served the moment they are taken from
tho oven, as otherwise they fall. An
excellent plan Is to cover souffia with
a hot inverted tin on its passage from
the kitchen to the dining room
Even when eggs are selling at the
present price the economically inclined
housewife will wish to use them to the
very best advantage, and this can often
be accomplished by using the whites of
the egg IN one dish and the yoks in
another. Thus the whites can be utilized

steam started, and after thirty-five
minutes the clothes (Which were

found to be perfectly clean. What
happens is that the steam pressure

tom Of the boiler (it will fit the

three pieces Of non-rusting white
alloy (not copper), securely pressed
together without rivets. The base
is shallow pyramid, rising about
" inches above the boiler bottom
IN the center and sloping to the
crimped edge, which permits the
water to flow under it and also
strengthens the construction. The
second piece is the central inverted
funnel, 10 inches high, 3 inches wide
at the base and ~ inches at the
top. The third piece is the cap, clos
ing the funnel. In the funnel are
three rows of holes, 51s, and 1O1a
