The most helpful way to reduce

by grouping together the utensils
that belong to process. Racks and
shelves placed near the stove, near

possible this grouping of the uten-

wife may have all the necessary
utensils to make her work easy, but
they may be so poorly arranged that
she can work only half efficiently.
Instead of placing all the same
kind of utensils together in some

they are to be used. Each tool
should have a definite place on a
hook or shelf SO that it may be

He realized with all the force of
his manhood that she was the only
woman for him-that he must win
her.
Why was she so cool. so indiffer-

She was a woman grown. Surely If

Helen was returning from visit

the same characters, style just
then very popular with editors.

opposite side of the street straight
ened a bit as he saw her, hestitated
in his shutting gait, laid an inter-
rogative finger on his chin, then hur-
ried a bit faster, closing the distance
between himself and Helen.
He wore a shabby coat, which only
half concealed a. hall-boy's uniform.
But his black SLOUGH hat, his rusty
shoes, gave no hint as to his call
ing. He had a furtive air. not so
much as if he were afraid of any
thing as that he wanted to discover
something.
No one glanced at him as, walking
rapidly, he crossed the street and
