THE PRINCESS

Trev.

Life, says the philosopher in a burst of wisdom, is made up of little worries, mostly preventable. Think for instance of the worries in domestic life that can be avoided if we only go the right way about it. Take the most common of all home worries—-the uncertainty of knowing when one will be ready for breakfast or dinner and the consequent annoyance of finding the meal either spoilt or cold. How many people ever realise the ease with which it can be averted? The hot- plate cosy banishes this worry. It is an elegant looking contrivance made of Welbeck silver plate and heated by an atmospheric lamp. In its simplest state it consists of an aluminium plate stood on legs. Below the plate the lamp burns. On the plate the breakfast bacon and eggs can be placed with the knowledge that they will be kept hot. In its complete form the hot-plate cosy adds to itself an oven. The aluminium plate lifts out—in its place slides a circular oven on top of which the aluminium plate fits. In this oven the plates for dinner are inserted to be kept hot for any length of time; on the aluminium slab the dishes are placed similarly to be kept warm. There is no chance therefore of the dinner spoiling. Whatever the delay in the meal the food is always kept warm and as appetising as when first ready for serving. The hot-plate cosy can be purchased from £5 upwards. It is a small price to pay for being insured against the greatest of all domestic worries. The hot-plate cosy can be obtained from the sole makers and patentees, the Alexander Clark Company, Ltd., 125, Fenchurch Street, E.C., and 188, Oxford Street, W.
