The Extra and Narrow Table Leaf Carries the Electric Sockets for the Cooking Apparatus

The usual method of running a wire from a chandelier or wall bracket to a heating device on the dining-room table is inconvenient as well as unsightly.

These are connected to a floor socket, or a line can be run under the carpet or rug.—Contributed by Maurice Baudier, New Orleans, La.
