THE LATEST OHAFING DISH
Many Amateur Cooks Have Returned to
the Good Old Styles.


Many Amateur Cooks Have Returned to
the Good Old Styles.
Mad as we all are on the subject of
novelty, and eagerly as the new is sure to be
sought, it by no means follows that the
latest is the best. Now and again we re-
turn to the old. Once in awhile we dis
that our mothers and grandmothers were
not entirely devoid of comfort and COM
mon sense.
The latest chatting dish is one more proof
of this. The asbestos lamp, which was so
eagerly hailed, is no more the prime favor
lite. The old-time wick has been revived,
and in modern form is the best medium
for the necessary heat which has ever been
devised In itself it in no way differs from
that which is familiar to us all, but some
genius has hit upon the happy notion of
making it movable, Just as is that of an
ordinary oil lamp. The result is delight
to the amateur COOKS heart, for she can
regulate the heat to a nicely, and is no
longer compelled to choose between no
flame and too much flame.
Modern convenienceS are delightful
things. no doubt, but the asbestos that was
hera1ded as labor-saving has had its day.
If chafing dish or kettle is to be bought
for Christmas, by all means let it be one
with controllable wick. Some of the
newer asbestos lamps are indeed so ar
ranged that either part or the whole sur
face can be lighted at will, but nothing is
SO satisfactory as the little crank which
regulates the heat to nicely.
Late suppers and luncheons cooked upon
the table are growing in favor, and cooking
has come to be looked on as high art, so
that this question of the best equipment is
vital one. Not even Delmonico's chef
could serve tempting. dish without cor
rect paraphernalia.-St. Lonis Republic.

penniless in a Western city. Death and
fate had conspir ed to rob her, she thought;
but she was daughter of patriots who had

her. Beginning in very small way, she
established and carried on a business en-
terprise which gave support to hundreds
of other women, and gave to the manager
very comfortable income. As time went

SPOOL FURNITURE.

Interest in spool work has by no means
subsidized, and many useful and decorative
articles are made either wholly or in part
of spools of various sizes. Patience and
deft fingers are required to successfully
manipulate the wire which supports the
spools, for it must be bent and curved to
give exactly the proper shape. The spools
must, of course, receive two or three coats
of enamel or gliding before they are pre-
sentable, says the Delineator.
