ventured into the sooty stovepipe where 
little kittens never should go, every smirch 
shows. But enough of whiteness. My 
kitchen is grey — a lovely soft, French 
grey enamel that never looks drab to me, 
but with pale lettuce-green Japanese crepe 
curtains at the windows and a touch of 
the same green in the glass of the swing¬ 
ing door that leads into the dining-room, 
and in the washable paint of the plastered 
ceiling, looks delightfully cool and re¬ 
freshing. 
It faces the north with as pretty a view 
from the windows over the sink as there 
is to be had in the whole house. A breeze 
comes via a screen porch on the west. 
The floor is of cement left the natural 
color, which adds to the general coolness, 
although over in the side wall is a furnace 
register so that the room may be warmed 
in the winter. The floor is practically in¬ 
destructible and can be washed with the 
strongest cleansing solutions. It is laid 
with a slight fall, so that the water drains 
out of a trap in the floor, inconspicuously 
placed under the sink. Under the sink is 
also a faucet with a coil of hose to be used 
in washing off. There are rubber mats 
upon the floor to protect the feet from the 
cold, hard cement, and these are subjected 
to the same cleansing baths as the floor. 
Cupboards abound — a large one for 
pots and kettles; one for dry groceries; 
another for spices and seldom-used sta¬ 
ples. The swinging door so swings that 
it never exhibits to guests in living-room 
or dining-room a littered drain-board, and 
yet it swings directly by it so that the 
dishes may be taken from table to sink 
by the shortest possible route. On the 
hinged side are ten feet of cupboards and 
drawers. 
The dish cupboard is a part of the din¬ 
ing-room buffet and opens into both 
kitchen and dining-room. The silver 
drawer pushes into both rooms. In the 
coolest and darkest inside corner of the 
kitchen is a large cold-air closet for fruit 
and vegetables. It is worked in over the 
basement stairway and gets cold air from 
there while obviating the necessity _ of 
climbing up and down stairs for supplies. 
None of the cupboards go to the ceiling, 
so that there are no shelves so high and 
inconvenient that they are seldom cleaned. 
No such excuse is afforded. Withal there 
are enough cupboards for everything, so 
that when this kitchen is in order there is 
nothing in evidence but the tea-kettle on 
the gas range and the friction lighter. 
The tea-kettle, by the way, is like all the 
other utensils possible in that material, of 
aluminum, which is easy to keep in order 
and light to handle and quick to heat. 
The “piece de resistance’’ of the kitchen 
is the sink, or, in this case, sinks, for they 
are twins, each fourteen by eighteen 
inches. They are of cobaltum — a soft 
grey color that accords with the kitchen 
and doesn’t show the stain of water like 
porcelain, and yet has equally as smooth 
a surface and is easier to keep appearing
