Advice to the Beginning Housekeeper 
I hope you will not make the mistake 
of being too foresighted and provident, 
and thus lose the pleasure of picking up 
pretty dishes and odd utensils at your 
leisure after marriage. Do not buy sil¬ 
verware, as you will very likely receive 
all you need for wedding presents. So 
much depends upon whether you live in 
tow’n or in the country. 
Why buy a dinner set now? Six break¬ 
fast and six tea plates, soup plates (in 
which you can serve vegetables on the 
table, also), sauce dishes and bread-and- 
butter plates (in both of which you can 
put individual desserts), with the cups 
and saucers which you may have had 
given you. will serve a bride nicely. My 
love of china made me buy these few 
sets from various patterns which were 
too lovely to live without. 
My husband and I loved to eat out of 
doors, and our guests found far more 
pleasure in our picnic meals than in the 
conventional table. One October day a 
hunch of Yale boys stopped for lunch. 
While I boiled a half bushel of corn on 
the cob, they made their dishes out of 
Autumn leaves, toothpicks and paper 
napkins, and decorated their table with 
purple and white grapes. I remember I 
brought out the waterpail to hold the 
cobs. They set it 20 ft. away and 
amused themselves by trying to throw 
cobs into it! 
As to cooking utensils, I would be gov¬ 
erned, for the present, by what you both 
like to eat. As my husband was -fond of 
waffles, we had waffle irons to insure 
good breakfasts. An excellent steel knife 
to cut the bacon is as good as new after 
15 years’ use. We were used to making 
our own ice cream, so of course bought a 
freezer. My, hasn’t it been used! An 
oven thermometer, so desirable for the 
oil stove, and a deep-fat thermometer 
have been real economies. Inexpensive 
but delicious cookery can be evolved from 
the deep-fat kettle. Croquettes (from 
left-overs), fritters, especially banana, 
fried potatoes, both white and sweet, 
“toads,” crullers and timbales have 
pleased the palate of many a guest; for 
we are far from the vegetable and meat 
market. Everyone has a percolator. I 
have read that coffee cannot be made cor¬ 
rectly without one. If -you are to live 
in the. country. I hope you will can veg¬ 
etables as well as fruit. I do much or 
mv processing in common galvanized 
pails, as with the children to care for, 1 
can do only a few jars at a time. 
We invested in articles ot very good 
quality, and most of them, even the floor 
brushes and mops, are still in very good 
condition. Buying for one s home is one 
of the greatest pleasures connected with 
it But it is well to remember that fash¬ 
ions change mercilessly and leave even 
the heaviest damask hopelessly out ot 
style. MRS. m. R. 
If M B-. page 185, had said where she 
was going to live it would have been 
easier to make suggestions, but I wdl 
imagine her moving in a larin home. 
First a good range, choose a large one, 
with a good-sized reservoir, plain as pos¬ 
sible • if she could afford it, the best enam¬ 
eled stove would undoubtedly prove neat¬ 
est and easiest to care for. Luv tea- 
bet tie, skillets, saucepans, etc. to ht tne 
range. Ask for an extra skeleton ring; 
this is something they will be surprised 
to furnish, but it. helps many times. 
Personally I do not care for aluminum 
utensils, as thev tarnish so easily and re¬ 
quire considerable skill or show neglect. 
1 prefer white enamel. To start with get 
half a dozen each of dishes, which can 
easily be added to. Have a dozen each of 
towels for hands and dishes, a dozen hold¬ 
ers, guest towels, one best tablecloth, two 
for every day. Two sets sheets for each 
hod nnd pxtrn for guests: some with pil¬ 
low slips. , 
Choose a substantial dining table, one 
that will accommodate the biggest number 
she ever expects to feed at once, and 
enough chairs to seat same, also a couple 
of rockers. 
Choose a good iron bed with good 
springs and a good mattress, and if nec¬ 
essary to save on other beds, buy two 
spring cots. They are suitable, made up 
appropriately, for any room in the house. 
Old-fashioned bureaus are a desirable 
necessity, and if they cannot be pur¬ 
chased new, try the second-hand stores, 
and refinish them. For thosfe bureau 
drawers, use various sized boxes to put 
the small things in. Several fit in one 
end of a drawer and save clutter. 
Extra stands, chairs, pictures, mir¬ 
rors, and so on, can be added later. 
For wash day she will need two tubs 
and a bench; the best copper boiler she 
can buy will be cheapest in the end, also 
a good wringer. These will make wash 
day easy until she gets a washing ma¬ 
chine. 
Let us hope she will make bread most 
of the time at least. She can decide 
between a good retinned bread raiser or 
mixer. For the little utensils look over 
the index to any large mail-order cata¬ 
log and made list from these. 
I am much in favor of kitchen cabi¬ 
nets, but unless one buys the best makes 
they are no great convenience for the 
cheaper ones do not accommodate near 
all of the tools and ingredients. 
The floors will cost enough no matter 
how they are finished. For a permanent 
home, nothing can be better than inlaid 
linoleum. patsy’s wife.
