BY WILLIAM HARMON BEERS. | Butler's pantries can be of all shapes and sizes, depending on their location. | "'In general they serve different pur- | poses. The first purpose is that of washing and storing china and glass- | ware. The second purpose, a place where food can be placed temporarily as it arrives from the kitchen. The third purpose, that of a passage be- tween the kitchen and the dining room, separating these two units and Lsolnt-, ing the kitchen. | Let us take up these several uses and | analyze them, thereby perhaps getting | some idea as to how the pantry should be planned and arranged. First, as a room for washing andi storing china and glass. The sink| should be placed near a window, pret-l | erably under it, so that no shadows | are cast, and this sink should not be | too low so that the housewife or maid | tires _her back when leaning over it. There should be two drain boards with | sufficient slope to allow the water to | run back into the sink when dripping from undried plates. These drain boards are better made of wood or German silver rather than porcelain or vitrified china. They are not as hard | and do not crack the china so easily. | Second, the dressers or cupboards where the dishes are placed should not | | be too high and should have glass doors. | | A counter shelf should run underneath | them, and they should be supported in such a way that the supports do not | reach the counter shelf. This is to keep the shelf clean and permit the sliding | of dishes from one end to the other. | Make the dressers deep and put under- | neath the counter shelf cupboards with | solid wood doors. Allow & convenient | place for an ice box or refrigerator. | This is often worked in with the | dressers. | _,Third, in arranging the doors, if pos- sible, place the kitchen door and the | dining room door opposite each other | and at one end of the pantry. In this | | way passage may be had from the din- | | ing room to the kitchen without inter- fering with any one working in the pan- try. A good plan is to have peep holes in each of these doors about on a level with the eye. This prevents two per- sons atteempting to pass through the | gl;o:rs in opposite directions at the same e, ® 220 17th P1. N.E.

The survey shows that 102 of the| companies are willing to loan on family | homes.

Next to the family home in popularity | with the life insurance companies for loans is the commercial building; 83 companies loan on commercial build- ings.

Next in | favor came the two-apartment bulld-‘ (ing, on which 72 companies loan. Com- are taken as loan securities by 59 com- panies. Large apartment buildings are | loaned on by 52 companies.
