Hide-away For Everything Provided By Space-savers
By MARY MARGARET AEeBRIDE NEA Service stan Correspondent

NEA Service stan Correspondent New York-wheneyer the inven- tors of spaoe-savers can't think of at least three uses for any given article, they count that day lost. Partical1y everything in their briught lexicon, by delft flip of l the wrist, can be turned into some thing that it isn't. And in these times some of the things they have thought up are handy ideas to file | for holiday consideration. Especial ly for a family that intends to go l in for a practical Christmas.
 There is for instance, the neat detachable metal cabinet equipped with shelves, hooks and racks that, hung upon a door, functions in bath room, Kitchen, bedroom or ] dinette to keep in orderly array all l the small objects that otherwise | would clutter up the landscape. For the clothes closet, there are space-saving racks, stands and shallow drawers for hats, shoes, l furs and even 1eckties. One genius | has even thought up a hanger at- tachment that keeps a long even | ing gown from sweeping the floor. l Al combination mirror, shelf and | two small drawers hung on the l closet door transforms the closet into a dressing room.
 Making Bathrooms Roomier. 1 The bathroom has offered the space-saving experts an especially | wide field. Thus, wicker clothes hamper topped with cover of | plastic wood has two drawers for l fresh towels and 8 swinging com | partment for soiled clothes. You may also buy this contraption with | two additional sections in which to store your cleaning apparatus. ALSO the shelves tops will serve as q | dressing table and there may be ex7 | tra shelves for the bottles.
 A convenient gadget for the bridge table is a clover leaf tray that fits over the center of the table, skips all the section taken up with cards or chips and comes out in propections upon which re- | freshfnen ents may be served without disturbing the game. Another aid to an unruffled game is the com : bination glass holder and ashtraH with, spring lever that clamps on
 to the table leg, thus eliminating coasters and ashtrays on the table.
 And In the Kitchen.
 The Kitchen, though, is the fav- orite hunting grounds of the idea men. The ironing broad of today IS, in its free moments, either stool or a step ladder. A wall clothes dryer that when open affords dry
 ing space for good sized family laundry slides into a wall cabinet.
 Then there is the combination cleaning pail that, under one
 handle, is pail, pain, a soap dish, a brush holder and a recept- able for cleaning cloths and pow ders. Sometimes this versatile u- tensil even comes with two com nartments, one for clear, one for soapy water.
 The electrical appliances have ! joined in the space-saving parade. foo. tThe electric dish washing machine now fits below the sink. | When the door is opened, the tray can be pulled out and the dishes and silverware placed thereon. ln- cidentaliy, parts of the trays are made of rubber SO that metal ob- jecas won't be injured.
 Stove Becomes Versatile.
 | The electric stove, in addition to | cooking the food, in the modern | version keeps things warm, pro- yides space for housing utensils Tn daily use, a shelf for condiment | jars. an automatic clock ana sockets for attaching both toaster and coffee pot. !.
 Last put not least, are the aids to the over-crowded refrigerator Tone a beverage rack that may be fastened to the under-wire ol refrigerator shelves to cradle the bottles in proper position; the other, an adaptation of the lazy susan, is a compact metal disc containing six crystal quart jars into which ice-box left-overs may
 be put, thus eliminating extra ana odd-sized dishes.
