Storage of Summer

Iler clOCneS is maCCef now Delng
considered by many housewives. The
summer things which will not be used
again until May or June should be
stored in such way that they will
be protected from moths and dust.
"The important thing is to have
dry storage space, with the lothes,
scrupulously clean, packed in as lit
tie room as possible and labeled"
says Bessie C.. Willis, clothing spec
ialist with the University of Mime
sofas agricultural extension service.
"Woolens and furs demand the
greatest care" Miss Willis adds.
<'The summer fur should be whipped
and aired or cleaned if necessary. 1t
can be put with the clean sport
sweaters and wool hose in a suit box
with moth balls in it. Summer un-
derwear, dresses, etc., should be
Numbered without starch and put in
a box. The box, if wrapped, will
insure against SCOT or dust sitting in.
"Shoes to keep their shape should
either be put on shoetrees or stuffed
with paper and put in box out of
the dust.
''The summer wool suit should be
thoroughly cleaned and hung on a
padded coat hanger so it will not be
a mass of wrinkles in the spring.
Cover with a bag made from an old
sheet or nightgown, then use paper
bag for a second cover. Slip an
extra square of cloth over the hook
of the coat hanger to keep SCOT or
dust from sitting in. This can be
hung at the back of the closet if there
is no other place. 1t should be in
spected occasionally, but if it is per-
fectly clean it will not be so attrac-
tive to the months.
"a moth-proof chest for woolens
may be made from a wooden box with
a tight cover. Line this with tar
balls or some other moth preventive
may be used"
