EXTENDING THE CLOSET ROOM
Good Plan by Which Space May Be Made When the Compartment
 Is Small.

If one Is short of closet room very good plan is To hang skirts sideways in the closet instead of hanging skirts, frocks and coats all flat against the back wall of the closet. Froeks may also be hung sideways. leaving only the coats To be stretched on hangers and suspended from the back wall of the closet In order to hang garments sideways il is necessary to have a E shelf across the top ot the closet and \ to screw small hooks on the under | side Of this shelf. The hooks are Zarranged in pairs along the under side of the shell. each pair of hooks be- Hing meant for single skirt or frock. 1.-TWO loops of braid are sewed in each #skirt band and two in each frock at kthe waist line one loop being hung Ion each hook The garments are much Emore easily gotten at in this way than Kwhen they are hung one over another Eat the back of the closet This meth zod of hanging also permits the gar Ements to hang perfectly straight, and *makes 1t possible to store large &quantify ai clothes in one closet.

MADE HER OWN CHATEUAlNE
Good Use of Silver Ornaments by Girl Who Was Possessed of
 Originality.

Arranging some of her silver or naments to be especially useful is the work of a girl who has just gone into mourning and does not wish to buy a nice black purse bag. Considering that silver was permissible with black in which there was no crepe. she evolved a chatelaine, using an oxidized silver chain on which to string them.
 The chain was one that had been used for keys by the departed rela- tive, and, in order that the cable 1t represented should be formed into a hook. the girl removed the original fast. ening and substituted a small silver slip ring. through which each end of the chain passed. Then it remained only for her to put on a silver card case. which depends from a short chain of it's own; a silver coin purse, tiny box of the same metal, in which she carries a powder puff, and silver backed ivory memorandum tablet
 In her card case she keeps such of her money as is in bills, the coins, of course. going into the tiny purse. When she wishes to have the case for it's original purpose, in the after noon. she has only to open the slip ring and off comes the short chain,

Be Practical.

One of the first requisites for the sewing room is a long counter on which to cut. and that household which is not overburdened with tables should count itself lucky. Here lies the chance to supply long plain wooden counter for the family cutter.
 All work in the sewing room, wheth CT it be that of the merest amateur or the heavy professional, is rendered far more rapid and accurate if the material be not allowed to slip from the table every few moments.
 Men do not work without proper implements: yet it would seem a com mon habit with cfen the most sys tematic women to "scrImp along some how" Don't do it.

There Is way of broiling that is called pan broiling." which is em- ployed where there are no coals, as in cooking with gas, gasoline or an oil stove, or by electricity. It Is done on a griddle or in a frying pan, which Is heated hissing hot, the meat put on 1t without any fat, cooked one minute, then turned to the other side, then cooked until done, turning very often, so that the juices will be retained.

 Ing, 1t Is the kind of event that we call a catastrophe. But our conven. tional ideas of such an event are of something so violent and noisy that we could not fail to hear its threaten Ing. We assume that we should know one Ii We saw it. There are certain tragic forms in which it sometimes falls. like riot or plagUa CT 3iss@a>ea. but Me are not willing to attend to the less striking forms in which most such happenings fall upon IT men's lives. The worst and most far-reaching catas trophe Is one which nobody notices un til 1t has done it's work And that is the catastrophe of neglect
 No man can be very wise or we'll equipped for life who is simple enough to suppose that our worst perils will always come ringing a bell to herald their approach. No more can We take our ease and trust that if there is any. thing very serious the matter with our life, our friends and those who love us will surely let us know of it. For the hardest thing to get through anybody's head Is realization of his worst fault The lesser faults our friends will dare to speak of, as they sometimes do. and We are quite happy to have gotten off so easily. We know that the things they criticize are not fatal and may easily be corrected. But the closest friend will hesitate before telling us that We are degenerating. or that our whole level is lowered, or that we are lar from being the men We used to be Al. this We must find out mostly from ourselves and with the help of God Many wife has ever before her, night and day, the sad realization that it is not this or that. but the whole spirit and inmost life of her husband, that Is deterierating. She dreads the out. look, but she dares not speak Doing no definitely bad thing the husband is negleeting the whole purpose of life at a thousand points Who can tell us that our tone is lowered, our spirit changed. our fineness turned to ooafseheSS through femlSSneSs, no one of which in itself seems serious thing. but whose total means that we have become without knowing it diff. ferent men? We must find out for our selves with Gods help how We stand. and remember that more crises in life fail to be met, and more tragedies oc- cur through neglect than through all other forms of wrong-doing put to- gether

Wherein Failure Lies.

It is not through lack of power to think up new things and make great strokes of endeavor that we fail More often it is through simple weariness of doing over and over as long as We live the very things that have most ac counted for any success we have ever had Worship ceases from a mans life because everything seems to be going well and there is no trouble or disas ter imminent. If some catastrophe had fallen upon Jim or his surround ings he would return to his worship lt is one of the must subtle catas trOphes when man comes to feel like that. Little by little. with clear sky and no clouds threatening, he does not realize the slump and settling that Is saking place in his whole life. He offers no affront to his Maker, but he ueglects him. One thing and another may seem to go go on just as well in his life. but his whole situation has changed without his knowing it. For :. long time it will seem as if nothing h,l happened. With a general feeling ul wishing well to his home or his children, and just because they are al ways there and the surroundings ot the home seem so fair that no particu- 4ar pains or effort seem to be called TOT. he does not suspect the extent of His neglect or lew silently cords are ,aapping between him and the best

 f with most of us things have to go wrong before we will do the simple things that would insure their contin' led rightness. If the house has fallen down, we will do something; but the little attention which the house needs at this point which can be given in an hour or half day, or at some other point where harm can be kept from happening by very slight effort these things seem beneath us. If IL were something great. We would do it. but we wait until what is needed is SC great that We are staggered by it.
 Let us drop all thought of great ad' venturous things to do, and be content 10 do today and tomorrow the only kind of things that have ever put any greatness into us. If day by day We dread neglect and keep 1t from creep ing into the life of the soul and the performance of our task. we need not fear any great catastrophe.-Sunday School Times.
