What If a delightful old fairy god
mother, like Cinderella's. should walk
into the kitchen some evening and
find you resting after hard. long day
spent in the unending and pitiless serr:
ice of that fiery dragon. the COOK
stove? This monster. like the one5ie
the story of Andromeda, requires
q woman to be chained up for Its
benefits, and sometimes, indeed. 1t
exacts her life unless some gallant.
rich Perseus comes as her deliverer.
What If the dear old fairy god
mother should wave her wand and
say: Il will loose. these chains and
let you go once more free and happy;
I transform this monster now, on the
spot, Into q neat little box, with a
cook inside, at your service!"
II she should work the trans
formation, place the kitchen lamp I'M
der the box. into which put the food
you wish cooked on the dishes in
which it will, he served. close the box
and the kitchen door. Go to see the
tennis match. the great game OF
football or the latest orchid In the
flower show. Return when you are
ready, and you will find hot, we'll
cooked meal in the box, ali ready to
place on the table.
Can you imagine poor Andromeda
saying: NO. old lady, no! like to
be chained here. love this mon
ster with his dirt and his cySel e4
actions. will be roasted, burned,
broiIed and stewed in his service, and
when he does not need me l viii
stand for hours over a sink scrubbinS
the metal pots he delights in thai Ele
may have the vessels sacred to his
use, bright and ready when I must
again serve him. y
How foolish Of Andromeda! How
incredible, even! Yet this is just what
thousands OF women are doing. while
that very magic box with the cook
inside is waiting to be bought and has
been written about and much used for
certainly 20 years.
The Aladdin oven has been before
the public quite that long. and yet
its advocates are like missionaries In
q Tar country who have such q pre-
cious message to deliver and no one
seems to understand the language in
which IL is spoken. I hope that my
experience with this really wonderful
invention may be Of service to some
of the poor slaves ofsthe cook stove
and incompetent cooks, and. like a
siren whistle, pierce the, ears OF the
deaf and inattentive and cause them
to stop and listen r..
Jean Paul Richter says: Only once
in her life does poor woman hold up
her head and hook at the world as 1t
really is. All her youth her head is
bent and her eyes are downcast IN
study and submission and later her
head is bent over her sewing or her
endless .housework- Only when she
loves does she ~stand upright and Is
pushed out into the sunshine BY low
ing. willing hands, for her short holi-
day with her lover, before her head Is
AGAIN bent forever" Now every wom-
an who does her own cooking can hold
M her head like . betrothed maiden
al the year round.
For several years this Aladdin oven
has been used By family Of four
with such success, health, pleasure
