HEN Lattimer Nyse, the 'attic, stopped in the hall to talk to’ Carol Deming, first floor, and instructor in piane, Sally Soomes halt- ed on the stairway hugging herself in delight. Sally was the “lady of all work” in the rooming establishment of Mrs. Byron Driscoll and Sally’s pleas- ure was the pursuit of romance. Thereafter when she swept the stu- $.0.9.90.9.9.00000 dio of the musician she made refer- | ence to artists and to the splendid | pictures she saw when she worked in the room up under the skylights. “You wouldn't believe it ma'am, she said, “but that Mr. Lattimer can just talk with a paintbrush. That's what it is. He makes the darlingest little cupids you ever saw, and when he has a cow standing down by the water it’s so real and artistic with the re- | flection and all that you can turn it upside down without knowing the dif- ference.” She looked at the young woman to note the effect and went on. “And, yes ma’am, there's one picture of two old gentlemen playing cards, -and you just know pretty soon one is | ‘going to cheat. I just know some day ‘I'm going to tip the other off.” And in Lattimer’s room the priv- | .ileged Sally talked of music, of a girl who was so kind to *“e children who ‘came for lessons. _ “To see her with those kids, now,” she said, “would make you just de- clare she should have some of her ‘own. And the way she can play the piano. Really, there her own. And the way she can play the piano. Really there ain’t none of those ‘mechanical ones, no matter how much they cost, can do a bit bet- ter”? As the friendship between attic and first floor increased, Sally's heart sang with the joy of match-making. all her doing, and she knew it. “I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they might be bridesmaid or matron of hon- or, or something.” When a misunderstanding arose, that ended the meetings in the hall, the little walks on Sunday afternoons and the occasional visits to the the- ater, there were three sad persons in .the rooming house and Sally seemed the saddest. When she tried to talk of Lattimer in the studio of the pian- ist, she was silenced, and not once did she dare mention the musician in the presence of Lattimer’s forbidding look. “Look at that now,” she said, glanc- ing over Lattimer’s shoulder as he sketched idly with a pencil. “If that wouldn't make a splendid valentine for me to give to my—well, to somebody.” Sally blushed as if caught in a secret. Lattimer finished the sketch hastily and gave it to her. “It’s yours. Send if off to the happy man. Far.be it from me to stand in ‘the way of the course of true love,” “My,” Sally was happy. “And it’s hand-made, too. You know, I like the hand-made pictures every bit as well And she hurried out carrying her treasure close to her breast. On Valentine's morning Carol Dem- ing received a penciled sketch which carried no greeting and was without signature. For a moment she was puzzled, then with the pictured Cupid to remind her, remembered the day. “He drew it, of course,” she said. “No one else I know could draw like that. And he remembered Valentine's day and is just old-fashioned and dear enough to remember me. I am going right out and buy him a regular heart and lace valentine and send it up by Sally.” s Sally did not wait for the elevator when she got the missive. She all but flew through the halls and up the flights. On tiptoe she approached the artist's room and, foHowing the in- struction of Carol, slipped the envel- ope under the door. There was no time wasted after its receipt. Lattimer, happy and a little breathless, knocked on Carol’s door. “You are wonderful to remember Valentine’s day,” he said quite as if she were the first girl ever to take ad- vantage of the day. “And I am so glad you did.” “And you,” said Carol, holding out his sketch, “did you think I could not guess whom it was from?” He looked at it a moment in aston- ishment, then grinned. “Say,” he said, “when we get mar- ried, let's ask Sally. It's just a wild idea of mine that it will give her a lot of pleasure.” Old Saying Harold Buress had the gang out to his home on Bevesly drive to play a little poker in celebration of Hoover winning the Presidential pot. Among the guests was a newcomer who hadn’t seen Harold for some time. “I thought you were in college,” he ex- claimed. “I was, for two years,” Harold ex- plained, “and then I had .to go to work.” “Oh, well,” consoled the other, “half a loaf is better than none.”—Los An- geles Times. Early Lighthouses The bureau of lighthouses says that the first lighthouse built in America may have been some Spanish aid, of which that office has no record. The first lighthouse to be built within the confines of the United States is that known as “Boston lighthouse, Mass,” established September 14, 1716. SORT RRR RRR RRR ® | artist in | ain't none of!

Two kinds of wax can be used: melted and soft. Fight Celery Blights—Spray celery plants with a 4-4-50 bordeaux mix- ture to save them from bacterial and fungus blights. Apply with 300 pounds pressure at intervals of 7 to 10 days. Use Clean Litter—Planer shavings give very satisfactory results when used for litter in voultry houses. Cut alfalfa, cut clover, or cut straw also give good results when used as litter. Spray Apple Aphis—Use lime-sul- phur and nicotine-sulphate to control the apple aphis. Spray when the buds are in the delayed dormant condition, say Penn State entomolo- gists. Improve Garden Soil—If your home garden is comvosed of a heavy stiff soil that has a tendency to become hard and form a crust after rains, it can be improved by turning under manure or any other vegetable mat- ter. Coal ashes also are good but they add mo fertility. Ten pounds of lime per square rod will improve the soil physically and aid in producing better crops. Save Oats from Smut—An expendi- ture of 2 or 3 cents for formaldehyde and about three minutes of time per acre will prevent oat loss from smut attacks. The average loss in "un- treated oats is two bushels per acre. Rake off Mulch—After all danger of late frost is passed, rake off the coarser material used in mulching shrubs and flowers and stir the finer material into the soil. A top dress- ing of bone meal will also prove be- neficial. ADVISES EATING ORANGES FOR HEALTH Senator Royal S. Copeland was a practicing physician before he became health commissioner of New York City, and United States Senator from the Empire State. Although he has not been active in his profession for many years it is doubtful whether there is a man in public life who has consistently devoted more attention to writing and talking about health matters than the New York states- man. In his newspaper articles, and health talks over the big radio hook- ups several times a week, Senator Copeland has been advising the pub- lic to cultivate an orange juice diet. The broadcasting of his advice has no doubt had considerable influence in increasing the demand for orange juices in hospitals, and in the home. California seems to have the center of the stage in the National Capital these days—as well as elsewhere, and the sons and the daughters of the Golden West who have been in the East have been volunteer mis- Modern Marshmallows 3 Ba ND ANS) fw ~~ ERSHAALL AN ITs HEN you look at it, doesn’t marshmallow seem a queer ~_ name for so dainty and de- licious a confection? Yet the * candy got its name legitimately from a tall, erect plant, cousin to the holly-hock, and native to both Europe and Asia, which grows most freely in marshes near the sea. A decoction of the roots and other parts affords a mucilage whicn was formerly used in making the candy, marshmallows. In Air-Tight Tins Modern marshmallows are made, of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin and can be bought in air-tight cans which keep them absolutely fresh. They combine well with other sweets such as fruits and certain vegetables, to make most tooth- some dishes, as you will presently see. Here are some recipes which = 2 5 BAO) Nos Ginger Delight: Cut thirty marsh- mallows into quarters and arrange in the bottom of a mold. Sprinkle with two tablespoons of chopped, preserved ginger.

Serve with a garnish of one cup shredded pineapple and whipped cream. Pear Salad: Arrange the pears from a can on crisp lettuce and place a whole marshmallow in each cavity.

Snow Slides and ’Splosives As Winter memories fade away in- to Spring a story of snow slides and marooned inhabitants and the skill- ful efforts qf explosive engineers, reaches Washington. The account relates that snow barriers were dis- tributed for a distance of about 13 miles along the tracks of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad be- tween Durango and Silverton, Colo- rado. The 22 snow slides ranged in length from 30 feet to 450 feet and were from 30 feet to 75 feet high. Kegs of black blasting vowder were loaded into “pockets” that radiated from pits of from four to 12 feet deep which were dug in the snow. As many a$ 12 kegs were loaded ina single pocket. The series of blasts loosened the packed and frozen ‘snow to a degree that permitted its remov- al by steam ditching machines and gangs of men with shovels, thus fur- nishing prompt relief for the maroon- ed Coloradoans. : : SUBSCRIBE FOB COMMERCIAL afi tahfat fet Ls I) [1] Or Chatitatiitat fat Hema eam HINK of your printed matter from the standpoint of what it does for you.
