KEEPING FOOD ALWAYS HOT

Modem Improvement Is the Plate Wirmtffto Be installed'in?the Butler’s Pantry. of excluding kitchen qsOiindf ana odors from the living moms has led -to the installation in most houses of a serf ing room or butler’s pantry. This in turn, has created another difficulty .that of keeping a meal hot and without loss of flavor in the interval of preparation and serving. This latter difficulty has, however, been obviated in a number of homes by the use of a hot closet or plate warmer -in the butler’s pantry. There are, various ways of furnishing ‘heat.for this purpose—steam, gas or electricity. Electricity furnishes perhaps the simplest means of attaining this end, as it requires no especial attention beyond the turning on or off of the key of the switch, and is free from odors and external heat. A hot closet can be made useful in a number of ways—to keep savory a delayed luncheon or a bite to be taken before retiring ,and in taking care of babies' or invalids’ food without danger of- its deteriorating.
