THE CLOSET.

Where closet room is at premium
and what woman in these days OF
Cramped houses and elaborate ward
robes ever has enough closet room?-it
is a good plan to have pole arranged
in the clothes closet, right down the
centre, the ends resting in sockets, this
same as used for curtain poles. If the
closet be OF any length whatever a
number of dresses. coats. waists and
skirts may be supported on this pole
by means OF coat hangers. If the ordi-
nary style of hanger is used a separate
one is required for each waist and
skirt. but there are improved types
which easily accommodate both skirt
and waist. In such a closet it is easy
to keep the clothes in good condition
and also an easy manner 20 find any
