WOMAN’S PAGE Prevent Unpleasant Cooking Odors BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Unpleasant odors from cooking Bhould be prevented from permeating & houss.

The prob- lem is how to ellminate the aroma. This matter is simplified when the family lives in a house and compli- cated in apartments, where one room is close to another or where, perhaps, one room serves a duplex purpose. The first idea that comes to mind s to air the rooms. This is the one and only anethod in some cases, especially where the cooking is quickly finished, and the airing may be brief to blow away the odors. Sweet, fresh air can- not tobe equalled as a’ purifier of at- mosphere. But where the smell of the cooking s prolonged, some other way must be found before the final one of opening windows, especlally when the air is frosty and rooms hard to heat, Cabbage Odor. There are few more unpleasant emells from cooking than those which arise from bolling cabbage or cauli- flower. Kortunately this can be pre- vented almost entirely if not quite 0. Put a little saleratus in the boil- ing salted water, and drop the leaves or cut pieces of the cabbage or the flowrets of the cauliffiower into it gradually. Not only will the smell be prevented, but the vegetables will cook In a very short time. The deli- cate green color will not be lost. So the dish will be more attractive as well as odorless. Be sure to have the cover off the kettle during the entire time of cookivg. Odor of Onlons. Onions have a most penetrating smell when cooking, 8o a way to pre- vent this will be welcome.

If fat 1s being extracted from meat, either to use for drippings or for making soaps, it ehould never be allowed to do more than slowly simmer. This may prevent the unpleasant greasy smell entirely; if not, burn the sugar, and air the rooms until the odor has gone, and then lower the flame even more and extract the fat more slow- 1y. Keep Air Fresh. After cooking, air rooms thorough- ly to make the atmosphere fresh and sweet. The added oxygen In the rooms will make them heat quickly again. BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN.

CARROLL MANSFIELD FUL AND INDUSTRIOUS LIFE . HOWEVER, AFTER LIVING 12 Gene Stratton-Porter’s Last and Greatest Novel Only a few days before America’s best beloved author met such a tragic death, she mailed to McCall’s the concluding chapters of her last and greatest novel — ‘“The Keeper of the Bees” —starting in the February issue. Ifit had been given to her to choose her last message to the American public she would have been well content, we believe, to let this great novel stand as her farewell. - It is a magnificent study of the perils and temptations of modern life. To a returned soldier—a crippled victim of the Great War—love comes strangely amid the blackness of his despair. Into his ebbing life fate flings his “storm girl,” radiant and vivid, bringing him love that is stronger than death—and faith that will not yield to despair. This is the last full-length novel by Gene Stratton-Porter that can ever appear in any magazine—such a story as only she could have written. Surely you will want to read her last inspiring message to the readers that she loved so much and served so well Read Also in the February Issue “Love and Nagasqua” By Rupert Hughes A stirring tale of King Philip’s War—a jealous Puritan maid questions her minister lover's interest in the conversion of an Indian girl.
