some delicate color; it is gathered and
glued to a strip of pasteboard seven

any small flower.
The question of space is one that re-
Quires considerable thought. OF course,
when there is plenty of space and plenty
OF money, there can be wardrobes galore,
with hooks. shelves and drawers. where
each article can a a place for itself.
Where both economy of space and money
have to be exercised the problem is more
difficult. Within the last two or three
years some clever devices rave come into
use by which the capacity of hanging
closets can be doubled, says 'Rarper's
Bazar."
If the depth Of the wardrobe be great
e enough to allow of them, two curtain
poles in sockets are fastened at a height
which will allow a long skirt to clear the
ground. On these poles are put the wire
frames used to hang coats on, and it is
surprising how many skirts can be dis
posed of, arranged side by side. but suf-
foiently far apart to give each skirt
plenty of room.
Above these two curtain poles are two
others, a yard higher up, for the waists,
over which are also put the wire or wood
er frames. But these are differently ar
ranged, for it would of course be impos-
siole to reach SO high. All along the poles
at regular intervals. are put eyes, through
which runs a cord that is also fastened
to the knob of the frame, and then, in pull
lev fashion, the frames can be lowered or
hoisted as desired. Keeping skirts and
waists thus spread out is a great help to-
wards always having them fresh. A pad
ding of some soft material can be put ov-
er the frames, and a small sachet put
therein to give a faint perfume, only it
must be very faint. Tissue-paper insert
ed in the sleeves will keep them in shape,
ard if there is danger of dust, a covering
of cheese-cloth can be put over the waists.
