TUESDAY.
We'll I hope Helen let you into the
secret of dish covers yesterday" laughed
Mr.. Hooper as the family were gathered
for their evening meal, because my dear
this fried sausage meat is decidedly cold"
"Oh l know it is Henry" said Mrs
Hooper despairingly, land to think I've
lived to serve my family luke warm
meals. But there isn't a thing in the
house that would cover that big round
platter"
Remember what I told YOU" said
Helen impress:vely.
Indeed I do and think It is a very
clever idea Of whoever thought of it first"
answered Mrs. Hooper enthusiastically,
land shall make some like those you
describe at once"
make themi" exclaimed Mr. Hooper In
dismay. Dish coYers?" "Who is going
TO make them?"
Il said was" remarked Mrs. Hooper,
Il don't need either Roger or you to help
me do Helen"
Il don't believe So" replied Helen 10
she passed her plate for more vegetables.
Mary Childs says her mother makes
theirs very easily"
well what's the big idea, - inquired
Roger slangily. Let Helen alone to
hear something wonderful from that
bunch Of girls she goes with"
Helen began to bride at her brothers
remark, but Mrs. Hooper came to her
defense.
at is certainly a splendid scheme
she said, land I wouldn't be surprised i1
Helen's friends mother is some one I'd
like very much to know If she has any
more inventions like that"
impatiently. ~ hope 1t is something
that can be made quickly whatever it is
before we have any more such cold food
in this dining room"
'Ill go right downtown tomorrow ana
buy the materials" replied Mrs. Hooper
smiling. "I1l first get several sizes Of
cheap tin pans such as they sell in all
8 and 10-cent stores and even In ths
stores where you buy tinware they have
these cheap tin pudding or baking pans,
Then in the store where you buy hard
ware and household accessories you can
buy little tin knob handles thet have
square rivet fasteners. You turn the pan
upside down and find the center Of it,
punch a hole through with an awl, push
the little handle through the hole, screw
it up tightly with the little rivet and
you have a bright shining cover with
handle that sets tightly over dishes to
which you flt them"
AN inverted tin pan is all It is then,
with handle on it." remarked Mr.. Hoop
er, rather skeptically.
Exactly" replied Mrs. Hooper, 'but
looking quite as bright as silver and
the little handles are metal so that they
ought to look rather nice as well as be-
ing perfectly service9ble-that I know"
Pretty cheap looking, I should say"
scofed Roger. Wed better go on hav-
ing cold toast, I think
"Or else buy new electric toaster."
argued Henry.
I'VE will do neither" declared Mrs.
Hooper. Helen and I will proceed az
once to make q set of covers of three
different sizes-one Of a pan large enough
to cover that Lig round platter, another
to cover that dish the size of a dinner
plate and a still smaller size for dishes
not so large"
and there are little oval pans, too.
this girl says, that At over small
plstters,' said Helen bursting to add
more information.
I'D like 10 know how you expect to get
the handle exactly in the center" said
Roger, land just a hairs breadth off
center and your cover Will be mess. How
do you think you'll find the middle Of the
pan perfectly mother?" he asked
QuizzicalIy.
ooh I know that, too" shouted Helen
excitedly. 81 forgot to tell you mother.
You put the pan right side up on a
sheet Of paper and draw a circle around
the notion Of I. Cut out the circle Of
raper-foId it into four exact quarters
and crease 1t and when you unfold it the
center is marked. Then spread it OF the
bottom Of the pan and punch the hole
right through the center of the paper ana
ALL"
Yes, that'll do it all right" said Roger
grudgingly, az didn't suppose a woman
would think Of that"
