64. To Pack Music
An excellent place in which to pack away sheets of
music that are not in constant use is a large box fitted with a hinged
cover and upholstered in cretonne, after the manner of shirtwaist boxes so
much in vogue. Such a box is kept in the hallway of a small flat, where
room is at a premium. The music cabinet was full to overflowing and there
was no closet shelf that could be utilized, as so often happens in an
ordinary house. An unused shirtwaist box was suggested and has been found
to answer every purpose, besides providing an extra seat when such a seat
was desirable. The box seems to fit in as an article of furnishing and the
reason for its being there would never be asked.
