Home Making

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. If one wishes artistic accessories in the apartment, or can pay $50 or $60 a month for a small apartment, the liberty of choice is, of course, wider, and, generally speaking, an apartment that is just large enough for the family, and no larger, is more satisfactory than one in which extra room is secured at the expense of artistic plan ning and other luxurious details. It is better to have three rooms that are just what you want than six rooms that are not quite suitable. In considering the question of home versus hotel life the mar keting has to be looked into carefully. It varies with the individual taste of the family. If one knows where the various foreign colonies are in New York one can take advantage of the bargains peculiar to each. Third Avenue and Second Avenue, between Fourteenth and Thirtieth Streets, are largely German, and in these blocks German delicatessen shops abound, where German sausage, sauerkraut, beer, cheese, bread, and salad may be bought for astonishingly low prices, for the German Hausfrau is a thrifty soul, and competition for her trade is keen enough to keep prices down. There is no neighbor hood where marketing is easier and cheaper for a small family than here. Below Fourteenth Street on these avenues the Hungarian shops begin.
