girls have TO contend with
especially when they are at
boarding school, is how to Sc
cure enough closet room and other
storage spaces for putting away their
possessions so that they viii be kept in
good order and viii at the same time
not be too difficult to get at when
needed.
IN houses and apartments in large
cities also there is frequently too little
space IN the bedroom which has been
allotted to the girl OF the family for
her to find the disposal Of her personal
belongings an easy matter. The clos
cts are small and there is no place for
an additional wardrobe In despair the
girl who is TO occupy the room sees her
luggage unpacl1ed. There seems abso-
lutely no place for her dainty gowns
where they viii not be numerically
crushed.
She regards her several hats, when
befors she had thought all too few.
with disapproving eye and almost
resolves that she viii give them all
away and buy a comfortable folding
Tam O. Shanter Her boots and slip
pers are ranged along the wall in an
obtrusive row. The accessories TO her
costuming-gloves wells, collars and
handkerchiefs-seem impOssibly numer-
Gus. Usually at this stage the girl sits
on the floor plunged in despair for
moment or two. then. if she be SEN
sible young person, she sets about in
venting skillful methods of slowing
things away.
There are two good fairies ready to
come TO her aid in this matter. and 1t
is perfectly wonderful how they can
help out Their names are box and
bag and their possibilities are endless.
Girls who have tried ii say that IL

y NE of the first things TO consider is
a large box to go under the bed, in
which dancing frocks and other
best gowns may be kept There is
something untidy about thrusting ordi-
nary boxes under the bed, but the dain-
tiest girl Will find box made for the
purpose admirable for fine gowns. This
box may be nearly as long and as wide
as the bed. It is of light wood. fitted
with casters and has a lid which is cut
down the middle and hinged at both
sides, so that it opens in the middle.
which is more convenient than at one
side. The box may be stained TO match
the woodwork of the room or the floor,
or it may be covered with enamel paint
in a harmonious color. The lid should
fit closely, so that the dust will not get
in. The box is padded with cotton on
the inside and lined with white cheese
cloth. or IT may be lined with fowered
paper. 1T is best not to have it covered
with chintz or denim on the outside. as
this gathers dust
In this box the gowns may be laid
full length, with tissue paper between
and several layers of tissue paper and
perhaps a cheesecloth covering over
the top. A paddock may be put on IL
desired. The use of several sachets in
envelopes or bags is considered better
for scenting the box than to have the
lining scented. because then the sachet
may more easily be kept fresh.
Any carpenter will make such box
at a moderate cost and it is an easy
matter to line it, using tiny tacks to
fasten the edges.
After the fine frocks have been dis
posed Of it is well to consider the
hats. which are really matter of much
concern when closet space is not ample.
Here again the box comes to the rescue
and may be utilized IN several forms
II the room is large enough to AFFORD
the space a very simple way is to have
a stand made into which hat boxes
The San Francisco call., 1909-10-03

may be slipped The stand consists
merely of four uprishts of enameled or
stained wood connected by horizontal
strips of wood placed at equal spaces
apart. These horizontal strips are
fastened inside the uprIghts and are
wide enough to form the resting place
of the hat boxes.
