Dainty Clothcspresscs.

The dainty housekeeper is certainly
known by the conditio OF her clothes
presses. The woman who allows these
places to become clutter holes. where
material very much ''out of place" is
tossed for the time without order or
care, Is certainly n sloven. The mod.
ern clothes closet is marvel of utiit-.
1t Is no longer a close, ill-ventilated
place, where damp garments may be
hung and accumulate the germs of dis
ease and foster the insidious moth in
the darkness The modern clothes
closet usually has window. or the
door to 1t opens near n window, so
that the entire interior of the room is
well lighted when the door Is opened,
and 1T is also ventilated. The old
fashioned clothes closet, with long
recesses that the air and light could
not reach, was an unwholesome place.
Ii Is also n mistake to crowd clothing
zoo closely into any closet. 1t not
only wrinkles the garments, but pre-
vents the air from reaching them. and
1t is always important that any gar
ment that has been worn should he
aired properly
Most modern closets are built with
low base shelf raised about three or
four inches from the floor. This shelf
IS convenient place to deposit band
boxes or shoes that are not kept in
shoe bags The best wall finish for
all closets is painted plaster. 1t may
lie wiped clean with damp cloth
clipped in benzine if there is any sign
of carpet or clothes moths. 1t leaves
20 crevlces, like n papered wall, for
moths to Turk in. 1t is better than n
ceiled wall for the same reason Let
the Dashboard be nailed tight and
firmly to the plaster, so that no GREY
ice is possible. The best floor for
closets Is one of hardwood, oiled or
waXed, rs it can he wiped oil with n
damp cloth to remove dust.
No neat housekeeper ever sweeps
out closet. Some sachet of delicate.
ly perfumed powder is hung among
the clothes. This diifuscs a delicate
fragrance of violet, lavender, hello
rope or whatever perfume is chosen
A simple sachet may he made of a lit
lie fine cotton sprinkled with an ounce
If lavender flowers and tied in a ball
about five or six inches in diameter.
Put this in dainty crimped tissue
paper of some delicate color. Tie the
paper to form a full frill ut the top of
the ball and suspend it in the closet
from the ceiling, if possible, with n
ribbon the color of the paper. The
powder or perfumed flower must he
occasionally renewed.
Where n closet is built with shelves
for storing bedding or with drawers
for underwear, lay flat sachets of
cheesecloth perfumed with lavender
flowers on the shelves and in the
drawers. The drawers where under
wear is laid are sometimes lined with
sachets perfumed with violet or any
other powder preferred New York
