nor is it necessary to send a. gift. One
can do SO, however, and it is probably
always best to write a letter of con-
graduation and send a small gift, pro-
viding the friendship is of long stand
ing. There are no hard and fast rules
governing such cases. since many
church weddings are partially private,
with the understanding that Interested
friends and acquaintance can be pres
ent, If they SO desire. Invitations to
a home wedding, If not including re-
ception card. do not necessarily need
to be answered, although most per-
sons do answer them. When the in
vitation to the wedding and reception
is extended, the recipient should send
a gift on the day of the wedding and
be present or send regrets.

Ffreless cooking is the latest, and
"F1reless Cooked Sunday Dinners" ap-
pears ON some menu cards. Some OF
our Norwegian friends are smiling at
this and saying they have used these
cooking boxes in the old country for
about 200 years. and that our govern
ment has adopted them at their ad-
vice. bnt this is only added proof OF
the efficiency of the method. and like
most old-new things the fireless cook
er % a decided success in this country.
This Hreless cooker has three receo-
tacles, the box is packed with ashes
tos paper and the pad resting by its
side Is stuffed with the same. This
pad Is placed over the kettles before
the lid of the box is closed.
Many of our stores carry these hre-
less cooking boxes. which come In
various sizes. The one in the Illus
trati0n is home made. has granite ket-
ties and Is about Is inches square for
each kettle, or Is to so inches long.
The box rests on the floor. and when
closed is ornamental. So great Is the
rage for these cookers that in apart
ments O. restricted quarters 1t is dan
gerous to sit on couch for fear cook
ing is going on inside. These Norwe-
gian cooking boxes are simply a plan
to save fuel. 1t is a scientific fact
that 1t is impossible to raise the tenn
perature of boiling food above 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit. except in her
metically sealed vessels. The fireless
cooker retains this heat. which the
food has attained before being re-
moved from the fire. ar

of the family fuel. The principle upon
which tclese stoves are constructed is
the scientific retention of heat, the
cooker being to retain the heat first
generated on the cooking stove. This
process is excellent for many things
that require slow cooking and the
comfort OF preparing a dinner and at
tending church or being gone for a
half day or more with the knowledge
the food will be well cooked and not
burned is q boon to many house
keepers
All kinds of material are employed

are artistic arts and crafts creations,
and others are deliberately covered with
plush. However. it is entirely un-
necessary to buy an expensive fireless
heater. as many housewives have
proved. The accompanying picture
gives an idea of how the box should be
constructed. One of the best home
made fireiess cookers was made by
the man of the house out of a large
wooden box. whose cover fitted snug
ly after it was placed on hinges. This
he lined with asbestos paper, which
cost only a feT cents. A large two
quart granite kettle completed the out
it, When the kettle was placed in
the box it was completely surrounded
with small pieces of newspaper. which
fitted in all the chinks and corners.
After the food was brought to the boil
ing point it was placed in the kettle,
securely covered, and the result has
been perfectly cooked food, at a small
outlay. Rolled newspapers were first
used in this experiment, but did not
prove q success. as the air could get
around them. and they could not be
packed as tightly as the paper clip

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

In deploriHg the fact that women
are usually paid less than men for

writer's overlook certain points which
are necessary to just consideration
OF the question. AS no one individual
or corporation, more than another, Is
to blame, It is the world in general
that must be blamed or justified. with
many notable exceptions, the world
tends to frame its customs so as to
work out the greatest good to the
greatest number. The individual must
be forever secondary to the common
good. The question may then be
