BANISH oDoRS FROM ICE BOX
Simple Precautions VIII Keep Food
Placed In Refrigerator Always
Dainty and Palatabie.

II was a friendly grocery clerk who
suggested a remedy for the possible
odor in an Ice box affecting prints
OF butter. 1t so happened that the pur-
chaser had only an ice chest OF rather
contracted proportions in which to
keep her provisions, and in order
to delay the melting Of the Ice (partly
owing to a piece Of the valve having
come off) she used heavy brown paper
to keep the chilly block from touching
the sides of the box. So far, the idea
worked well, but 1t Is hard to find pa
per that will be absolutely without
refrigerator smell" when the con-
tact with the ice has made It damp.
or a time this did not matter, as the
milk was in closed bottles and the but
ter she was used to buying came In
sanitary waXed pasteboard boxes. But
when she was no longer able to get
that brand and had to take ordinary
one pound prints, without other pro-
lection than waxed paper, the grocery
boy met her objections by suggesting
the use Of the oblong tin boxes IN
which half pounds Of American teas
are packed. They are good teas, too,
but she did not even have to purchase
item, as he offered to save her a box,
and into 1t the pound print fitted with
Just the little margin to spare that
would make 1t easy to slide the butter
out when wanted. Since then she has
also learned that good lump Of char
ccal in the corner of the ice box helps
to keep the air In 1t sweet-Quite as
much as 1t keeps fresh and odorless

placed in vases or other receptacles.

The sun sIanted lower until long,

still she had not moved. From the

she was stopping came the warning

At the table Lila found herself ac-

From her perch in the old apple
tree Lila Moore looked down the
orchards dappled vistas. 1t was very
quiet and sleepy there in the summer
afternoon and the lids dropped over
her dark blue eyes and the book
half slipped from her fingers. Her
bright hair against the sober brown
OF the tree trunk made a fash Of
golden color.
When she opened her eyes again
1t was to gaze incredulously and then
with growing indignation at hat
less young man sitting before an
easel and undoubtedly painting her
picture.
Lila coughed.
The painter looked up and slightly
frowned. "If you could hold that
position another Instant" he pleaded.
You have no right to paint me
without permission" protested Lila
Indignantly.
Il could not ask permission with
out awaking you," he said mildly.
i was not really asleep.
But 1t would have spoiled the pic
ture II you had stirred-the light on
those leaves is perfect" He gazed at
the heavy branch beyond her where
the sunlight struck warmly through
the pale green leaves.
Miss Moore's instinct was to de-
scend from the tree at once, but on
second thought she decided not to
spoil a perfectly good picture by
changing her attitude.
She wished that she knew more
about art so that she could talk to
the painter, who was strangely alb
sorbed in his work. He was a slen-
derly built youth with a dark, keen
face and bright black eyes. Lila was
not surprised that his clothes were
shabby, and she had no doubt that
he was poor. Perhaps this picture
would bring him fame and fortune.
Il wonder what he will call II" she
soliloquized. "Perhaps-'Girl in the
Apple Tree or something like that"
It's very good of you to favor me
In this manner" said the artist at
last as he gathered his pencils and
clattered them into the box beside
him. THE instant saw the sunlight

Here's what you're looking for,
Wilbur"

shrieked Lila.
He nodded.
Would you like to see the thing?"
"of course" said Lila rather crisp
ly, "one cannot help but feel little
curiosity concerning ones own pic
ture."
The youth looked rather discon-
certed at this remark, bat he stepped
forward to give the fair model help
ing hand. But Lila needed no assist
ance. She sprang lightly to the turf
and hastened to the easel.
She swept one glance at the strong
pencil drawing and stared for one in
credulous instant at the artist, then
with haughtily lifted nose she flashed
about and disappeared among the
trees.
The artist gazed ruefully at his
drawing of the apple trees, with the
girl sitting in an attitude Of careless
repose. He had produced a wonder.

his pencil, and the little buckled
shoes braced against the tree trunk
