HOUSE AND GARDEN

pieces which do not pass through collect 
at the lower end, where they are taken out 
periodically and reburnt. If one's range 
is not near enough to the chimney the 
ashes may be taken out of the range in 
the usual manner and poured down a 
trap door in the right location. If the 
chimney is not found suitable, this sifting 
may also be done by using a galvanized 
iron chute instead of the chimney, in which 
case the ash may empty directly into one 
barrel, the coal into another; sifted and 
ready to be removed, without having been 
touched, or any dust had a chance to 
escape. 
Among other labor-saving devices about 
the kitchens that have proved their worth 
are the plate warmer in the china closet. 
This may be either a small radiator which 
will also heat the closet or an electric or 
gas appliance. The radiator connected to 
the house heating plant is the simplest and 
least expensive, but only serviceable while 
the heat is on. 
The china closet may also contain a 
safe, but if this is large we must remem¬ 
ber its weight and provide for it. 
There are innumerable contrivances and 
arrangements that may be inculcated into 
the plans for their betterment, but one of 
the very surest ways of getting the most 
satisfactory result is a very lavish expen¬ 
diture — of time. Go to your architect in 
season, so that you will have plenty of 
time to mull over all the arrangements 
and rearrangements and re-rearrange¬ 
ments, so that you may feel sure that the 
final layout is the very best possible one, 
all things considered, and so rest content 
and immune from what we are told is the 
saddest of all words. 
Inside the House 
(Continued from page 43 ) 
pies only a small amount of floor space, 
while in the average bathroom the wall 
space that it takes would most likely be 
turned over to one large window. 
For the Butler’s Pantry 
A MONG the noticeable features of a 
recently completed house at Garden 
City, Long Island, is a rather new and de¬ 
cidedly practical form of the radiator that 
is furnished with a compartment for keep¬ 
ing dishes warm. Radiators of this descrip¬ 
tion were originally designed for use in 
the dining-room, and in each was a com¬ 
partment with one or two shelves and a 
door, constructed so that plates and even 
dishes of food could be kept hot indef¬ 
initely. 
The newer scheme, as shown in the il¬ 
lustration, is the placing of the compart¬ 
ment radiator in the butler’s pantry in¬ 
stead of the dining-room. The radiator 
is directly in front of the window, in what 
is generally conceded to be the best posi¬ 
tion for heating a room to good advantage,
