As the bleak days of winter are UDon us, the thoughts of all are centered on Keeping warm. Even with the best heat. ing outfit there are times when a small auxiliary beater with Instant control-is desirable. The bathroom, the library, the sick room and others often call for such a heater not large enough for general heating, but effective in taking uie cjam if the air or heating cold corners.. This is the field of the elec tric luminous radiator. . Such a heater consists essentially of one or more heating units similar to electric lamps, which are mounted in a suitable frame or reflector. They are so made that all of the current is ulti mately converted into heat; while only a ernau amount or light la emitted. With its soft, 'cheerful crlow. the lu minous radiator is an excellent substi tute ror the old fashioned ftreDlace ao popular nowadays, without the undesir able features 'of the log fire soot, dirt ana general inconvenience. The decora tive value of these heaters alone has done much to establish them In popular tavor. The temperature of the radia tor surfaces Is comparatively low, which at once eliminates the danger of burn ing and makes such outfits desirable for nursery or playroom. There are no fumes or odors whatsoever given , off by luminous heaters. The convenience is evident for at a snap of the switch heat is produced Instantaneously. The smaller luminous radiators can be connected to ordinary lighting sockets. The larger sties- should have special outlets provided. It must be remem bered that these heaters are not recom mended for general heating during cola to do a soon as this washing's done "No, f,nk you, X can't wait. I will go on. i wm come In at noon.

DO YOU KNOW ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS? Questions asked at the big electric shows in New York and Boston show a wide Interest in electrical things, even though it oes show some degree of unfamlllarlty with this most modern convenience. The publio wants to know whether the electric iron would shock and hurt you if you were careless with It. Can you use the toaster when the lights are ont Can you screw the percolator to the gas fixture, or does it have to be electric? Can you use a heating pad from the electric bells, or do you have to have electrlp light wiring, too? They were heard over and over again at the electric shows, asked by men and wom en who have never seen these things in use, and because they want to know. The electrlo Iron, like any other elec trlo household convenience, is a perfect ly safe article to handle. People use judgment with these things, the same as they do with anything else. Nobody would fill a coal stove to overflowing and leave it to itself. For the same reasons, no one would leave an electric iron connected to the circuit and stand ing nn Anvthlnti whlrh Wmilri Annrnti Ar . . , o Georae W.

Mrs. Seen gave some Interesting Introductory remarks before reading the storv. men. tlonlng the fact that the lesson ui me oeauuiui taie is one of especial appeal and significance Just at this holiday season. The reading Droved interesting that the fancy work with which the members usually busy them selves while listening to the story of the afternoon ' was almost forgotten. In addition- to the reading, several enjoyable musical numbers were given. Mies Gertrude Hoeber gave a violin se lection. Miss Hoeber, Miss Stella Jones and Miss May Ross sang a trio. Miss Florence Westlngard and Miss Melba Westlngard gave a violin and ninnn duet, and Mrs. Alexander O. Riddel! gave vocal numbers. All were much enjoyed and were heartily applauded.

Of course, there should be two different connections one for the light, and one for the toaster. A baseboard receptacle is the most satisfactory for a toaster or an iron or any other of the home appli ances. This allws the lighting sockets to bo used for lighting only. No electrlo appliance (not even a per colator) can be operated by gas. , Electric light wiring is necessary for the operation of an electrlo heating pad or any electric appliance. ' Ah electric bell is usually operated from a battery, although greater dependability. may be obtained by having a "bell ringing trans former" installed, which does away with the battery, and enables the doorbell to be operated from the electric lighting circuit. CHRISTMAS SHOPPER BECOMES CHAMPION Mrs. T. J. Hughes, of Salem, takes the prize for Christmas shopping in her own particular way. She went to the city early on the morning of December 3 with the Intention of doing all of her gift buying before night. " - She called her sister the first thing to obtain what suggestions she could, and, to her dismay, found that her sister had apparently gone back to the blue Mon day regime, for she was busily banging snowy-white clothes to dry. "No," replied tbe sister to her Inoulry, T" don't always wash on Monday, but Just whenever it is convenient, and I know that this is my most convenient time this weefc" Mrs. Hughes rubbed her nose and thought about how every other Wednes day morning she put everything else aside and bravely proceeded to tire her self half to death simply because this was the day for it Leading the way inside, the hostess showed how it was that she could make her plana as she pleased and do her washing in between times. She had an electric washing machine busily at work rubbing -out the last few pieces of her colored clothes. -.-Everything . else - was boiled and rinsed and starched and hung, -just a few minutes, and 111 go uo- town with you; it's Just what I intended illuminated numbers is not expensive and the cost of operating them is almost negligible. . An illuminated sign for this pur pose consists essentially of a box or re cess in the wall, with the side toward the street covered with a transparency upon which is printed the house num ber, Inside, the box is placed an incan descent lamp, which can be burned from dusk to dawn at very slight expense. -A person walking along the street can easily see such a number and thus often avoid inconvenient and embar rassing mistakes.
