VanOrsdel will review "The Cathedral,” by Hugh Walpole. Economy for the Shopper By Mr*. Harlan H. Allen. Selecting a Portable Oven. It Is one problem to buy a porta ble oven If it is to handle all the baking, and quite another problem if you are looking for an accessory oven to be used In connection with the coal or gas range only when the Installed oven is already In use. The first question to answer ia, shall It cover one or two burners on the stove? For heavy baking like bread, and the roasting of meat, one usually needs for "floor” room than can be had In a one-burner oven. Also the two burner oven affords more opportunity for substantial con struction; so it will usually stand up under hard usage better. A third point is that a two-burner oven is more economical of heat. There is not more than once and a half the boxing to keep warm in the larger one, while It haa twice as much fire underneath. The two fires also serve to distribute the heat better throughout the oven, and that is perhaps the weakest point of the unattached oven. As a rule, then, you can't afford to buy a one burner oven for family use, while for purely accessory purposes the single burner may fill the bill exactly, and of course It takes up less room when not in use. Food is more likely to bum on the bottom in a portable oven be cause of the light material used. To offset this, you should select a style with plenty of height so that both shelves may be raised well up from the fire. The temperature at the top of the oven is almost as hot as the bottom, and much more even. That’s why pastry and other things brown prettier up there. The matter of height is very important, especially when you have two shelves or racks full of bread. For this reason, it is best to see thst the baffle bottom and lower rack are two separate pieces. If you want to spread the heat bet ter in a low oven you already own, buy a piece of asbestos board of a size slightly smaller than the baffle plate to lay upon It. This can be purchased of any good store that handles kitchen ware. Tou will need a portable thermome ter wllh an unattached oven even more than with the range. The thin doors do not i lose wllh equal eveness every time, and for other reasons the temperature Is harder to Judge accu ! rately. j For roasting in n portable oven, an [open pan pliould be secured. v To Appear in Song Recital ZZ/ss Marie Sea £ y>V PHOTO C%w'//g Afcer&itrir | The Misses Marie Soat and Cecilia McCreary will l>e presented In song: re cital by Dr. R.
