THE FORUM has had out its
yardstick this week measuring
the heat areas not alone of the
fine modern stoves that are so
scientifically constructed to give
an even distribution Of heat, but
also the bottoms of various cook
ing utensils that are supposed to
be used over such units with max
imum efficiency.
In one home visited top-of-the-
stove equipment consisted of four
gas units known as concentrator
burners. The design of the burn
ers permits the flame to central
ize directly under a utensil that
rests on grids that are flush
with the enameled tray that aids
in the concentration of heat.

maker brought out her utensils
and in every instance the sauce
pans were from one to two inches
smaller in circumference than the
heat unit The combination of
such saucepans and heating units
means fuel waste and a slowing
up of cooking periods.
With the single exception of
small saucepans, which are actu-
ally used for making sauces, all
utensils used for boiling, steam
ing, simmering or stewing, should
fit accurately, whether the heat
unit is a gas burner or an elec.
trical unit.

their use only tends to clog the

After 80, skin care becomes

thereby avoiding dry and

Women who have retained their
beauty at 50-and there are an
increasing number in these days
of wise personal care-have been
able to do so because they are
watchful of little things. Natural
ly, they use good cosmetics to
firm and soften skin tissues; but
they are slow to anger, knowing
that emotional outbursts leave de-
struction in their wake; have
never subsidized into the COM

they have kept on mental tip

There is an interesting story
behind the development of the

a large institution after the most
painstaking research into indi-

duly chronicled. From these

The initial period begins around

constantly from the little shops
of the boulevards.
With the navy costume suit
pictured here, a glowing powder
blue is the contrasting color. It
appears in the blouse, which is
smartly detailed in the manner
of the new season. The full
skirt, closely pleated all around,
achieves an entirely new effect
and compliments perfectly the
slim hip-length jacket. Long re-

in an unusual way.
The little veiled sailor chosen
to complete the costume has
band and bow over the hair in the
back. Hats, too, enter the classi-
fication of greater dressiness with
the softer type of suits. No
longer does it seem necessary to
the fashionable woman that her
suit and suit hat should be of the
strictly tailored type, for the more
feminine and gracious note is
sounded in the majority of these
daytime costumes. Sailors are
perennial favorite of the season.
Lydia designs them in fine felts
and wide range of brim types.
One tiny straight hat has long
streamers dangling childishly
down the back. A medium sailor
designed by this famous Ameri-
can milliner has a stitched gros-

and a very wide -brimmed model
is ornamented with braided gros-
grain about the shallow crown.
The other costume pictured
illustrates again the seasons de-

a light sky blue Is contrasted with
black. The rather squared topcoat

Americans Are Not Accustomed to
Making the Most of Leisure Time

It is not true that reduction of
working time in the last several
decades has made leisure auto
matically advantageous; for,
with the greater increase Of the
time not absolutely necessary to
earning living, there have come
inventions which are especially
adapted to consumption of this
leisure time, to wit, the radio
and the movies.
And the augmentation of { h e
periods not necessarily given to
working has created the problem
not of how to use leisure but how
to use it properly and most effec-
lively for our own happiness and
our own betterment.
Most Of us are insanely extrava-
CANT with the time known as
leisure.
Instead Of using it to store up an
authentic happiness for ourselves
by riding a worth while hobby,
reading truly great works Of lit
erature, or in kindred pursuits,
we devote entirely to much at
tention to mere "time killers"
There is something terribly
wasteful in attempting merely ito
pass time away" in view Of the
pricelessness of all moments.
Persons who spend half an hour,
or an hour, a day over many
years riding street cars, content
ing themselves with gazing UNI
thinkingly at scenery which is as
familiar to them as the backs of
their own hands, have wasted
years which, might profitably have
