took on his hat to her when they met.
And then a very strange thing hap

father. died in his big house In far.

him. He had got sort OF crabby when
he grew old. and didn't care about peo-

had embittered his life when he was a
boy b. declining to 60 into his busi-

cut him off with a dollar. Uncle Eus-

How many minutes are lost some
times BY looking for a can or bottle
which has been pushed behind some
thing else on the shelves? Here is a
simple idea which can readily be
adopted: lave made a set of little
steps OF various widths. having the
top step the narrowest. Make them
as far apart as the rest OF your canis-
ters. cereal and spice jars. Then
place the smallest cans on tho top
shelf. the larger cans on the lower
shelf. and 80 on. In this way you
will have only one object occupying
the width OF n shelf. and viii never
have to look behind one thing to find
another.
