THE

need not blind us to the value of the tremendous improvements that have been made in the past hundred years. No one, certainly, wants to go back to colonial plumbingor the lack of it. Our great-grandmothers' kitchens were very picturesque places, but we may be sure that they didn't seem picturesque to our grandmothers, who cooked over open fires and baked in Dutch ovens and drew the water from the well. It is very pleasant to sit in an early American drawingroom, but who could be persuaded now to cook dinner in an early American kitchen?

With plumbing and coal, then gas, and finally electricity, the kitchen has changed more than any other room in the house. And the end is not yet in sight. Electric ranges, for instance, have come to stay. For some people, and in some localities, gas, and even coal, will continue to be used; but with the lowering of the rate for domestic purposes, which now in some parts of the country makes cooking by electricity rather expensive, the electric ranges will be more and more widely used.

The advantages of the electric range are obvious. Our electric percolators and toasters have taught us some of them. Automatic temperature control

and the clocks which turn on and off the heat at the times for which they are set are valuable features. Stoves, too, are getting smaller, and are moving back against the wall. They no longer dominate the kitchen like a grand piano in a cottage parlor. The shelftype stoves, made

by the Standard Company, are off the floor entirely, and are made in a number of styles adaptable to the unit method of kitchen arrangement. These are small stoves. The wall-type stoves made by the same company are, as the name implies, built into the wall. These ranges have a pipe flue carried up. through the wall, which takes off the heat and cooking fumes.

From the single hot plate up to the huge hotel range, every size and type of electric cooking apparatus is now being made. Many have fireless-type cookers, and some are combined electricity and coal. An electric water-heater, to attach to the hot-water boiler, is also new.

Electricity is furnishing not only light and heat for the kitchen-it also furnishes power. One of the most elaborate of the contrivances for doing away with the actual hand work of preparing food for cooking is the Kitchen Aid. This machine stirs, mixes, strains, chops, grates, and slices. It will crack the ice and turn the freezer for the ice-cream.

There are also various beverage mixers, similar to those used in soda foun

The Land South

of Romance and Wonder

South Africa offers unique advantages to any one who feels within his veins the call of "wanderlust." To him who has never traveled before it offers a variety of romantic and wonderful scenes not to be found elsewhere. To the experienced traveler, wearied with the repeated sight of old scenes, South Africa presents the allure of "something new" and will reawaken in his heart the old happy thrill of his early adventures.

Nowhere else can one find the wonders of the great "valley of diamonds," from which over $1,000,000,000 of diamonds have been taken; the unrivaled impressiveness of the magnificent Victoria Falls, the Mosi-oatunya," two and a half times as high as Niagara and twice as wide; Kruger National Big Game Park, and a hundred other scenes and sights, unique and memory-holding. Here you will find civilization clasping hands with primeval life, as nowhere else on earth.

SOUTH AFRICA

As for travel, the South African Government Railways are internationally famous for comfort, speed, safety, convenience, dining and sleeping car service.

The several de luxe cruises to South Africa this coming winter have already booked over 2,000 Americans.

Harold Trowbridge

Pulsifer

Glory o' the Dawn

A story that will stir the hearts
of all who love the ways of ships
and the mystery of the past

"G Harold Trowbridge Pulsifer, a

LORY O' THE DAWN," by

story of singular beauty, is told with a quiet impressiveness suggestive of Hawthorne. In the once flourishing Maine port of Middlehaven Caleb Gurney, stone-mason, ship-builder, and maker of models, gave years of his life and all the passion of his soul to recreating in miniature "Glory o' the Dawn." It was not merely a ship model that he fashioned, but a symbol of past greatness. The splendor of those ships which once carried New England's fame through all the seven seas lived again in the moving beauty of the model.

The Savor of the Sea The San Francisco "Journal" says: "This little story is one of remarkable beauty and strength."

The Boston "Globe" says: "It is a rare occasion in the world of books when such a little gem as this is born."

The New York "Herald" says: "Mr. Pulsifer has compounded the pathos and humor of this text into a pleasing mixture."

The "Public Ledger" says: "Mr. Pulsifer has molded his prose to the same sensitive craftsmanship he has given to the shaping of poetry."

tains. One of these which we have seen' is made for the sideboard rather than the kitchen cabinet, and is nothing less than that not yet extinct affair, the cocktail shaker, in a new form. It is finished in hammered silver, and stands on a base to match, which contains the motor. Place the mixer on the base, and it begins to work;. take it off, and the motor stops automatically.

Accessory also to the great American pastime of beverage mixing is the machine which squeezes oranges and lemons electrically. This, however, would seem to be more valuable in a club than in a home. The hand-operated squeezers are enough for all ordinary purposes. One very good one has a cap which pushes the fruit down upon the revolving reamer. Another has three detachable reamers of different sizes for lemcns, oranges, and grapefruit. Both work with a hand crank.

The tendency of recent years in our kitchens has been toward white enamel, with the result that they have come more and more to look like working laboratories. With a view toward brightening up kitchens and making them pleasanter places for those who have to spend time in them, some of the makers of kitchen utensils are introduc

ing color into their products. R. H. Macy had a display recently of small kitchens arranged in different combinations of color which were very pleasing. White furniture edged with color, knives and mixing spoons and teakettles and other accessories with wooden handles in red or green or yellow to match, even saucepans and jars for supplies in solid color, lend a certain gayety to the setting which should react favorably upon the cook. Some of the electrical appliances are made with colored handles. 1 Elite.

and consider the uses to which old Chinese beds can be put. Vantine has imported a number of these and is adapting them to various Western uses. They are the sides of beds, really, with a crosspiece at the top where the tester of an old-fashioned Western bed would come. The wood is lacquered Chinese red, with panels carved in relief and colored black and gold. The figures and trees and animals and dragons in these panels are beautifully carved. Although the beds are not antiques, they are no longer made, and it is difficult to get them in any quantity.

The uses to which they can be effectively put are almost unlimited, since they are of sufficient variety so that they can be cut and fitted for nearly any desired space. They are used as overmantels, as fire screens, or-by taking out one or more panels as mirror frames. The coloring is rich, they possess the style which all Chinese decorative art possesses, and have the advantage, shared by other Chinese furnishings, that they will fit into a room in which no Western product with the same coloring could be tolerated for a moment.

IN view of our caustic words last week

about telephones which masquerade as dolls in crinoline, it seems appropriate to mention here that at Vantine's are many little screens of two leaves, decorated in a variety of styles, which are used to hide telephones. Until the telephone decides to go in for beauty of form and coloring, it can certainly not conceal itself more attractively or inconspicuously. These screens have the advantage of a double hinge, so that they can be bent both ways.

Nevertheless an intelligence classification can be made. Some humorist has recently invented the term "middlebrow" to designate the decent, more or less conventional, fairly well educated, reasonably thoughtful body of men and women who really constitute the backbone of the United States. It was a happy invention. Highbrows, middle

brows, and lowbrows how better can the American democracy be divided into its component parts?

These, of course are very general categories, subject to all sorts of variations and overlappings. Byron, for instance, was a low highbrow and Bunyan a high lowbrow. As for myself, I can never hope to be a highbrow and hope never to be a lowbrow; nor do I want to be a Byron or a Bunyan. What I do hope is that, by the careful cultivation of my tastes, manners, and intelligence, I may be able to keep fairly near to the upper crust of the middlebrows.
