A

BACHELOR'S

CUPBOARD

Stocking

the

Cupboard

nicely

fitted

up

for

permanent

occupation,

save

the

things

necessary

for

that

closet

which

he

will

have

for

his

"

kitchenette

and

pantry

"

and

is

going

to

stock

up

on

the

utensils

and

supplies

necessary

for

his

use

in

providing

his

own

breakfast,

and

an

occasional

Sunday

spread

or

little

supper

for

his

friends.

The

stocking

of

the

cupboard

may

be

divided

into

three

classes:

the

service,

the

utensils

for

cooking,

etc.,

and

the

supplies.

In

ordinary

cases

the

following

list

will

be

sufficient.

The

bachelor

should

remember

if

the

first

cost

seems

a

bit

large,

although

it

eats

a

tremendous

hole

in

his

week's

salary,

that

it

is

the

first

cost

that

counts

;

for

the

dishes

w^ill

last,

likewise

the

condiments

"

and

sich,"

most

of

which

will

keep

indefinitely.

taste

in

china;

but

it is

well

to

expend

a

trifle

more

in

getting

something

that

is

artistic,

and

will

always

be

in

good

taste.

Willow

ware

is

always

in

perfect

taste,

and,

being

heavy,

has

the

added

ad-

vantage

of

"

toughness,"

which

is

a

good

point.
