chent so much extra has been spent on puddingo, cakes and mincomcat, both in time and money, for the festive season that we must make up for it in other directions.

But not at the expense of the family health, Thero's no need for this when appetising and satisfying dishes can be produced at a smaller cost, often with the help of left-overn in the lander.

The time-saving kettle for the average gas stove or ring or hob is made for rapid boiling. It is entirely of copper, chromium- plated, and boils two quarts of water in three and a half minutes. It is a trifle heavier than the ordinary kettle, but is not easily upset.

A gas heater which can be fitted to the wall heats water in three degrees boiling (for tea-making in 40 seconds), hot, and warm, in different time-limits, varying of course with the quantity of water required at one time.

Until now, water so heated han never been entrusted to tca-making.

Space-saving are the chromium. tea and coffee cosies which "clip around tea and coffee pots. Fell- lined, thene cosies banish the need for the old-fashioned cosy and re- tain the heat must effectively.

MAKING MIRRORS GLEAM

UNLESS a mirror is well groomed and shining, it is neither useful nor decora- tive.

The strategic position of your mirror is certainly im- portant. Its practical capa- city demands that it has a really good light. Of next importance is absolute clean- liness.

To keep the surface bright, dust thoroughly each day, and once a week go over the surface with a leather wrung out of topid water to which has been added just a little methylated spirits.

Newspapers crumpled until they are soft will give a masterly polish.

Grandmother's method to keep her mirrors bright was to polish with a piece of flannel dipped in powdered blue. This method still has polats, as you will find a surface so treated remains bright for a long time.

During a spell of foggy weather mirrors often look cloudy and dull. Forestall them by this simple treat- ment. Wring a cloth out in warm water, sprinkle it with glycerine and then apply it gently to the surface of the mirror. The glycerine forms a fine film over the glass which keeps it unbelievably bright and clear. Cleaning the Corners

When cleaning a mirror, watch the cornera. A sensible idea is to use a meat skewer. Wrap the point in a piece of cotton wool and poke out the dust from the corners.

Mirrors are temperamental. Be careful where you place them. They loathe damp, and suspended damp wall for. Instance, they will most certainly spoil. But this 'dan- ger can be averted by fixing a piece of cork to the bottom of the frame at the back, large enough to prevent the mirror actually touching the wall.

on

If you find that the mirror in your spare room has become stained and smeared through being allowed to lead its own carefree existence, treat it like this:Make it a "face pack" of fine whitening and methylated spirits, apply with a soft rag

and rub When it is

quite dry, wipe well in. it off with a duster, and polish brisk- ly. Spirit of wine is also effective in dealing with very obstinate marks. Sponge the mirror with this and then domp sprinkle the

surface with French chalk Wipe off, and give a final polish. The result will be. gratifying.

For the Frames

Mirror frames must ba trented very gently. A cut lemon is useful for cleaning a mirror which has a gilt frame. Rub this over and then sponge the frame with water to which a tablespoonful of baking soda has been added to each pint of water. Rub of gently with a soft cloth and polish with a chamols leather..

White enamel frames__should be. washed in warm soapy water, only do not make them too wet. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully,

Lacquered frames which have lost their gloss will respond to a clean-- ing with warm water and a little lemon Juice, and then a good rub- bing with a clean flannel. Dry in a warm place and finally polish with a soft leather.
