know how tn find ht,mec In tbo bollou,s
of upholstered walls and tbe sweenine
and mopping of attic floors is twice as
hard when the boards are loosely laid.
Put the trunks on enc side. boxes in
another, etc. Let the arrangement of
things be permanent and it win be easy
TO find any desired article.
Each trunk should have its key tied
to it. Whoever has taken part in the
tragedy of the trunk, the waiting ex-
pressman and the missing key, will know
how to appreciate that precaution- If
a leather strap or canvas cover goes with
the trunk lay them away inside.
II chairs. upholstered in wooden stuffs,
are put away, it is a wise precaution
10 cover them tightly with muslin. In
the attic should be the tools used for
domestic carpentry-except the hammer
ana tacks' which are employed so con-
stantiy that they should be kept down
STA r. Empty spice boxes, Labeled, make
eNceiieHt recepsaeles for screws, bolts,
dsais ana buttons. Pasteboerd boxes
Ho4u extra casters, rolls of wire, bits of
~sanapaper' etc These should be kept
IN one wooden box, ready to he carried
"nsre repair is needed.
If in a freshly whitewashed closet it
is necessary to hang dark clothing. tack
against the wall an old piece of sneeting
or calco as a protection for the clothes
against the lime. which would otherwise
rub on them. The cleat upon which the
hooks are screwed should be about four
and a half or FIVE feet from the 7ooc
and your closet shelf about three inches
above the cleat. This is a convenient Dis
lance and prevents reaching and strain
ing when things are to be nut on or off
the shelf. The capacity of a closet is in
creased by screwing to the undersida of
the shelf a row of double hooks. shaned
/ Ike the letter T. Another excellent n1an
is to run a rod across the closet length
wise, and then fasten to this a number
of movable hooks of galvanized wire
These hooks are excellent. as the cloth
ing can be hung loosely ON them and thew
can be pushed along the rod to make
room. in the same way that clotbing
stores arrange dresses and coats. The
yckes. which MANY clothing houses send
along with coats and wraps. are the best
things for keeping cloaks and wrans In
shape. Any housekeeper can make her
self a supply of these by taking pieces
of barrel hoops. about ten or twelve
inches long, and winding about them
pieces of old cambria or muslin.
Woollen will not serve. as it invites the
attention of moths. Suspend the yokes
by a loop made at the centre with stout
cord, wire or cloth.
Closet floors need special attention
Wide cracks in them collect dust and
lint or afford Judgment to moth and other
troublesome insects. These should be
carefully filled with putty or plaster of
par;s. A good substitute for these is
newspaper shredded finely and made into
a paste with gum tragacanth or a little
The constant battle between woman and
the devouring insect which destroys her
