closet ours was! What a home
our new clothes had come
into! In all the excitement Of
buying new fall and winter
things, we'd completely neg
lected to prepare properly for
them.
Our old painted hangers,
cracked and Clipped, would
have surely caught or torn our
dresses. Shoe shelves gaped
wide open, inviting dust to col
lect on our new shoes. And
the high shelf above our dresses,
where our new hats were
destined, was impossible.
Room for Everything
Yes. conditions we're very
bad, indeed. So we set out to
see what stores had to offer to
relieve the situation. And the
first things that we came across
were cabinets-the most com.
pact little sets of drawers
you've ever seen! Just right
for any cloSet-they take up so
little room. And how much
can be put away inside! We've
Sketched one above in the
closet. It has four drawers to
keep shoes fresh in-one pair in
each drawer. The narrow
drawer in the middle is spaced
off neatly for hosiery and
gloves. And the top drawer,
which is wider, can be used for
lingerie-or, if you'd rather, put
sweaters, blouSes, berets, or
anything you like in there.
It's quite spacious, really. In
place of it, however, you may
have two more shoe drawers (at
no extra COST.
And do you realize that it has
real wood cabinet construction?
We've sketched it in crushed
cloth, which speaks for itself
in name.
Other COIOrs-Other Fabrics
Though we picked green as a
part of our color scheme, you
may take your choice of blue or
rose or orchid or peach. The
price is only about $500. Now
if you'd prefer this cabinet in
either velveteen or moire you'll
have to pay about two dollars
more.
Crushed Cloth Boxes
On the closet shelves you'll
see some boxes. Not just ordi-
nary cardboard ones - they're
covered with crushed cloth, to
match the cabinet. And they
have brass handles that make
them easy to pull down.
The hat box which is nice
to keep a velvet or formal hat
III costs only about $2.95. And
we found the clothes box, above
1t, just the thing in which to
pack away some summer dresses.
It's the same price as the hat
box. Then about a dollar more
Is what we paid for the larger
box up there. It solves the prob
lem Of where to keep our extra
blankets when they're not in
use.
Velveteen, Soft on Hats
and Dresses
We like a fabric contrast in
our closet. just like in our
clothes. So we chose velveteen
for the hat stand and the
hangers. It's so soft and nice
to put things on.
HatstandS are a little taller
than they used to be. Manu-
facturers, you see, were all pre-
pared for trailing feathersl
About $1.00 each is what they
cost. And the hangers, as
you'll see below, come in sets
Of six. Though they're all tied
up with ribbons when you buy
them, not all are removed for
use. A little satin bow remains
around the base Of each little
covered hook. Think Of getting
six for so cents or a little
less. Here's an idea for bridge
prize or a little Christmas gift.
And you can have a choice Of
green. blue, coral, orchid, peach
or old rose!
Nothing Overlooked
BY now, you must be wonder
ing what we've done about our
dresses. We found the grand
est garment bags, made Of
Argentine cloth. It's transpar-
ent, so that you can see which
dresses are inside. They come
in all the softest pastel colors,
and cost only about 75c apiece.
Then we had our closet
painted orchid-and all the ae-
cessories we bought in green, to
