. mechanical refrigerator will depend on the ciésign of the mfm. the positirns of doors and windows. and the relitlcn of the kitchen to the dining room.
