HOUSE AND GARDEN 
July,1911 
it is often called — generally located and 
affording direct communication between 
the kitchen and the dining-room—is es¬ 
sentially a serving-room and should con¬ 
tain a sink with draining-boards, cup¬ 
boards and shelves to accommodate the 
fine china, glassware and other requisites 
for the table. With such a plan the door 
between the pantry and kitchen may be 
either sliding or double swinging, but be¬ 
tween the pantry and the dining-room, 
a noiseless double-swinging door. A 
slide, with small shelves or counters on 
either side, between the kitchen and pan¬ 
try, for the passing of food and dishes, 
saves time and steps. It is well to have 
the communication rather indirect through 
the pantry to prevent in a measure the pas¬ 
sage of odors or a direct view of the 
kitchen by those entering the dining-room 
or seated at the table. This can be partly 
accomplished by not having the communi¬ 
cating doors directly opposite each other. 
The outside entrance to the kitchen 
should be so placed as to facilitate the 
delivery of provisions, preferably through 
an entry or an enclosed porch. 
The laundry in many houses is com¬ 
bined with the kitchen or immediately ad¬ 
joining, in which latter case it often serves 
as an entry and a place to store certain 
articles, such as brooms, buckets and pos¬ 
sibly the refrigerator. The very best plan 
is to have the laundry in the basement, 
with separate outside stairs. In such a 
case, a chute for sending soiled linen, etc., 
should run from the kitchen or pantry 
to the laundry. 
The kitchen should above all be well 
ventilated and have plenty of daylight. 
The necessary fumes and heat arising 
from the cooking should be taken care of 
in such a way that none of it is carried 
to the dining-room or to other parts of 
the house. This can partly be accom¬ 
plished by the hood over the range, but 
plenty of fresh air is required. Generally 
in country homes, the living-rooms are 
given the southern exposure, so the 
kitchen usually faces the north. The best 
location is either the northern or eastern 
exposure, as the cooling breezes in the 
summer generally come from that direc¬ 
tion, especially in this part of the country, 
and combined with the morning sun, make 
the kitchen cheerful and cool. If possible 
there should be exposure on at least two 
sides, opposite, affording cross ventilation 
as well as an abundance of light. All win¬ 
dows should be well fitted with screens in 
summer to keep out flies and other insects 
attracted by the odors of cooking. 
I he best artificial lighting is obtained 
by a reflector in the center of the kitchen, 
possibly with side brackets where neces¬ 
sary, as at the sink or at the range. 
In a large house the service portion may 
be situated in a separate wing and if so 
the stairs should be in a small hall, cen¬ 
trally located and near the kitchen, espe¬ 
cially the stairs to the cellar. This hall 
may contain a closet for brooms and a 
lavatory for the use of the servants. It is 
well not to have the stairway ascending
