some other needs Of the household. In the toe
of mothers stocking put a tumbler egg-beat-
er-so handy for making one yolk into tempt
ing dish for the convalescent or the unex-
pected guest and small enough to fit into any
cup or tumbler. Put in flashlight for the
bedside or the trip down the cellar for the mid
night feast Don't despise the humble pan
greaser that makes the greasy paper relic
of the past, eliminates the danger Of burned
fingers and brings joyous relief to the cook at
every turn in the days work.
Also, while you are thinking about the dan
ger of burned fingers, you might as well add a
pan-lifter that will grip and hold the hot pan
that must be taken out Of the oven and trans
fer it to the kitchen table without inconven-
fence or disaster Ask Mother how often she
has hunted for the elusive cloth or holder that
is never just at hand, and how often she has
scorched her finger tips on those hot and
heavy roasting pans, and you will see the ad-
visibility of including this humble little inn
plement among the surprises you are planning
for Mothers Christmas stocking
In connection with those same abused finger
tips, can cutter of the latest improved pat

enough 10 cut the tin easily and so designed
that it cuts in clean line and grips its prey
so firmly that there is no danger Of slipping.
Small enough also to so in the stocking is
the neat little apple corer, which cores and
splits the apple all at once, needing only one
motion instead of the complicated performance
needed for coring and slicing an apple if there
are not adequate tools at hand.
Then there are the beautiful boat-shaped
biscuit pans of aluminium which make possible
home made dinner rolls as shapely and tempt
ing as those produced by baker trained to
the art. And there are fascinating little indi-
vidual dishes Of all kinds,-casseroles, rame-
kins, custard cups and the like,-in glass,
aluminium, stone and earthenware,--thats save
dishwashing and help to make the table service
unusual and interesting. The best-laid table
to-day is that which shows the most individual
ity in its furnishings.
A French dressing bottle that includes
among its etched decorations graduated lines
marked "oil" and vinegar" in Just the right
quantities for the perfect dressing and with

signs so that it not only serves to cook In, but
also takes its place as serving dish on any
table, no matter how delicately or deliberately
set forth with porcelain, crystal and silver.
Many housewives have feared to use these
glass cooking dishes, which are as alluring in
shape and finish as a Greek amphora or any
treasured piece of old pottery, for fear they
will break or fake off under the heat. But
there is absolutely no ground for such fear.
The glass is toughened and annealed until it
can stand almost any degree Of heat More
than this, it has mysterious power OF giving
to any bread, cake, pudding or pie baked in
it beautiful thick crisp crust-the kind that
is guaranteed TO "make the hair curl" II a
trustful child will faithfully consume it.
When we come to the electric household con-
veniences there is no end TO the pleasure that
can be given by wise generosity in this di-
rection.
OF course, if there is plenty Of money to
spend. the best possible gift would be one Of
the big labor-savers by which electricity is
called in to do the heaviest work Of the house.
With an electric washing machine, mangle and
iron there is no cause for dismay even If the
washerwoman should prove as unreliable as
most of her KIND. with an elccIric disnWdshef
no one need dread the penance that follows
hard on the Joy Of good dinner. With an
electric bread mixer, delicious homemade
bread is no longer luxury because OF the
time and muscle it demands. With an electric
unit that runs the ice cream freezer, the churn
and the bread mixer, and will diminish its
strength TO the handling of such light tasks as
whipping cream and making salad dressing,
the housewife finds that she is able to divert
a goodly share Of both mind and strength from
the problem Of preparing three meals day.
And Of all the ways in which Christmas cheer
is brought into the home, nothing is more
lasting than the consciousness OF cares light
ened, work made easy and time released for
other things.
A full electric equ. pment for the kitchen Is
the ambition Of every efficient modern house
wife; dream which Mother hopes to realize
some day when there is more money to spend
for Injuries. But you can help her to begin
TO realize il right now.
Whether it be for the quick breakfast in the

Without going quite these lengths The Tribune In
stitue dares to believe that many woman would welcome
Christmas gift either specially beautiful or specially
convenient kitchen utenss-those things she would feel that
she could afford under ordinary circumstances but that
would be convenience in the household workshop every
day throughout the year and also delight to both sight

The studio is made beautiful, why not the kitchen? In
the days when houscwfery the chief end and ann OF
woman the tools she used her daily work were not only
exqusiey kept but in themselves beautiful enough to
be regarded to-day Obets dart The strange thing Is
that many of US cannot see that strictly unitarian
modern utensils which the purpose so much better IN
every way arc equally good look at and make quite as
lovely gifts Wlowware and copper kettles, brass pots
and pewter mugs are wonderfully interesting relics of the
ideals and of former day. but compared with them
our modern utensils are the automobile compared with
the picturesque ox-cart
And these modern utensils need not be either costly or
complicated in order be both beautiful and efficient FOR
ten cents or quarter you buy all sorts OF little ODD
convenences for the kitchen that will help Mother more
than YOU realize 1t all depends knowing just what tc

Father and Johnnie have had knives the Christmas
tree since time out of mind. Why wouldn't Mother and
Sister welcome set of knives and openers that would
enable them to handle with and dexerity any fruit
vegetable or meat tin to cut warm loaf OF bread or
cake without saving it to pieces?
Also the fastidous would enjoy grapefruit set
of flexible knives curved at the tip, that neatly separate
