THE STOREROOM.

This department is of the utmost convenience to the housekeeper as it assists greatly her efforts to be economical and orderly. In a large establishment it is imperative, and even in small houses, unless, at least, one large cupboard is devoted to stores; otherwise they are obliged to be kept in various places, often most unsuitable, about the house. The room should be conveniently near the kitchen quarters and must be perfectly dry, cool and well-ventilated. " Have a place for everything and keep everything in its place," so that anything can be found even in the dark ; let every bottle and canister be clearly labelled. It is wisest to have a regular time for ordering fresh supplies either monthly or quarterly, or even weekly. It is a sign of bad management if petty orders of sugar, coffee, etc., have to be sent for during the week. Again, some stores are cheaper if bought in larger quantities, then time and money are saved.
