Dishes for the table also are sometimes stored away as though you werg i through with ‘them for a week, when they must be taken out in a few ‘hours" again. ' One help is to have theé cupboard handy to the table or at least betwen the place where the dishes are washed and the table is set so steps ‘can be’ saved. Cooking utensils can be placed on shelves built ever the sink or near _ the stove close at hand, ; If you prefer to have them covered ‘a “ roller-can be put on them with an oilcloth curtain which can be rolled up on’ the shade roller out'of the way or drawn - down’ when sweeping- to keep out dust.
