These bulbs were grown under con¬ 
tract by a prominent Holland grower for 
the French, German and Russian trade. 
The contracts were broken on account 
of the war, and the grower is compelled 
to sell at a great sacrifice. 
I will guarantee that they are of the 
same FINE QUALITY as the goods I 
regularly deliver to my customers. 
They are packed in lots of 100, and 
not less than 100 bulbs will be sold to a 
customer at these prices. This is the 
greatest bargain ever offered in Gladioli 
Bulbs, and the entire allotment will be 
quickly taken. Compare these prices 
with any catalog and send your order 
with remittance today.

Warming Devices for the Kitchen 
(Continued from page 271) 
warming oven may be heated by lighting 
the pilot burner. In gas ranges having 
two baking ovens, one is always available 
for a warming oven by using the pilot 
burner. Even with these facilities it is a 
great advantage to have some kind of 
supplementary warming appliance. In 
kitchens heated by steam or hot water 
this is easily managed by purchasing hat- 
topped grills to fit over the kitchen radia¬ 
tor. These grills come in different sizes, 
and may be painted the color of the 
radiator. With these the heat of the 
radiator is always available to dry kitchen 
towels, pots and pans, and the like. Both 
dining-room and kitchen radiators may be 
thus equipped. The grills cost from $1.25 
to $1.50, according to size. The dining¬ 
room radiator grill is very convenient for 
warming dishes that do not need to go to 
the kitchen at all. 
In homes where it is possible to have 
special warming facilities in the pantry, 
the closet where the table service is kept 
may be warmed by having heated coils 
pass under the shelves. In other special 
cases special pantry radiators are manu¬ 
factured which have two shelves made of 
coils heated from the furnace. 
In even the simplest home, this need 
may be met by having a shelf built back 
of the three-burner Junior gas stove in 
the kitchen. In such a case the gas stove 
should be set out a little from the wall. 
The shelf may be made the same height 
and covered with zinc. A portable oven 
may be heated on a regular gas burner 
and then set back on this shelf to serve as 
a warming closet for the dishes. In such 
a case it is well to have, in addition, a two 
or four-shelf steamer, in which food may 
be placed in the serving dishes and kept 
hot until it is ready to be put on the table. 
The Inviting Hall 
(Continued from page 254) 
coat, costs but little, if any more. For the 
hall of ordinary width the foregoing treat¬ 
ments will all be found satisfactory, but 
there is an additional latitude in the choice 
of papers. A light, gray paper, with a 
foliage pattern, or some of the revived 
Chinese patterns with a light ground, or 
even some of the old landscape block 
printed papers in patterns that have been 
recently revived may be recommended. 
For halls that are virtually rooms, wood 
is the only fit flooring. As people will sit 
there, a tile, stone, or concrete floor would 
have to be heavily rugged or carpeted all 
the time, in which case it would not par¬ 
ticularly matter what the floor was made 
of. With regard to color, these living- 
room halls may be treated exactly as any 
other room, but it will generally be found 
safe to stick to the principle of light walls 
and light woodwork, unless the architec¬ 
tural motif of the house obviously demands 
some other treatment. 
In any case where the ceiling is unduly
