ELECTRIC KITCHENS
SEaE1A1 SSTS1sNSSSNzN COCOON

A new wrinkle has been introduced
in the apartment houses erected for
wealthy tenants in large cities, and
it appeals to the modern house
wife more strongly than pianos.
buffets, telephones and the kindred
conveniences which shrewd landlords
employ to lure the rent-payer. 1t is
nothing less than an electric Kitchen
with a complete paraphernalia for the
cooking of everything from a break
fast of coffee and rolls to dinner of
twelve courses.
Such kitchen would attract the
eye of even the most conservative of
old-fashioned housekeepers, as the
first thing that strikes one is it's clean
illness. What is more, electric cook
ing is less dangerous than coal or gas
There is no chance for the cook to
pour pint or two of kerosene on the
hot Goals to hasten their action and
perhaps, hasten her own demise, and

warmer-called a breakfast cooker. A
kettle of water can be boiled and
chops grilled simultaneously, and
very quickly.
The electric broiIer is an exception
ally clever affair, for the reason that
the food is not brought into contact
with any smoke or gases, nor marked
by hot bars. This is a nickel-plated
affair. By placing sheet Of thin iron
over the broiler it can be used for
warming plates, or for boiling pur-
poses.
The stewpan is a separate utensil,
mounted on three legs and made of
copper. The frying pan is also sep
arate, with it's own attachment for
connecting with the electric current.
The fish kettle is an imposing affair
of planished tin, and there is steam
cooker, which is considered to be a
luxury by the average housewife.
The electric contrivances in this

among the velvet cushions, smiling as
her eyes fingered on the sky, the trees,
the stream.
'You look very happy, Leone" said
Lord Chandos.
Il am very happy" she replied: 81
wrote to my uncle yesterday, Lance
[ should like to send him box filled
with everything he likes best"
you shall, if it pleases you, my dar-
ling" he answered.
She leaned over the side of the boat
watching the water, drawing her hand
through the clear stream.
Happy Sc repeated, rather to her
self than to him; II can safely say this,
that I have had so much happiness
since I have been here that if I were
wretched all my life afterward should
still have had far more happiness than
falls to the lot of many people,
She remembered those words in after
years; and she owned to herself that
they had been most perfectly true.
The few months passed at River
View had been most perfectly happy
no SHADE of care had come over her,
no doubt, no fear-nothing that chilled
the warmth Of her love, nothing that
marred it's perfect trust. In some
lives there comes a pause of silent,
intense bliss before the storm, even as
the wind rests before the hurricane.
''You make me very proud, Leone, .
said Lord Chandos, when you tell me
OF your happiness. I can only say
may it be like the light of heaven
eternal"

as with gas, there is no danger of an
explosion.
In the matter of expense, the few
landlords who have introduced electric
kitchens in their houses lose nothing.
They employ the same apparatus used
for the electric lighting, and as apart
ment house owners of this kind invari-
ably supply the fuel used for cooking,
they find that electricity is cheaper
than coal In the first place, a coal
fire is kept burning all day, whereas
the electricity is only used during the
time that the actual cooking is being
done. Then IS per cent. of the heat
from coal goes up the chimney, but in
using electricity the heat is generated
inside the apparatus, and none of it
can escape except by radiation, which
is very slight.
The great consideration is, however,
that there is no smell or dirt about
the electric kitchen. There is no fire
to rake out or build up, no cinders, no
smoke, and no flame to be seen at all.
The heat is obtained by merely turn
ing on switch, and it is not necessary
to heat up the oven for an hour, as the
necessary temperature is obtained in a
few minutes. What is more, several
famous chefs have declared that the
quality and flavor of food is better
preserved by electric cooking than by
the ordinary methods. The tempera-
ture is even and can easily be regu-
lated to suit the special requirements
of different dishes.
The principal feature of the outfit of
the electric kitchen is the oven, which
looks like a miniature ice chest. 1t is
made of iron, with brass trimmings.
and is enameled inside. 1t roasts and
bakes in perfect manner, and can be
heated up to 500 degrees if necessary.
1t is fitted with a number of switches,
and one or all of these can be turned
on, according to the amount of heat
desired. When the heat required is
attained all but one of the switches
can be turned off, and the cooking
will go on with the stored-up heat.
Then there is a smaller affair-a
combination small over grill and plate

But as he read it his face changed;
the smile and the triumph died from
it. He said no word to Leone, but
tore the letter into shreds. She looked
on with a wistful face.
cit is from your mother, Lancer" she
asked.
He took her in Gnis arms and kissed
her.
My darling, 90 not trouble about
them; you are all the world to me.
They will not forgive me; but it does
not matter. I am proud Of what [
have done l am quite independent.
I shall take a pretty little villa at
Richmond, and we shall live there I'M
til they come to their senses"
That will be giving up all .4Ae
world for me-" she sai0.
1.-The world will be well lost, Leone.
We will go tomorrow and find a pretty
little house where we shall be quite
happy. Remember one thing always
that my mother will love you when
she sees you"
''Then let her see me now, Lance,
at Once," She cried, eagerly, If you
think so. Why wait? 1 should be
more happy than any one else in the
world if you would do that"
cit is too soon yet" he replied; "all
will be right in time"
She wished thai he had offered to
read her his mothers Letter; but she
did not H. to ask what the contents
were.
Lord CEandos dare not tell her, be-
sides which he laughed in scorn at the
luea. They might threaten as they
would; but he felt certain there was
no power on earth which could set
aside his marriage; therefore he
should not trouble himself about it..
He would go to Richmond and look
out for a house LHere.

apartment are not confined to the
kitchen. A highly FURNISHED copper
kettle goes with the drawing room for
the use of my lady for making after
noon tea, and is easily connected with
the electric current. This does away
with the horrible odOr of the spirit
lamp.
The dining room is not electrically
neglected, either. There is a stand for
the coffee urn, where it can be con-
nected with the current, and with this
contrivance there is no danger of the
coffee becoming cold, no matter how
long one fingers at the breakfast table.
In the principal bedroom, which is
supposed to be occupied by the mis-
tress of the establishment, there is
little contrivance which appeals at
once to the feminine understanding.
1t is cylinder-shaped affair, with a
handle, and is dedicated to the curling
iron. With the electric current turned
on, half dozen irons can be heated
in a couple of seconds.
Masculinity is not ignored either.
In the second-best bedroom there is a
shaving pot with an electric attach
ment. By keeping the current turned
on the water is maintained at an even
heat, thus minimizing the bother of the
task.
The housewife may wonder about
the ironing, and in this regard electric
ity has won the biggest kind of vic
tory, for the electric iron never be-
comes cold. It is similar to it's broth
ers, except that it is fitted with a
small attachment in which the wire is
inserted. Then when the current is
turned on the iron is ready for a full
days work. The heat can be regu-
lated to make it very hot, or moder-
ately hot, and it never becomes soiled
by contact with the top of a hot stove.
Bothersome insects never invade the
electric kitchen, and it has been found
that servants are less inclined to take
cold, because of the eQuable tempera-
ture

CHAPTER Kill
Perfectly Happy Woman.

A Perfectly Happy Woman.
They would never dare do it, Lord
Chandos repeated to himself with a
laugh of contempt. Set his marriage
aside. They were mad to think Of
such thing.
From time to time strange looking
documents came to him. He thrust
them aside without even looking at
them. He only laughed at the notion.
Part him from Leone. 1t was not in
the power Of any one on earth to do
it. He never mentioned the matter to
Leone at all; it was not worth while
to disturb her.
They had been to Richmond and had
found there a VIVA so beautiful it
seemed to have been built for them
a quaint, picturesque old English
house, full of pretty hooks and corners,
with large latticed windows, over
which roses and jasmine hung in abun-
dance; a smooth, green lawn on which
stood a superb cG0ar tree; beautiful
grounds that reached down to the riv-
er The views from the windows were
superb. 1t was worth anything to
stand on that green lawn and watch
the sunset on the Thames.
Leone was delighted with it, she
had never dreamed of a home so beau
tiful. Lord Chandos furnished it with
the utmost luxury, and there the first
few happy months Of their life were
spent. Lord Cuandos did not wish ex-
actly that his marriage should be kept
secret, but he did not want it known
to the world in general until his moth
er was willing to introduce and receive
his wife.
To Leone that life that opened to
her was like a heaven on earth. Her
husband surrounded her with ''kind
Observances. " He purchased for hel |
a wardrobe that was marvel of beau
ty and elegance; he found a French |
lady's-maid who understood all the du-
ties of the toilet What was more,
he had the best masters in London to
instruct her. Her voice was one of the |
finest ever heard, her taste for music
was so great that she was soon prof.
cient.
He taught her to ride. There was
one thing singular-every master who |
ATTENDED her was aware Of a great hid |
den power within her They said |
among each other that she was some
thing wonderful the world would
hear of her some day. There was an
innate sense of power, a grand dramat-
ic instinct, a keen sense Of everything |
beautiful, noble and great. There
were times when an electric flash of |
genius made them marvel.
1T is a thousand pities," said the
music-master to himself, that She has
married nobleman. If she had been
dependent on her own exertions, Il
could have made her one of the finest
singers in the world"
Again, the drawing master said:
IF had the training of Lady Chan
dos l would make her the finest artist
in England"
None Of them had discovered the
real secret of her genius, Or what was
the true fire that every now and then
seemed to brighten them all as it
flashed over them.
A few weeks completely changed
her; she had that keen, quick insight
into everything, that wondrous tact
and intelligence which make some
women seem as though they were ma
gicians.
When she first went to River View,
she had some traces of her rustic
