BLUE BEST KITCHEN HUE

Artistic Effects In the Culinary Department Are by No Means to Be Dlspised. It may sound foolish to talk of a “color scheme” for the kitchen, but If pots and pans and utensils of all kinds match and the walls are in the same shade with linoleum of the same 'on the floor/ you will be astonished to find how clean and dainty it all looks and how much easier it Is to concort dainties for the home menu -in the pleasant room. Blue is always a good color for the kitchen especially, as It is easy to secure the blue enameled cooking utensils, which are not only easy to keep clean, but eliminate to a great extent all likelihood of burning. Blue and white china or the Quaint solid brown and white ware are pretty in a blue And white kitchen, while blue and white dish towels may be bought just as easily as red and white ones and will look far daintier is the kitchen. Usefulness, however, must come before an artistic effect and care must be exercised in the selection of the pots and pans. If you have a small family don’t buy big stewpans and enormous skillets. If you have a big family get big utensils "and don’t buy a lot of modern inventions that you never use, and which clutter up drawers and closets unnecessarily. Have hooks screwed into the wall near the table and the range to hang spoons, pans and covers on, that they may be within reach and save many steps. . ; '
