creaSed--that they have become ma
chimes. in stead of human hands.
Either way. unless one is a pro-
nounced and inearable pessimist. one
certainly feels that the general labors
of the housewife have been lighteRed
materially in this, our present age.
The fireless cooker was considered
quite labor saver when ii first ap-
peared. and It has won a we'll earned
corner in the modern kitchen. Now
comes an improvement on it-an cleo
tric cooker. This does away with the
heating of the stones. And better
still, since il has thermostatic control.
it practically amounts to having a ser
want watching the cooking. Yes. thaJ
is n large word. but il means that
when the heat has reached certain
temperature, 1t automatically turns it
self off leaving the food to cook in its
own heat, as in the usual cooker.
Food can be put in cold and raw, and
left for any number of hours and will
come out in god shape and never
burned.
Another of the electric helps Is q
heater for eggs or mayonnaise which
can be obtained with guaranteed
motor. 1t is an amazingly fast little
worker. beating two eggs in one-half
minute. 1t will also hanhle pop

yum, the waffles Here of course
comes in the serviceable waffle iron
and its cakes--can't you just smell
the crisyp crustiness of them?
That does indeed remind one of
breakfast, and another little electric
assistant wants to be noticed This
is an ovenette that stands over a hot
plate. II can b. used for maging bis
cults or muffins, or to heat the rolls
or breakfast flakes. And whats
more, it uses no more current than a
toaster.
Amongthe assistants not electrical
is the steam pressure cooker. This,
too, is one of the fast workers, with
such astounding records to its credit
as coking chicken in thirty minutes.
potatoes in five and ham in fifty
minutes. 1t will also bike puddings
and short cakes A little portable
dish washer is another good little
helper. 1t Is round and small enough
to be carried easily and operated with
the water pressure from the faucet.
Obliging, it is not?
Along similar lines is small
clothes washer, that sets in the sink
and operates from the faucet. 1t is
useful for small delicate things, baby's
clothes, and so on. It weighs but six
pounds and so can easily be carried
about. BY adding warm water and
soap chips, your clean clothes will be
ready to serve in fifteen minutes.
To add to the beauty of the house

the console sewing machine. This isl

that the sewing, as 1t runs under the

the floor.
The machine when closed presents

Caps and hats for juveniles are

MILDLY hats to match their wash suits

Caps for the older boys are de-

spring shades. The one-piece kind is
preferred, with a generous tip and
voluminous crown which is worn
slightly pulled to one side. Giving a
rakish appearance that is quite the
thing, I'm told.
