days. So when he was matched with
Kid Mccoy for a try-out and rushed
at the Kid and knocked him cold
with r punch in the first round
everybody was surprised and shock

Mccormick was tremendously
puffed up over his victory. Mccoy
was very sore. but made no signs of
his soreness. He almost begged Nc
Cormick to give him another match,
which the giant did willingly enough,
saying 1t was a shame to beat the
poor Old man again. but he needed
the money.

Then the Kid ostentatiously began

Mccormick burned brick-red and
beat a hasty retreat to his dressing

@HE new home-making Is by
no means confined to the
kitchen, but includes even
the apparently slight matter
of caring for household linens and
clothes. Since our annual bill for
clothes comes next to our largest
other single item-that for food
the care Of furnishings and clothes
Is a problem no housewife can over
look. It Is probably not the actual
wearing Of our clothes that wears
them out, but careless hanging or
roor laundering when they arc on
which results in faded and mis-
shapcn garments.
Even the huunblest nat can have
its clothes storage possibilities I'M
proved by a tudicious use OF nang-
ers for coats and skirts. There are
now On the market several improved
kinds OF hangers, many OF them IN
sets which can be attached to the
back wall or door OF the clothes
closet.
The best Of these are SO arranged
that they pull out forward, and per-
NIT the hanging of four to six coats
or skirts horizontally. Separate
hangers can be had for skirts. which
allow the skirts to be well hung and
separated just as 1t would be on an
actual figure. Even the little snip
per clothes pins, which cost only two
for cents, are excellent for hang
iI.g up skirts or trousers.
Coat hangers are also now made
in the small sizes, suitable for cnii-
dren's wraps. and 1t is surprising
how much longer a Little tots dress
will keep clean IL hung up at night
than IL allowed to lie and wrinkle
on a chair. just as 1t came from the
child's body.
II shoe racks are not built into our
closets It is not difficult to place a
small shelf near the bottom OF tho
closet with a narrow cieat across
on which to rest the heel Of each
shoe. or several kinds Of wire shoe
racks can be bought in house furn-
ishing Easements which have a place
for each shoe to rest, the whole rack
holding as many as six pairs or
shoes, and which can be attached TO
the closet door.
Shoe forms are now being made
in inexpensive styles. and We can
get a good pair for 80 cents which
will certainly add that length OF
time to our pairs of best shoes il
we stretch them upon the form when
not In use. For the small children a
simple shoe bag hanging down low
on the inside of the closet door will
be a great help. and will teach the
little tots to put their own shoes
and rubbers away when they come
in.
The housewife who has I linen
closet in our crowded apartments
may indeed consider herself lucky.
But even a large bureau or closet
drawer is not so bad If some sys-
TEN is used in arranging the linen
For instance. an excellent thing has
lust appeared in the shape OF 4 linen
roll, or cardboard roll, upon which
to roll center pieces and doilies. A
similar portfolio can be used for
tablecloths and napkins. keeping
them separate and unrumpled. Also
q simple drawer can be divided by
partitions so as to have separate
compartments for face towels. face
cloths. etc. II these drawers are
actually labelled on the inside. 1t
