It you were miked the qualities you desire In a refrigerator for your home I'm sure you wodld list them about as follows: Adjustable setting for quick frees lng. Automatic control. Easy to keep clean. Safety. Economy In current consumption. Convenience In arrangement ana apace. Quietness In operation. Neatness In outside appearance. . These requirements have all been anticipated In designing the modern a i e c i r ic reingu rator. In fact many of the features have been Incorpo rated In direct re sponse to the de sires expressed by .American houae i wives throughout line country. I Of course. In or- Iriar to enlov the Isreatest efficiency 'In your refrigerator there are a few tistellu Dorgun. rules you should observe. These are the thoughts we hall consider today so that the com ing warm weather may find you get ting a great deal ol pleasure ana ser vice from your electric refrigerator. Defrosting should not be neglected because the unit which I heavily frosted Is not efficient. It 1 work ing against the blanket of frost which corresponds to the coat of anow which keeps the ground warm In winter. . Naturally, this condition call for more current, ao the machine Is forced to be extravagant in lt effort to maintain the desired temperature. A quick and simple way to defrost the machine Is to set a pan of very hot water In the freezing compartment. Turn the switch to the "off" posi tion during the defrosting time and be sure that the tray la placed di rectly under the freezer to catch the moisture. When completely defrosted, wipe the freezing compartment with a solution of soda and water and re turn the traya filled with clean water. Turn the awltch to "on" and the ma chine la ready for efficient operation. Crowding or materials on the shelves Is a very common mistake. This cute off the circulation of air and Interferes with the cooling pro cess. Just a little space should be . left around each article to allow the cool air to pass over It and on to the top to be re-chilled. Transparent baga are good used as food containers since they are lnaxpenaive ana provme excellent protection for the food while allowing It to be In plain alght for quick service. Generally, bananas should not be stored In the refrigerator. The cold temperature stops the ripening of the fruit which Is usually green (yel low) when purchased and a cold, green banana Is anything but fla vorful or desirable aa food. Vege tables, of course, should be cleaned and trimmed for actual use before being placed In the cabinet. The ex cess bulk would only take up valu able apaos. The newer method of freezing smooth Ices Is to freeze the founda tion to a mush consistency, then add the chilled fruit, boaten egg whites or wnippea cream, comDirung mor Table Ensemble Now Includes Matching China, Silver, Glass and remaining lemon Julca and chill.

There's No Monotonous Effect Here By MAROEBY TAYLOR Copyright, 1933, by the Mo Call Company for The Mall Tribune Matching silver and china Is by no means an old Idea, yet along comes fashion with the further edict that the effect is not exactly right with out glassware in the same design. Nor Is the effect monotonous, for there Is an infinite number of ways in which the design may be varied as applied to the three uses. For iiuormni tames cmna witn a little nosegay In the center Is ex cellent, and practical, because It will go with almost any color scheme. More elaborately, the same Idea Is worked out entirely In silver luster, In which the glassware has a flared shape like the chalice of a flower. Silver, with a touch of blue, la veiy good. The goblets in this ensemble have blue stems that are striking cgalnst creamy lace or white linen covers. Blue Is, by the way. again In high esteem, and Is used for walls. draperies and trimmings as well an table decoration. A good combination for those who wisn to include mue in tne acneme of things would be to combine It with white and crystal, the result of which is an air of restiulne&s and ease. oughly. The Ice cream or sherbet will finish freezing without further stir ring and will have a delightfully smooth texture.. It Is well to remember that cream should be beaten only to a custard, not too stiff. This will avoid a grainy texture and a "fatty" taste. Granu lated sugar is much better added In syrup form, that Is dissolved or cooked. If raw sugar Is used, pow dered sugar Is preferred. Of course, you will use a larger proportion than called for In granulated sugar. A little salt or lemon Juice will always bring out the flavor in frozen foods. The coldest spot In the freezing compartment Is the lowest position. In some cases wotting the bottom of the tray will Increase the speed of freezing. This speed Is desirable for two reasons; quick freezing gives finer texture In ices and, naturally, pro vides quicker service. Since the refrigerator works to keep the Interior dry, as well aa cold, moist foods keep better if covered. This applies to - prepared dishes, as well as fresh products. A sheet of waxed papor spread over prepared salads, meat loaves, gelatine moulds, etc., serves nicely to keep such foods moist and tender for a long time. Placing of material In the cabinet Is usually decided by convenience. However, the fact that the air circu lates downward from the freezing chamber to the bottom of the ma chine, then upward to the top on the opposite side, should guide us In lo cating highly flavored foods or those that give off a decided odor In the machine. They are bes$ placed either very close to the freezing compart ment or at the top position so that tholr flavor or odor Is not transferred to other material. This o o 1 u m n usually contains recipes, so to live up to Its reputa tion, we offer these two new salad suggestions: Cheese and.
