KITCHEN COLOURS

The delightful vogue for colour schemes in tile kitchen which was started some time ago by the housewives of America, has much to recom mend it, since it helps to make domestic labour enjoyable. Pots and pans iu coloured enamelware are now obtainable in mandarin red. soft apple green, delft blue, dove grey [ (with handies and rim iu red), daffodil : yellow, or black lined with grey. These j colours can be matched in boxes j and canisters, aud with painted j kitchen cabinets, distempered walls, and coloured American cloth there are plenty of possible colour schemes from which to choose. Why not. foi example, have shelves covered with j American cloth in apple green as a. background for daffodil yellow j utensils? Vour cabinets could be in i cream, striped yellow and decorated with a miniature flower pattern in i blue and green. The walls could be j iu pale green above a cream wainscot | ing, with doors and window frames in a deeper shade of green aDd ] harmonising green gauze curtains. A little thought given to the general brightening of kitchens would go quite a Tong way toward solving the problem of attracting and keeping the best type of servant.
