For years the electrical appliance manufacturers and the public utilities have been trying to "educate the public Into cooking right at the table, and this trend is more plainly to be seen this year than ever. There are chrome-plateovens that plug into any outlet, electric tea ketLles with trigger spouts, and all sorts of new gadgets for table use. One of the most practical Is a device which keeps dishes warm, without over heating them, until they are ready to be served ; one variation of this Idea will also keep cold dishes cold in hot weather. There are toasters now which ring hells, light signal lights and In other ways warn you that the toast Is ready; they do everything hut scrape the toast To use In cooking right on the range are some more articulate affairs. There Is a tea kettle which sings when the water bolls. And an egg cooker (they say eggs should be cooked, not boiled boiling makes them tough) with a baby chick sitting on top of It; the chick peeps when the eggs are ready. Manufacturers of cooking ranges have discovered that when all the burners are located In a square on one side of the range the housewife has to reach over a front burner to attend to anything on a rear burner. So the 1936 range will have two burners on each side, with a table top In between, or four burners at the back of the range, with the table top In front. Streamlining has reached even electric Irons. And this year they will have several graduations of heat, as before, but Instead of being marked Hot, Medium and Warm, these graduations will be plainly marked with the kind of materials for which they are used; Linens, Woolens, Silks, etc. Streamlining Is by no means the. only feature the 1936 vacuum cleaner has borrowed from the automobile.

There are other Innovations, too numerous to catalogue here, awaiting the 1936 homemaker. Among them are card tables that wrnnt tip if a 200 pounder stands right on the edge of them; washing machines with wringers through which It Is safe to run a watch (not MY watch, thank you); an electric percolator with a dial device for weak, medium or strong coffee; a frying pan guaranted not to burn or scorch food, and a cooker In which you can cook onions, chocolate pudding, cauliflower, chicken and last nights potatoes, all at once, without having any of the tastes or odors mixed.
