M drssses are hung in closet or

With a cambric curtain. Long cambria

uniting away dresses, and where there
i room enough, they are excellent,
Mt where there is large family,
rore particularly where there are
children, this plan could not be fol-
,oxed successfully. Where a woman
has a roomy house, she has very little
trouble in deciding where the clothes
,bsll be laid away, but where she is
eramped for room, it is hard to decide
what shall be done with them. Some
women, who was boarding, and was con-
f,outed with this same problem, had a
long, narrow pine box made with hinges
stthe top, so it would open like trunk.
This she lined with white cambria,
| and covered the outside with cretonne,
first putting cushion on the top. In
this box she put her supernuous cloth
Ing. Her winter garments were placed
init In the summer, and her summer
clothing in winter. When closed it
made pretty divan, and with casters

the room. A soap box, covered in the
same manner, answered the purpose

All garments needing repairs should
be mended, II possible, before putting

mostly very convenient and tempting
bplace them away just as they are,
trusting to mend them early enough in
The spring Usually there is so much
Hdo at the latter season that the re-
pairing OF summer clothing is wholly
forgotten, and only remembered when
wanted for use. There are few things
sdiscourging to housewife as pile
Of summer clothes waiting repairs
when her time is required for other
work, consequently, If the summer
nendlng is done ere putting away, it
Will not have to be done after the
spring cleaning, when the housewife is
exhausted in body and mind.
