If\npossible, obtain one with a good hall, the principal rooms opening from it: rooms\ninterfering with others are a great annoyance to housekeepers, as it is\nimpossible to keep a room tidy when used as a thoroughfare by members of the\nfamily without frequent use of broom and duster, which is a constant wear on\ncarpet and patience. The dining-room ought either to open out of the kitchen,\nor be separated by a hall; each should have a closet opening from them; and the\nkitchen have a passage to the cellar, and an outside door. The parlor is the\nmost pleasant facing north, and should be independent of the other part of the\nhouse. The nursery is most convenient on the principal floor. Small bedrooms\nare preferable with closets to large ones without. Spring and rain water should\nbe near the kitchen. Furniture appears well in small, that would hardly be\ncalled respectable in large, rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furnish your house with uniformity; nothing\nlooks more vulgar than a splendidly furnished parlor, while the remainder of\nthe house is hardly decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide how much you can\nafford to spend on furniture ; commence in the kitchen, and go through the\nhouse, making a list of all necessary articles, with their prices. If, after\nthis is done, you find the sum appropriated not expended, select the\nsuperfluities, being careful not to crowd the parlors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NECESSARY KITCHEN FURNITURE.- Range, or stove,\nfor cooking; pot and kettle with covers; two small kettles with oval bottoms;\ntin boiler with steamer; tea kettle and steeper; coffee pot and mill; dripping\npan and spider ; gridiron and meat fork; preserving kettle and saucepan ;\ngriddle and pancake turner; iron ladle and spoons; knives, with forks strong\nand large ; butcher and bread knife; dippers, quart and pint, colander and\nlarge skimmer; waffle irons with rings; butter ladle and potato pounder; bread\nboard and rolling pins; sieve, cake pans, and grater; mixing and baking pans,\nfor bread; milk pans and strainer; milk pail and small skimmer; pie plates and\npudding bakers; pepper shaker and wooden salt dish; flour dredge and cooky or\nbiscuit cutter; bowls of common ware and dishes; jars for soda, cream of\ntartar, and spices; canisters, or bottles, for tea and coffee; tin box for\nbread, and one for cake; jugs for molasses and vinegar; spring and rain water,\ncleaning, and swill pail; iron ash pail and firebox ; shovel, tongs, and match\nsafe ; kitchen table and chairs; candlesticks and snuffers; broom, dust pan,\nand scrubbing brush ; bottle cleaner and stove brush ; boxes with handles for\nsugar, etc. ; wash-boiler, and wash-tubs; clothes line, washboard, and clothes\npins ; flat irons, ironing blanket and sheet; skirt and bosom board; clothes\nbasket; knife and spoon basket; market and chip basket; dish pans and towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these necessary\narticles, the writer closes the list, although there are many conveniences not\nenumerated, which are pleasant to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dining-Room.\u2014Table and chairs\naccording to family ; tea and dining set, full or not, as desired; knives and\nforks for dinner and tea; tea and table spoons; mats and waiter; carpet or\noil-cloth on the floor; two high lamps, or candlesticks; small side table;\ntablecloths and napkins; tea and coffee pot with stands; covers for meats, of\nwire; castor, butter knife, and carver; fly broom, pitchers, and goblets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hall.\u2014Oil-cloth, lamp, and\nhat-stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost all prices being fixed\nto these articles according to their beauty and value, the purchasers must be\ngoverned by their means and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family Bed-Room.\u2014Bedstead,\nwith furniture and crockery; bureau, washstand, washbowl, and pitcher; slop\njar, soap dish, foot bath, and two pint mugs; rocker, and other chairs;\nfootstool, stove, and window shades; looking-glass, and small table; carpet,\nbroom, and dust brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parlor.\u2014Carpet, table, chairs, sofa, lamp,\nfootstools, shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Library.\u2014Book-case, with all conveniences for\nwriting ; table, chairs, and oil-cloth or carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spare Chamber.\u2014Bedstead and furniture; washstand\nand furniture; Foot bath, slop jar, teeth mugs, and towel rack; dressing\nbureau, or table with glass;

take one yard and a quarter of dark drilling, fold it so as to make a bag a half-yard deep, with the quarter projecting beyond, bind it all around with strong colored tape, make loops in the corners to hang up by, and put them on the door with carpet tacks.   <em>A&nbsp;<\/em>good method is to have a bag for each variety of patch, cotton, woollen, silk, etc., and sew a square patch on each bag, to show what they contain ; for instance, on the calico patch bag sew a square of print, on the silk, a silk patch, etc.; we find this the most convenient method of designating them, as we often have help who cannot read sufficient English to bring a bag with the contents written or printed on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bag made in the form of the old-fashioned needle-books, with pockets just deep enough to hold shoes, and one in the same form for combs and brushes, will be found convenient. A paper bag should hang in the kitchen, containing refuse paper for covering cake, etc., when baking. One with bits of woollen and cotton for holders and iron wipers; and one to contain the bits of twine which come around bundles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ourselves would not know how to keep house without these bags. Every spring they are assorted, and all superfluous patches put with carpet or paper rags, which keeps them in good order the year round, and saves much needless trouble in hunting patches, buttons, etc., from among quantities of rubbish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"462\" height=\"599\" data-attachment-id=\"6773\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/2020\/03\/victorian-home-necessities\/millais_peace_concluded\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Millais_Peace_Concluded.jpg?fit=462%2C599&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"462,599\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Millais_Peace_Concluded\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Millais_Peace_Concluded.jpg?fit=462%2C599&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Millais_Peace_Concluded.jpg?fit=462%2C599&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Millais_Peace_Concluded.jpg?resize=462%2C599\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6773\"\/><figcaption>John Everett Millais&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211; &nbsp;Peace Concluded <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been organizing, provisioning, cooking, and trying to stay positive. &nbsp;I need a break!
