COMPARTMENTS FOR
BUREAU DRAWERS

Old-fashioned bureaus and dressing tR-
bles used to have a supply Of small
drawers or else had the large top drawer
subdivided into convenient little compart-
ments suitable as receptacles for gloves,
handkerchiefs and other such small ac-
| cessories which are easily lost or mixed
up
The modern girl Is expected to keep a
supply of fancy cretonne-covered boxes
on top OF her dresses to hold these arti-
cles, but as such boxes soon soil or be-
come over-crowded II has remained for
somebody to invent a detachable wooden
framework buttomless and lidless which
may be covered with cretonne and laid in
the drawer.
A homemade contrivance on the same
order may be manufactured at home by
means Of a number Of shallow cigar
boxes or even strong pasteboard boxes Of
uniform size stitched or tackled firmly
together and covered with cretonne. II
cigar boxes are used. they must be thor
oughly aired and scented to remove the
fragrant aroma which, while pleasant
is hardly suitable as a satchel for
milady's toilet accessories. Such a set of
boxes, however, will make a nice gift for
a man to hold ties, handkerchiefs and
trinkets.
II the framework is manufactured at
home, II should measure not more than
eighteen inches long by twelve wide, and
the compartment can be gauged by what
they are intended to hold.

less Cooker.
The question of securing a supply of
hot tea or cold lemonade during an out
ing is one which may be solved in va
rious ways. The simplest OF all plans,
however. is the making OF a hay basket.
For the purpose il is only necessary to
secure a good-sized basket. a bottle and
a quantity of hay.
When the tea or the lemonade has been
made the tea. after a suitable interval
for standing. is strained away from the
leaves. The tea must be poured sCaId.ng
hot into the bottle and. in order to pre-
plan first to place the vessel in an oven
for short time so that it becomes thor
oughly hot
Without any delay the bottle with the
tea must be packed away into the basket
After carefully COrking. put the bottle
into the basket in the most convenient
position II is very likely that il will
not stand quite upright. and in this case
it may be placed in the basket slantways
Now start 10 pack in the hay all round
the bottle. This should be rammed in as
tightly as possible, and for the purpose
1t will be found that a small stick is use
full. Be careful to see that there are no
spaces anywhere, as anything in this
way is likely TO bring about a loss of
heat or cold.
Finally. a thick layer Of hay il placed
right on the top OF the bottle. so that Il
is entirely buried. In a hay basket OF
this description it will be found that the
tea will keep scalding hot for many
hours, and lemonade cold for CORES
ponding time.
other dishes il placed in air-tight jars
will also keep at the temperature at
which they are packed But naturally
all hot or all cold refreshments, solid
or liquid, must be In one basket.

a very good plan to cook only such food
as can be quickly cooked on very warm
days. On the occasional cool days that
come from time to time, cook roasts,
make a supply Of soup stock and do as
much baking as possible. Steaks and
chops. broiled fish. egg dishes of various
sorts-all these can be prepared with
little heat on very warm days. Salads.
sliced tomatoes. peas and corn. cucum-
bers-if you consider them Wholesome

for the vegetables that require longer
cooking. For desserts gelatine desserts
OF all sorts, ices and ice cream, blanc

fresh fruit, can be prepared without long
minutes over a sizzling stove.
There are certain very Satisfactory
oil stoves which can be safely used in
a house where there is no gas or electric
stove to make cooking comfortable in
warm weather. These should be carefully
used and they should be kept perfectly
clean for the sake of safety.
