ABSTRACT
A well-arranged, well-lighted and conveniently placed kitchen is such an important factor in the successful administration of the “department of the interior,” that a study of this particular division of the house plan, both in detail and as a whole, is by no means to be neglected by the careful student. The Servants’ room, shown next to the kitchen, is used as a servants’ dining and sitting room, and is always a judicious addition to the general scheme of accommodation where more than two servants are kept. It is intended to be a room which the servants may call their own, and where they may be free from unnecessary intrusion, and the use of which will relieve the kitchen of interference and overcrowding. The motive of the arrangement is the thorough separation of the kitchen and all its operations from the family rooms and thoroughfares, and, though it implies of course increased labor to perform the work.
