(In conjunction with the preceding picture, stephanie Combs--nickname, "Nanek"--explains: These war-like women of history had the pleasant habit of removing one breast because it interfered with free use of the shield.) Henry Kuttner gives explicit instructions for establishing an art gal-lery: There is only one effective way of acquring nudes (unless you're a Sultan with a harem) Simply lay your plans well in advance. Wear a large and billowy cloak, and conceal under it a small nude--preferably a midget--who bears some resemblance to the picture. Supply her with a handy make-up kit, a flashlight, and a mirror, When you are asked to examine the canvas, hold it so your midget can also get a glimpse. Working fast under the concealment of the cloak, she can deftly transform herself into a fair likeness of the pictured nude. Then, pointing to the window, you can cry, "Look! Mice!" or something equally startling. While the artist's attention is elsewhere, hastily transfer the canvas to a place under your cloak, while the nude midget, as previously arranged, scampers into the darkest part of the closet and assumes an appropriate pose. When the artist looks back and says, "where in hell is that picture," you can just smile and point to the closet. Seeing the nude, the artist will probably assume that you have replaced the picture. Then go away as fast as possible, leaving the midget to follow at the earliest suitable opportunity. On the other hand, if you have a nude midget, you can open a side-show.
