A
BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
The
Impecunious
Bachelor
had
3x6
at
$1.50
each,
and
look
as
well
as
many
a
ten-
dollar
rug.
Then,
when
he
sees
a
special
bargain
in
good
Persian,
Turkish
or
Afghanistan
rug,
he
may
buy
whatever
strikes
his
fancy;
excellent
books
on
rugs
with
beautiful
illustrations
are
available
at
the
Public
Libraries,
and
a
few
evenings'
study
on
the
sub-
ject
will
give
a
man
an
insight
into
rug
buying
that
will
stand
him
in
good
stead,
provided
he
is
not
al-
ready
a
connoisseur.
The
furniture
already
mentioned
will
cost
about
$104.00.
Then
there
will
be
the
additional
expense
of
couch
and
table
covers,
curtains
and
sash
curtains,
linen,
and
pillows
or
cushions.
For
this
room
the
bachelor
will
need
six
sheets
and
six
pillow
slips,
half
a
dozen
bath
towels,
a
dozen
and
a
half of
hand
towels,
a
couple
of
scarves
for
the
chiffonier,
a
dozen
glass
towels
and
three
or
four
dus-
ters.
These
will
cost
as
follow:
—
sheets,
$3.00;
pillow
slips,
$1.50.
Three
slips
may
be
sufficient.
Bath
towels,
$1.50
to
$3.00,
according
to
quality;
hand
towels,
$4.50;
dusters,
which

cheesecloth,
25c.;
and

$1.50
to
$2.00.
He
will
also
need
a
pair
of
blankets
at
from
$3.00
to
$5.00
and
possibly
a puff
or
comforter,
which
will
be
$3.00
for
cotton
and
$10.00
for
down.
This
linen
he
will
include
in
his
laundry,
and
