EVER USED A
PIE WHEEL?
BY Hannah Wing

Nov pie wheels not a new
IN kind of pastry, neither is it
a device for spinning pies out ir
ever-increasing numbers. 1t Is just
a simple little device which does
In one turn of the wheel all the.
work of trimming the crust. press
ing the edges together and max
ing the nice even little perfora-
tions around the edge which
cooks have variously instructed
us 10 make with q fork, a thin
hIe. a thumb and this and II
that,
One edge of the wheel is disc,
sharp enough To- trim the crust
evenly and quickly while the
inner side of the disc has an
even row of short prongs which
briskly press the edges of the
crust together and leave them
neatly marked-while the wheel
runs merrily around the pie. The
whole thing is thus accomplished
In much less time than 1t takes
10 tell it.
The device is simple and dura-
bile in construction. IT is made OF
clean. bright aluminium, easily
washed and nothing to get out
of order. 1t takes up little room
in the cutlery drawer. and is just
the sort Of thing the hand of
the cook will involuntarily reach
for when. the finishing moment
in the. creation of pie arrives.

If the young man to whom she
is betrothed should by any chance
regret the choice that was made

The next step in the betrothal
is the presentation on the part of
the young man of some food pre-

known as Warming"
Then for four days the girl
