storing a fur coat at home, shake
and air It. well and follow the
same procedure as for q cloth
coat. Do not spray, as some
sprays discolor fur.
Give your coat every possible
consideration. If it gets wet,
dry it slowly In a well-ventilated
room, not near direct heat. See
that the hanger is we'll padded
and wide enough so that the coat
hangs straight, and button the
top fastener so that it will keep
its shape. If there is big
collar, use a hanger high
enough so that the collar will not
be rubbed. And never, never
hang coat on a hook If you
want it to look like a coat and
not shapeless bag!
Many women will be buying
fur coats and fur trimmed cloth
ones in the sales this year, and
these garments will, truly, be
duration styles. So, If a coat is
worth the investment, it's also
worth all the attention and
proper care that you can give it.

solved the coffee table problem
and offered other possibilities as
well. This hybrid" sideboard
or server or whatever" had been
relegated to the attic because it
never went with anything else
in the house. 1t was a chest on
turned legs, somewhat Spanish
In appearance, whose cupboard
doors had machine carved pam
els. Just plain bad from the
point of view Of design and use.
The well-turned base, however,
removed from the chest made a
foundation about IA inches high,
four and half feet long and 20
inches across, perfect proper
ton for a coffee table in front of
a siX-foot couch. A heavy ply
wood top was cut to fit the base
and on this was pasted a length
of unusually beautiful wallpaper
in a classic architectural design.
Then sheet of lightweight glass
was placed over the wallpaper
and the whole top framed in
deep cornice moulding such as
good builders use to trim
period room.
These three pieces were paint
ed carefully in a very pale gray
to match the woodwork In the
room.
Extra dividend on this under
taking was a new use for the top
Of the old sideboard. Placed in
the dining room, fastened to the
wall over an old chest of drawers
with marble top, it found its
real purpose in life. The interior
was painted clear vermillion, the
outside soft tone of sage green
to match the chest of drawers
below. The inferior machine
carving on the doors was touched
up with paint in bright colors
which turned out well enough to
give the effect of an enamel in
lay. The drawers on the chest
repeated two of the coIors in the
paneling. New matching draw
and door pulls made the ensemble
complete.

Castoff Pieces Of Furniture
May Prove Gold Mine TODAY
BY Margaret NozOeLl

Developing a seeing eye" is a
must for the woman who furn-
ishes her house with made-over
Junk" and castoffs. She must
be able to spot possibilities in the
most unusual places, and by her
own ingenuity turn them into
useful articles of furniture and
decoration worth Dragging about.
Many of us have the necessary
items for essential comfort such
as several fine chairs, a table or
two and good beds. But every
woman knows that it is the little
things that make a room, and
these days it is quite difficult to
pick up the number of small items
that go well with what we own.
So the next move is to whip up
the necessary atmosphere from
odds and ends and unpainted
pieces to create an effect. Small
cost and high effort is usually
what 1t takes.
One very fine sofa is a COM
Portable asset. but it is very lonely
looking on the long wall of a
room without the small pieces
which should go with it. One
smart housekeeper solved the
whole wall decoration cleverly
with combination of things
made over from a find in the
attic and few inexpensive
extras.
She needed two lamp tables
and they had to be tall ones as
the sofa ends were too high to
make regular end tables useful.
Next she needed a long, low
coffee table, unusually capacious,
to make up for the fact that the
end tables were large enough
only for lamps. A pair of un-
painted stands, sometimes called
fern stands, with slender taper
ing legs turned out to be just the
right height and size for the
lamp tables at the end Of the
sofa. At less than 50 each they
could be painted to go with the
room color scheme.

Smart Washington Is Wearing
Breath-T aking Hats, Sables, Sleek Suits, Simple

Now that spring is really Off
cial, the smart costumes chosen
by Washington ladies reflect,
more than ever, the spirit of the
season. Needless to say, there
were many spring suits and hats
glimpsed around town long be-
fore March q, but with the
promise of really warm weather
in the near future, the costumes
of the Capitals best dressed"
have taken on a new, jaunty
look.
Navy blue, as usual, is tops for
spring. Mrs. Walter Moyle has a
charming ensemble which in
cludes a navy blue crepe frock
trimmed with white pique and a
small -brimmed hat Of navy .
Bright blue is the choice of Mrs.
10y Anderson, who wears one of
the new wrap dresses
and perches a matching bow in
her dark hair.
Suits, of course, are "the" news
this year Thelma Peer is
wearing a well-tailored, striped
two-piecer with her lovely sable
scarfs. She also adds a twisted
turban, much beveiled, and uses
simple gold jewelry in ultra
modern design . Martha Wood
goes in for goodlooking tailleurs
and emphasizes the smart ca
reer girl look" by wearing her
snowy white hair in high POM
padour.
Speaking of upswept hair-dos,
they seem to be gaining in popu-
larity day by day. Moreover,
despite fashionists' fears. almost
any kind of chapeau seems to go

Care Fur or Cloth Coat1sa Must ThisYear

from heaters in houses and also
in buses and trains; hang your
coat in a cool closet "a bowl Of
water with a sponge In it will
help to keep it cooD and try not
to crowd your coat in with a
hundred and one other garments.
Naturally, it's good idea to
have your winter coat stored and
be sure to inquire whether the
storage place fumigates before
your coat is put away. Have your
fur coat sawdust cleaned and
glazed each year and it will come
back to you looking almost like
new.
II you must store your coat at

cleaned and then brush and air

It's not the intention of the
fashion world to encourage you
to be sensible in a dull sort Of
way. However, the need for con-
servation is all too apparent,
and even while you're buying gay
hats and. fluffy new blouses to
pep up your wardrobe you'll also
want to take the best possible
care of the clothes you now own.
In many cases making things
last is not difficult and compli-
Gated performance. Rather, it's
matter of giving a little thought
to your clothes, getting In the
habit of being careful about
them and handling them with q
certain amount of respect. Take,
for instance, your coat - either
fur or cloth-which may be
true example of the duration
garment" in your wardrobe.
You know that it's bad for a
coat to nave It's wearer sit on it
for long hours at a time, but do
you know that your coat will be
less inclined to stretch out of
shape across the shoulders and
around the hips If you unfasten
the front closing before you sit?
That's what we mean by getting
into good habits about your
clothes. In the same vein, you

Shields in your coat are not a
bad idea either, you know, not
only to save the fabric from per-
spiration but also to strengthen
the lining at that point where
wear is severe. Shields Of the

often act as protective colora-

Other tips about guarding your

ages or a handbag so that they
rub against the coat-and be
cautious about the effect of over

not to wear hats that rub your
coat collar-and protect that COL

wearing a scarf.

World War No. provided small
town merchants with the opportu-
nifty of lifetime TO build up good
will and teach their fellow towns
people to trade at home instead of
going to some metropolis to make
their purchases" was the opinion
expressed in El Centre Thursday
ty Dan B. Miner. head of the ad-
ertising agency which bears his
name and well-known authority on
business and commerce.
OUTLOOK HOPEFUL
His outlook was hopeful and he
declared that small businesses
should plan to ride out the wartime
shortage of goods and be ready to
cash in on the pent-up buying pow
er that will be released after the
close of the war.
"All are being forced to save,
Miner declared, "and they cannot
purchase merchandise as they could
in normal times" Miner said. In
the years Immediately following the
war this buying power will be re-
leased and there Will be great de-
mand for merchandise of all kinds.
1t will take years to supply this de-
mand.
MAY UTILIZE STORES
In the meantime, the gasoline
and tire shortage and other trans
portation difficulties will teach
small town residents to utilize the
stores in their own towns for what
they wish to buy. If the small
town merchant is wise and takes
advantage of this opportunity to
create goodwill" Miner contin-
ued, "he will have laid the founda-
ton of a healthy business future
He suggested that the mer-
chants in small towns look ahead
and lay their plans to weather the
war period.
Merchants should advertise what
