use

Pictured here are some of the ways the disappearing net can be used to good advantage in the kitchen..

When the meal is ready, all fraces of the preparation stage are whisked out of sight by drawing the folding doors together again. Then the dining table is let down from its place against the wall, as seen in the bottom picture, and the meal is calen in attractive surroundings from which all traces of the work involved.
