development of a graceful carriage. It is often in-. dicative of character and out look-o much so that during the course of the centuries it has even become identified with human behaviour. A drooping head and shoulders represent defeat and depression. "Chin up" is an expres- sion used when courage, valour and fortitude are to be! encouraged.

A British firm has now found practical solution to this difficulty, even in the case of a double bed. fur It has produced an electrically-heated i blanket of which the gight and left. half can be regulated independently of each other. Each of the (WO switches can be adjustert in four different ways so as to produce low, medium, high hent or, no heat at all.

In order to facilitate' work for the housewife, a London firm has con- structed an electele kitchen old which can be described as an "electrical maid-of-all-work."

The appliance is hung on the kitchen wall and is operated by a motor transmitting power through an insulated wire, six feet long, to “ variety of special attachmentä which. among other things, scrub pots and pans with a rotary brush, clean shoes, brush elathes, knead dough, and i as a stirring appliance and an egg-1 whisk.

The appilance has the advantage, among others, of being shock-proof since,a transformer limits the force of the current to two valts. Thus if at the worst, insulation should break down through constant wear, there is no danger, and the appliance can be i used with sufoty pear water-taps.

In addition, four towel rails are provided for drying hand-towels and kitchen cloths. You really cannot expect more than thle from one ap- pllance.
