MODERN KITCHEN

ATTRACTIVE PLACES

TASKS A PLEASURE

LONDON, May 20. The kitchen in the modern house or flat is becoming one of the most attractive and most tastefully decorated rooms in the home. In the old days the kitchen was the place of drudgery, a room which the housewife was anxious to leave immediately she had finished her work. But to-day a transformation scene has taken place and the pleasant surroundings and laboursaving devices of the kitchen make the housewife’s tasks a pleasure. Cooking stoves, boilers. watersofteners, and other . ugly looking kitchen furniture can now be obtained in pastel shades and nre thus transformed into things -of beauty, Almond green and blue ore the most popular shades, while at the recent British Industries Fair a willow pattern cooking stove sold particularly well, Cromium-plnted taps> plate racks and other fittings give a very smart appearance to the room besides being easy to keep clean. At the approaching Ideal Home Exhibition the latest thing in kitchens will be a “Two-in-One-Room.” This is a kitchen-dining room in which the meals may be cooked, served, eaten and washed up without any unnecessary running about. This kind of room is particularly useful for the young wife who has no maid. Part of the equipment of this novel kitchen Jis a . pewter sink with a shaped I pewter back fitted with handsome j taps that require no disguising and no I cleaning.
