who far outshone her in witchery, wit,

only in the widowed pages Of some

1t was through such a crowd that La
Sale and Tonti made their way and

nodded or spoke a few words.

Homemade Clothes Hangez

The appointments of an up-to-date
clothes closet or wardrobe are long
way ahead OF those in the time when a
man hung his coat on a nail or pos
sibly a wooden peg driven into the
wall The first improvement on the
primitive nail was when a woman
saved the wooden spool from her sew
ing cotton and slipped it over the nail
before it was driven, to save her best
gown from a possible tear. Then the
painted iron hooks were made. of
which good proportion broke when
they were being fastened up.
Ingenious people saved small barrel
hoops, cut them in halves, then wound
the sections with strips of cloth, tied a
loop of string TO the middle and slipped
IL over a hook or nail This was the
forerunner of the padded, sacheted
clothes hanger of today and served the
purpose we'll of holding out the should
ers OF a coat or the top of a skirt. The
modern clothes hanger is curved piece
Of wood with a long hook at the top.
II is often covered with a strip OF cot
ton batting wound round II and sprink-
led literally with sachet powder as il
is wound. Over this is shirred a double
length of soft ribbon and a perky bow
is tied at the top TO the hook.
The housekeeper with limited closet
room often envies the convenience of
the shop where a dozen garments on
hangers occupy little space 1t is now
possible 20 buy this arrangement of a
rod to be put across the closet and up
on which several hangers can be
slipped The handy man can make one
at home. Even a broom handle sawed
off the right length and fastened Sc
curely and pieces of cloth-covered bar
rel hoops with their string loops would
be far better than packing one gar
ment on another against the wall as
nine-tenths OF housekeepers are COM
PEELED to do.
