PORTABLE OVENS.

For the small family a portable oven
that can be set over top burner Is
great saver Of gas. A small sheet-iron
oven with a shelf can be bought for 20
cents. One with an asbestos lining costs
from 81 80 upward Some Of these are
fitted with transparent doors so that the
food in the oven can be watched without
the door being opened. For one or two
pies, O. loaf of cake, pan OF biscuit
casserole dish, or a small roast. this
portable oven will do just as well as the
large oven and the consumption OF gas
Is only half as much. Excellent toast
can be made in the portable oven. FOR
q family of three or four one can cook
small roast, baked potatoes. baked apples
and custard all at the same time Though
the initial cost OF an asbestos-lined. port
able oven is greater than the cost OF a
sheet iron one, IL is better economy In
the long run 10 buy the first named, since
less gas is required to keep II heated at
the baking point
covered roasting pan is useful IN
every kitchen, and the housekeeper VINO
learns its various uses will find among
other things that she can make IL an
excellent fuel saver. 1t is not advisable

and pork can be admirably roasted on the
top Of the stove If placed in a covered
roasting pan.

A VEIL AND A SMALL HAT.

When putting on the veil arrange the
gathers in position. then place the
thumbs just below the ears. allowing the
veil TO rest in the spaces between them
and the first fingers Raise the hands
slowly. gathering the veil into tidy folds.
until the centre Of the back of the hat Is
reached: then tie the veil once, tuck away
the ends neatly and pin them inside the
brim Of the hat.
Take a fiat veil brooch. and secure the
folds with this just above the neck. This
helps to keep both the hair and ven
,idv and does away with that very un-
SLIGHTLY "screw" which one sees under
rho chins OF so many women OF this coun-
try but never in the toilet of an irn-
maculate French woman.

BAKING AND ROASTING.

Let US now consider how gas may he
saved when baking and roasting. Most
housekeepers know that extensive use OF
the gas oven results in a heavy gas bill.
But why use the big oven when
smaller one will do just as well. or why
use IL when single burner and COW
cred roasting pan can he made 20 DO the
work usually done by the big oven?
In order to discuss intelligenuy the
saving Of gas in connection with the use
Of the range oven one should know the
fact that in all standardized" gas ranges
each bar burner for the oven consumes
about the same quantity OF gas As sim
gle top burner That Is 10 say, when both
bars are lighted the oven is consuming
twice the amount Of gas that top burn
er would consume. 1t makes no difference
what kind of top burner the range has,
whether II is one with round perforations
called the drill burner. or with narrow
Sits for the gas 10 flow through-this
type being known as a sword burner
or whether il is the burner in two round
sections known as the cone type OF
each OF these types there are various de-
signs--stars, rings and crosses-but IN
all standard ranges the proportion of gas
used in the oven bars and in the top burn
ers is maintained The giant or double
top burner consumes about twice as much
gas as the single burner or the same as
the two oven bars
