                               OPEN DOOR
THE CABINET The modern housekeeper will be interested in some of the modern
GLENWOOD            improvements adopted by the manufacturers of the Cabinet
Glen-
AGAIN              wood Ranges, as well as in the fact that this modern range
is
                    "built on lines of elegant simplicity."
     Having in mind that in many kitchens available space is so limited that
either
the hearth or end shelf of the ordinary range often comes in the way of the
door or par-
tition wall, the construction of the Glenwood has been so arranged that the
ash pan,
boiler door, grate, and in fact every part is accessible from the front.
By doing away
with both the overhanging hearth and end shelf in this way the range is made
very
compact without reducing the capacity. Each part can be replaced without
disturbing
other parts and the oven bottom is so divided that either half can be removed
at any
time. The square shape of the oven makes it very roomy and the Illuminized
Oven
Shelf can be adjusted at several different heights. Another practical feature
is that the
grate can be drawn out from beneath the linings without their being disturbed
so that
an old grate can be replaced and so keep in use the old linings. When furnished
with
the Glenwood oven heat indicator the exact heat in the oven is shown and
tells when
baking when to open or close the draughts, the right temperature being indicated
for
different articles. A little study of the Weir Company's catalogue will show
many
other practical advantages which will commend themselves to the good housekeeper.
DUTTON'S This beautifully illustrated series, issued by E. P. Dutton &
Company,
TRAVEL          New York, offers a charming selection of really valuable
and inter-
SERIES          esting sketches of foreign travel and study, and especially
suitable for
                Christmas gifts. They are works of standard value, gotten
up with
all possible attractiveness, including full page illustrations in color admirably
supple-
menting the text, which is of more than ordinary merit in intelligent comment
upon the
countries and the people concerned. The "Told to the Children"
series, to which
attention was called in the last Open Door, will be found very useful in
deciding what
to select for the younger members of the household. The high standing of
this house
and standard character of their publications make it always safe to order
by mail with
the assurance that every representation will be strictly fulfilled.
