Consider the Importance 
of lour 
Lighting Fitments 
A ROOM that has been most carefully planned and deco¬ 
rated may he marred by inappropriate lighting fixtures. 
A knowledge of Riddle Fitments will prove helpful in choosing 
either individual fitments or an entire equipment, for they 
may be chosen with the certainty that they will add to the 
beauty of their setting. 
Riddle Fitments are wrought of metal, and are decorated 
in Silver Estofado and Gold Estofado, in color tones that 
harmonize with practically any scheme of interior decoration. 
As they include ceiling and wall pieces as well as floor and 
table lamps, they permit a complete lighting installation in 
harmony. 
The Riddle.Fitment Book 
describes and illustrates in actual colors various Riddle styles. 
It will prove interesting and helpful to all concerned with 
beautiful interiors. Copy, with name of nearest Riddle dealer,

machinery simpler, and is said to pre¬ 
vent leaking in summer. It can be in¬ 
stalled in a refrigerator. 
A new pot that offers many advan¬ 
tages is guaranteed against burning, 
scorching, spilling and boiling over, and 
it doesn’t need to be stirred. It is of 
aluminum and therefore light and easily 
cleaned. Being a combination of boiler 
and percolator, it cooks by percolation. 
The locked-on top makes it self-drain¬ 
ing. 
Another advantageous piece of equip¬ 
ment is found in the electric plate 
warmer. Built of steel enameled white, 
it would be quite an addition to the 
buttler’s pantry. 
Each season sees many additions to 
the equipment of those households where 
housekeeping is light. The two and 
three person family and the dweller in 
the small apartment, always welcome 
compact equipment. This new kitch¬ 
enette electric stove is certainly com¬ 
pact, being only 34" long, 26" high and 
15" wide. The oven is 13" by 13" by 
13", and is equipped with an upper heat¬ 
ing unit for broiling. The whole stove 
is geared to three heats. 
Modern equipment and modern 
methods have done much to reduce the 
time required in the actual preparation 
of meals. Thus, the new steam electric 
pressure cooker develops 259° of steam 
under twenty pounds pressure. Inset 
pans make it possible to cook several 
foods at the same time without mixing 
the flavors. It is an ideal canner for 
fruit and vegetables. Being of aluminum, 
there is no chance for corrosion or the 
formation of poisonous verdigris. Such 
a cooker cuts down kitchen time 
amazingly. Under the old style of 
cooking, ham required two hours, with 
this it takes only forty minutes; the 
chicken that wanted ninety minutes is 
done in thirty. 
The manufacture of kitchen unit cab¬ 
inets has given the modern kitchen much 
the same air of orderliness that one finds 
in a well-equipped office. They range 
in size from the smallest type one might 
use in a kitchenette to the vaster pieces 
for the kitchen of a big establishment. 
They can be added to as need requires. 
One of the illustrations shows a new 
series of units, with refrigerator, sink 
and cupboards above and below. Such 
a unit would be ample for a moderate 
size house in either the country or town. 
Unit cabinets bring 
order into large or 
small kitchens.
