China for the kitchen can be had at 
varying prices depending largely on the 
part of the country you live—from ten 
cents upward if there is a dime shop 
around. Yet there are inexpensive sets 
to be had from time to time at from 
$20 upward—and downward. 
It isn’t always necessary to buy at 
the beginning a whole set of china for 
the kitchen. Six of each thing ought 
to be plenty for a time, counting break¬ 
age, which is perennial. 
Platters for the ice box in enamel are 
excellent, but if you have extra plates 
for kitchen use they might (subject to 
easier breakage) be utilized.

Last but not by any means least is 
the cook book. For what availeth it if 
we have utensils by the score if we know 
not how to fill them and manage foods 
in them? 
There are many books on the market 
of fame and good repute, but we have 
yet to see one for the beginner that out¬ 
does the “Home Science Cook Book,” 
by Anna Barrows and Mary B. Lincoln. 
Both these women have cooked and lec¬ 
tured and taught the science of cookery, 
and, what is more, they know its prac¬ 
tise. In this book are to be found sim¬ 
ple, brief, successful, economical recipes 
and methods of serving which in their 
very simplicity knock terror out of the 
culinary life for the matrimonial initiate. 
The writer of this article has had eulo¬ 
gies heaped upon her by various brides 
and even experienced housekeepers for 
the knowledge given them of this book. 
News of Domestic Aids 
(Continued from page 47) 
bulbs in one plug. A makeshift, of 
course, but it doesn’t look like one; 
and if your home was built in the pre¬ 
electric era you can keep up with the 
times with this device. 
Lamps seem today to be one of the 
newer adjustabilities. A very useful 
lamp to fix on the piano to light the 
eye to the musical page will be a real 
convenience to the home in which the 
piano has to be in the living room. The 
whole room can be dark except for 
the illumination of the music pages— 
the audience can sit in darkness and 
have their comfort evolve from the 
lighted region. Here is a time when 
from sitting in darkness, light, comfort 
and good deeds may emerge. This 
lamp can be had in all wood finishes 
and can be placed on beds or chairs 
if wanted in these ways. 
Not snubbing other devices at all, 
we must lump a few suggestions in 
electric apparatus. For example, the 
hair dryers, giving cold and hot air, 
the violet ray machines, the vibrator—- 
all three made in convenient size and 
light in weight. With these three things 
one’s boudoir is much more complete. 
Yesterday the silence doth of cloth 
was all we had to put under our table¬ 
cloth. Today asbestos in all its fire 
impenetrability is to be had in comfort¬ 
able sheets for table use—to protect 
the polished surface in entirety and en¬ 
rich the tablecloth. We have known 
the mats in asbestos—now we have the 
table rug. 
Jars of pottery can be rapidly turned 
into electric lamps by a new device 
made to fit down in and raise above a 
lamp shade, bulb and complete para¬ 
phernalia. Think of the good uses 
some old wedding presents can be put 
to! This device comes in sizes to fit 
jars with 3", 4", 5" or 6" openings at 
the top. 
Very nearly meeting the constant 
question: “Do you know of an instan¬ 
taneous heater?” comes the electric 
water heater which when attached to 
your faucet gives instantaneous exceed¬ 
ingly hot water. It is a small thing 
not more than 8" high and it is a boon 
of boons. 
During the summer the attic gets 
overheated and makes itself an impos¬ 
sible place for sleeping. This need not 
be, as there is a material that comes 
in sheets to line the walls and ceiling. 
For cellars the warmth is kept in; for 
attics the heat is kept out. Could 
there be anything more simple and 
adoptable? 
To enclose this article safely we can 
do no more than suggest a ready-made 
fence! It has been on the market 
years—for pastures—but is now being 
introduced for the garden use of peo¬ 
ple who don’t want to or can’t make 
a new fence. It is delightful—of 
rough hewn wood, 4, 5 or 6 bars, 
posted and diagonalled. For a ram¬ 
bling place for roses and vines it has 
no equal and to be able to buy fences 
by the yard for the yard is veritably 
both joy and comfort brought to our 
very doors.
