A Chest for Hats.

Closet room is always at q premium
There can never be enough space to hold
all that household contains, with per-
feet ease and comfort. Particularly. does
the problem of hats need solving. Closet
shelves are generally capable Of holding
but one Of the size that fashion now de-
crees. Each hat should have an entire
box of its own. roomy enough to allow II
to lie nat upon hat rest, for the least
cramping Is liable to crush 1t or alter it's
shape.
A very novel and practical idea has
been evolved to meet the needs of the
woman who possesses half a dozen hats
and doesn't know where to put them. A
light stand. made of four slender posts
with q shelf or two, containing prettily-
decorated boxes, Is a gay addition to a
room, and does not mar Its beauty. The
stand contains no sides, so that the box
may easily slip In and out, or a better
arrangement is to have one side of the
box attached on hinges, so that one need
not 60 to the trouble Of lifting of the lid
each time you wish to remove the hat.
Sometimes these stands are stained to
match the furniture of the room, or they
look fresh and pretty when enameled in
white paint. or. again. they may be
draped In chintz to match the hangings of
crude materials and placed In the store
room. II space allows. But the woman
who possesses such one will find It of
great comfort. Hat rests, to place within
the boxes, of light wire covered with
either ribbon or silk or chintz, of course,
are made to carry out the prevailing
color scheme.

Millinery Wrinkles.

When a separate loop Of wire is in
serted in a hat bow, it often has an
extremely annoying habit of asserting
its presence by poking out. A stitch is
not always advisable. as 1t may spoil the
look Of the bow.
Here is quite good dodge when deal
ing with piece silk. The loops are made
the required width from a strip cut on
the straight. The selvage is one side.
and the other is hemmed. into the hem
a round millinery wire is pushed before
making up the loop. and it gives the bow
such a smart outstanding appearance,
keeping it exactly in the required posi-
ton.
Bows wired in this way are most valu-
able when motor wells are worn. as they
come up smiling after the crushing, inev-
itably sustained. Though you might not
think 1t, the bow looks smarter if the
side that is hemmed (what one naturally
would call "the wrong side') is used for
the front. It looks like a strapping
slipped on, and the wire acts as a kind of
piping.
