CARD EVENING

FOR CATHOLIC CHURCH A record number of card enthusiasts attended a very enjoyable evening- held in the Gas Company’s social room, Great South Road, Otahuhu, on Mon- c day evening. The function was organised by Mrs. * W. McAnulty, and the proceeds are to * be.devoted to the funds of the jumble f stall in the forthcoming bazaar. Both 500 and euchre tournaments c were held, and after a series of very J interesting and keenly contested games the winners were announced as fol- i low:—Women’s section, 500 tourna- ? ment, Mrs. Doherty 1, Mrs. Payne 2, 1 Mrs. McLarnon; men’s section, Mr. t West 1, Mr. H. Whyte 2, Mr. J. Fearn- 1 ley 3. A Women’s section, euchre tournament, Mrs. Ellison 1, Mrs. Hooton 2, Miss Eccles 3; men’s section, Mr. Nealis 1, Mr. N. Doherty 2, Mr. J. Haslip 3. KITCHENETTES The kitchenette of to-day resembles , a large cupboard rather than a small ] kitchen, and its furnishing should be < very carefully undertaken. Usually there is not enough room to allow of the maid or the mistress sitting to their job, so that there is no need to consider the purchase of chairs. At most, only a stool could stand in front of the kitchen cabinet, which itself i must be the small-size model. i With floor space so restricted it is ! necessary to make the greatest pos- : sible use of the wall area. Racks are 1 sold now, not only for the draining of crockery into the sink, but also lor the accommodation of the rest of the dinner and tea services, the saucepan lids, the spice jars, and the various impedimenta which ordinarily find a place on the dressers of larger domains. An iron pedestal will take both the saucepans and the casseroles, and sets of wall bookshelves will be found useful for a Variety of articles, such as cleaning and polishing materials, unsuitable for the kitchen cabinet. A kitchenette is a workshop pure and simple, and should be both furnished and decorated accordingly. Curtains are not necessary. If the gas-cooker, however, be given a coat of aluminium paint twice a year it will look ail the more attractive for it, and the same paint might well be used for the woodwork of the little recess. With cream or grey walls, this silvery treatment will look highly effective. Cooking vessels of burnished aluminium will thus find an appropriate setting. M. H.
