Kitchen Furnishings

KITCHEN FURNISHING.
To a woman who is interested in cooking and in her kitchen there are few places so tempting as a kitchenfurnishing store. There are so many articles that are of no great value in the kitchen that one must exercise great care in selecting what is best adapted to her wants. Closets crowded with all sorts of utensils are not a help to order, neatness, and expedition in cooking; but it is essential to the highest perfection in cooking that there shall be enough of the right kind of utensils.
