, Richmond’s “Bungalow” Cookers are now fitted with an entirely new and improved type of boiling burner. Flames are emitted horizontally from each burner, spreading over the whole bottom of the utensil which stands close to the burner. The contents of kettles, saucepans, etc., boil more quicklv and thus save gas. The hotplate is planned so that each utensil can stand centrally over the boiling burner. Also no one burner is placed immediately behind another. Should anv milk or gr.-asv water boil over, the burners do not become corroded, neither is their efficiency reduced. Gas arid air regulators are fitted, and the correct and hottest type of flame can be readily secured. The patent plate rack (supplied complete with white enamelled wall plate) holds plates vertically so that all are thoroughly warmed. A white enamelled plate is also fitted under the hotplate burners. The cooking oven is “packed” to retain heat and lined with enamelled sheets with rounded corners for easy cleaning. The exterior sides and centre panels of doors are finished in white tiled enamel. Consult the Wellington Gas Company about the stoves,- —Advt.

Few women who load their dress-ing-tables with face creams and general cosmetics ever think .of giving their,skin a holiday or rest cure. They go on year in and vear out rubbing in face cream, having weekly massage, rubbing powder on a number of times a day—London —Paris—Monte Carlo—no matter where they are, off they go to the local hairdresser to have their hair “set’ and a face massage (says ‘'Woman’’). It never seems to occur to them that a couple of weeks’ sojourn in a small fishing village, where -it does not matter what they look like, would do their skin all the good in the - world. -. During this period just' wash the face night and morning with a pure' cleansing cream, and apart from that, forget it! Go out in the air and the sun and get as near Nature ’as possible, and at the end of. a fortnight vour skin will look firm and refreshed—perhaps one or two extra freckles, but who, in these days 'of outdoor. sport and exercise, minds: delightful “kisses from the sun”?
