ELECTRIC COOKERY.
OLD-FASHIONED DOLL?

(FrOn1 Mrs. p. p. D., BetheSdd.J
For Mrs. C. M. NJ, Silver Spring:
We, too, recently purchased an elec-
tric stove. Ours has the feature
which enables it to be set to auto
matically turn on and off during
my absence. In this way can put
my oven meal in the stove, go out
for the day, and return to find hot
meal ready to serve. This, OF course,
after properly setting the controls.
With my stove came booklet en-
titled "Carefree Cooking" published
by the Frigidaire division, General
Motors Corp, Dayton l, Ohio. 1t
has 48 pages of recipes and instruc-
tions for using my particular model
of stove, but Of course the recipes
may be used in any stove.
Pages 80 through 40 give the COM
plete oven meals in which you are
Interested. They are: Roast chick
en- meal, roast beef meal, salmon
souffle meal, baked hash meal, meat
loaf meal, baked end of ham meal,
and oven breakfast, all except the
latter with accompanying vegetable
and dessert dishes. The booklet
gives the recipe for each dish.

I have for long time desired to
find out If it is possible to purchase
dolls which when I was child d5 to
20 years ago) were simply known as
sBye-Lo" or "Bye-Low" babies"
believe they were made In Germany.
Their heads and hands were made
Of fine china, their bodies and limbs
were stuffed. They were about III
to Il inches long. They were the
most perfect replicas of a tiny in
FAINT that have ever seen, far above
ANYTHING which is made today. The
coloring and features were extraor-
dinarily like that of a week-old BABY
I had an aunt in North Carolina
who gave me one when I was about
8 years old. They really are i'm
practical for a small child because
of the china head and hands, but
somehow her own little girl kept one
for Is years without breaking it. II
any one knows how may get one
either new or old, should really
appreciate hearing about 1t.
