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

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

pleasant and instructive meeting Wed
nesday afternoon at the home of Mrs
C. M. Hoeber, 351 East Forty-first
street, with 35 in ' attendance. m
Helen Miller Benn read "The Tenter
Sword." by Annie Fellows Johnson. 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.
At the conclusion of the afternoon the
hostess served chocolate and cakes.

satisfaction when the lights are on. 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-

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. " ' 1
