FIREL-ESS COOKER
CONSERVATOR
OF FUEL

Conservation is the order of the
day. We are cutting down our allow
ance of food, limiting ourselves to a
certain specified amount of fabrics for
clothing, and are doing our best to
save fuel
Just at present the fuel situation is
the most pressing. We have grown
used to the shortage of wheat, meat,
sugar and fats, and it has become
rather an exciting game for the house
wife to contrive dishes which require
the minimum Of these foods. We do
not mind short, scant skirts and jaun-
ty little Jackets, because they are chic
as well as economical. But when it
comes to a shortage of coal in Janu-
airy, a situation is created which is
about as hard to get used to as hang
ing.
But right here is where the fireless
cooker comes nob4y to the aid of the
housewife who honestly wants to
economic on coaI-whether in her
own range, or in the power plant of
the gas house. In other words, she is
taking very seriously to the idea of
cooking food by stored-up heat rath-
CT than by that which must be gener-
ated at the cost of constant fuel con-
sumption.
The principle of fireless cooking is
very simple-nothing more than cook
ing food in a heavily insulated metal
container by means of the heat stored
up in small metal or soapstone disks
called radiators. For anything that
requires long, slow cooking, cr for
cookery that must be done without
constant personal attention, the fire
less cooker is invaluable. Where gas
or electricity in used it also means
great economy of fuel. The advantage
is not so great in a kitchen which
possesses an old-fashioned coal range
because simmering or slow baking
may be done quite as well with the
slow coal fire as with the fireles:
cooker, and the wastage of fuel is neg
ligible. 81
There are three methods of usins
the fireless cooker. First, the alum
mum pot containing the raw cold foo{
may be placed in the '+welT' with ;
heated radiator. Second, the foo
may be boiled for a short time an,

Etiquette

Do not question q. servant or child
about another's family matters.
GLADYS-I have, in my time, seen
few women wearing rings on their
thumbs; in fact, 1 am acquainted with
a woman who wears her wedding ring
on her left thumb, but I think it a
very silly practice, and it must be
most announcement. Women who do
such things have but one object in
view-to attract attention. In the days
Of our grandmothers it was customary
and fashionable to wear rings on the
first and second fingers, and even now
one sometimes sees the middle finger
SO decorated; but a hand looks awk-
ward and unattractive to me if rings
are worn on any but the third or
fourth fingers. And on these fingers,
too, they are less in the way, since
we use our index and middle fingers
much more than the others.
DAUGHTER-You should extend
to your mother every possible cour-
tesy at home and elsewhere. Assist
her in getting into her wraps before
you put on your own; open doors for
her, and always allow her to enter
before you; do her errands and write
her notes-in short, do everything for
her that you can
Housewife-Always be careful not
to over garnish the dishes you serve
at a luncheon or dinner. Garnishes
| should be used in small amounts, and
should be mere accessories. They
must not be allowed to overwhelm
the dish they decorate.

silk STOCKINGS
LOOK SHODDY
IN LONDON

A woman who has returned from
London tells me that silk stockings
really look shoddy over there All the
women who make any pretentions to
style wear the wooden ones. There
are plenty of these for sale in Ameri-
ca, and there are four months in
which they may be worn before the
warm weather arrives.
Jersey is used not only for adult ap-
parel, but has spread downward into
juvenile clothes, and nursery frocks of
pink and blue jersey are quite smart.
1t was not possible for American
fashions to avoid the military influ-
ence, although there was pressure
against it here as in France. Old and
half forgotten wars gave the designers
inspiration, but the present war was
too vital to influence dress at this
hour.
However, there are certain gar
ments that have been taken up by
women and put into high fashion,
which are distinctly drawn from the
battlefront in France.
One of the swinging cape and wrap
ped turban of horizon-blue cloth. An
other is the high boot or puttee that
reaches nearly to the knees and is
worn on the street; and a third-and
this is the most dominant fashionAi5
the new official canteen coat.
This can only be worn by members
of the Red Cross, but who is there in
this country today who hasn't the
right to place a small or s. large croix
rouge somewhere on tf1e costume?
The last drive caught almost everyone
in its mesh.
This coat has been designed by a
Fifth avenue dressmaker. 1t is of
dark blue cloth, as shown in the
sketch. It laps over so broadly in front
that one has a strong suspicion that
there are boomers beneath instead of
a skirt.
The immense pockets are well be-
low the hips. The revers fall back or

On the cuff, and on the high turnover
collar, is the red symbol placed on

cap, which is shaped somewhat like
that of the Belgian officers, has the
symbolic emblem in front.

heated container, be put in the well
without the hot disk. The third meth
cd is q combination of the other two.
That is, the good is first boiled for a
few minutes and is then placed in the
well with one or two heated radiators
to finish.
The heat from the radiator, which
is held in the cooking compartment
by the heavy insulation of the alright
outer case, penetrates the food and
cooks it thoroughly wrrnorr Danger of
drying out or burning. For most foods
the time of cooking is practically the
same as that required on the stove.
One great advantage OF the fireless
cooker is that the food values are all
retained. There is very little evapor-
alton, therefore none of the flavor or
essential qualities of the food are dis
sipated during the cooking process.
Its value is especially evidenced in
the cooking of tough cuts of meat,
which are made tender and juicy and
retain every atom of the rich meat
flavor.

One of the prettiest weddings of the

the wedding march was played pre-
cisely at o'clock.
The bridegroom and his attend

congratulations of the guests present
who numbered about 80.

i've gown of white crepe de chine with
| jewel trimming The veil was of silk
net held in place by a wreath of
white rose buds. She carried a large
| bouquet of white carnations. Her
bridesmaid, Miss Virginia Lisbona,
her sister, was attired in a dress of
light blue yole with a satin stripe The
maid of honor, Miss Amelia Hedman
wore a gown of delicate pink crepe
de chine trimmed with lace. The

ring bearer was Master George Ing
ham, who was dressed in a black
satin suit with white collar and cuffs
and white stockings and black
pumps.
After the reception a wedding sup
per was served. The table was taste
fully decorated with a large wedding
cake as centrepiece.
