Il wish something beautiful would
fall on it sometime" Emily spoke
to Miss Blackton.
1t might have seemed to an ordi-
nary onloOker that she was talking
TO herself. But Emily would have
assured the onloOker that he or she
was mistaken. Emily was quite a
different person than Miss Black
ton. she would have told you.
Emily was the shy, beauty-loving
girl who hid behind and within
Miss Blackton, the young person
who had dared TO seek a career,
and what was OF far greater conse-
quence to her, a livelihood, IN New
York. Miss Blackton had come to
New York six months before and
Emily had come with her. They
had taken up their abode in 4
lcloset-like room in the Young Ar
lists club, Emily with her dreams
and Miss Blackton with her determ'-
nation. There was room for a girl,
bed and a drawing table in the
room, but little else.
There was a wee balcony, scarcely
large enough TO stand on, but af-
fording a peep around the corner AT
tantalizing blue bit Of the Hudson.
There was that essential of the ar
lists work and life. a north liSht.
Miss Blackton's accommodated her
soul and body to these restrictions,
\ but occasionally, while she stopped
sketching, Emily grew plaintive.
She had stopped work for a mo-
ment 10 step out upon The balcony,
relax her tired muscles and breathe
deeply the cool air from the river.
Her high arched foot in its blue
\ banded sandal touched something
sharp. She stopped and tossed away
a small weather beaten stick. The
wind blew objects upon the little
/ balcony. which lodged there as

TO appear at the war meals spread
on the general table downstairs or
to eat out" The atmosphere OF
art above the first floor must not be
tainted by the odor of steaming

Emily twisted her graceful neck
to catch the coveted glimpse OF the
Hudson. She repeated her wish.
If something beautiful would
fall on my balcony" she sighed,
then went back into her room and

SHELVES THAT SAVE
TINE AND WORK


Do you know that an ezra shelf
will sometimes save you much time
and work?
So much trotting about in the
kitchen and walking from one room
to another is often due simply TO the
lack of one or more convenient
shelves. We have the habit too
often Of accepting the inconveni-
ences of most household arrange
ments simply because they happen
to have been built that way.
For example, in many Of the city
apartments there is plenty Of shelf
room in the kitchen. but it is built
in the shape Of a large closet, ex-
tending upward TO the ceiling. far
beyond the reach. Shelves that
have TO be climbed to are not con-
venient or really useful shelves. They
are suitable only for storage pur-
poses
The real function OF a shelf is TO
keep the things we need regularly
in convenient form. easily access
ible and within good reach.
Here is the test Of whether your
shelves are giving you the help you
need.
Do you have to walk from your
working surface. like the kitchen
table, 10 a shelf where your tools
are? Can you reach comfortably
TO your shelves, or do you have TO
stand on a ladder OF some sort?
Almost any one can install one
Il.
simple carpenters tools and ready
made equipment
The Best Shelves.
Here are the kind OF shelves which
you will find TO be really labor
savers:
One-Over your kitchen table or
cupboard or whatever you use for
mixing food there should be shelves
containing standard Ingredients
-four, sugar, spices. etc.
Two-Attached TO your kitchen
table there should be a shelf with
hooks on which you can suspend
tools such as the egg beater, mix
ing fork and spoons. measuring
spoons and cups, and on which your
other needed articles can be placed.
Two or three shelves OF this kind
will make IL unnecessary 10 travel
10 various parts Of the kitchen and
search the shelves for needed tools
and ingredients.
When you build shelves do not
make the mistake OF having broad
shelves on which you can stack two
or three rows OF articles You will
find this a great inconvenience. for
ii will mean that when you need an
article and IL happens TO be in the

COMMON WAYS OF WASTING
PATS

To eat fat just to save it, Is as
unwise as It is difficult A small
piece of bread left on a plate can
be eaten 70 save II fom ending its
day IN the garbage can, but fat
IS not so easily and judiciously saved
from waste.
The food administration points out
that ali the many ways or wasting
fat should be thoughtfully avoided
by the housewife.
Do You Waste Fat in Any Of Thee
Ways?
BY serving baked ham with large
portions Of fat on the edge;
BY throwing away fat trimmed
from beef or other fresh meat:
BY serving large butter or mar
garine balls 20 each person;
BY using heavy cream:
BY frying food in deep fat;
BY frying food when IL would bs
as we'll or better 70 bake or stew ID !;
BY making pies or other pastrie I
when simpler desserts would be
more nOurishing.
Think II over, and see that these
sins are wiped of the slate.

down cast eyes. Beneath his arm
was a package which he handed her
with a low bow.
There was no answer he said and
withdrew as speedily as on his first
visit Emily tore open the wrap
pings and gazed in delight at a
Morrison Hinton drawing. The IA
nous signature was written boldly
beneath a figure of a girl In a XII
mono. She stood upon an apparent
" fragile support of delicate rail-
ing. She was craning her neck to-
ward something invisible. Her long
hair blew softly about her face. Her
eyes held the rapt look of the saint
The face was hers. Not Miss Black
tons but Emily's at her best. Emily
indeed as she had never seen her.
Beneath the picture she saw in pen
I'll The Search For Beauty"
When she went out for her morn
ing walk she left little note with
the imposing door man in his purple
and gold livery
My dear Mr. Hinton:
Thank you more times than I
can count for sketching me. 1t is
an honor of which a poor little be-
ginner in art is unworthy. 1 had not
hoped ever TO own a Morrison Hin
ton drawing. And to think that the
subject is myself. Gratefully yours,
Emily Blackton."
Thereafter when she stepped IN
on the balcony she avoided looking
upward. Moreover she was more
conventionally attired, in blouse and
skirt, with a huge course apron COW

One morning as she set out for
downtown, good Mrs. Merrick, the
landlady, happened to be at the
door. Happened also Mr.. Morrison

Mrs. Merrick hastily performed
