KEEP YOUR CLOSETS

By
FRANCES
F0RTENBERRY
Home Economics
Director Miss. Power
d g Co.

The first step In reorganizing a
closet is to measure for space You
may wish to install a shelf for
hats. a lower shelf for shoes, or
a side shelf for odds and ends. A
rod on which to hang suits, dresses
and coats should be fastened at
the top of the side walls running
either the length or the width OF
the closet. depending on it's shape
and size. Be sure to leave suffi-
cient space from top of shelf for
hanger loops.
A laundry bag may fit in a small
corner that is too small for any
other use, or 1t may fit under q
shoe shelf.
1t is a good idea to segregate
different types of clothing and
plan to keep them together. Line
up your dresses. How many every
day dresses do you have in con-
slant use? How many party dress
es? How many formal dresses?
Plan to keep them separate. You
gain a lot of floor space for boxes,
that is too often lost through a
1umbling of calf length and floor
length hemlines.
Plan on keeping coats in two
garment bags-one for summer,
n for winter. Short coats and
jackets should be housed under
separate cover.
Keep shoes on a shelf q few in
ches from the floor or place them
in bags or racks on the door of
the closet. 1t Is important to sep
arate walking shoes, play shoes,
and party shoes. II you have spec
ial party or dress shoes, store them
in boxes. Do the same with out
preseason shoes.
On the door place two or three
large hooks to hold play clothes,
short jackets, or suits that are in
constant use. A mans tie rack can
be hung on the door, too, to hold
a collection of scarves.
1t is important to keep every
day hats separated from your best
ones. Choose flexible stands for
every day hats to facilitate getting
the hat easily and quickly.
Accessories for the closet that
make for efficiency:
/. Triple metal hat stands
which keep crowns intact.
2. Padded hangers keep clothes
shapely.
3. All-in-one jacket and skirt
hangers.
A. C~loth-covered hangers pre-
vent slipping.
5. A hanger with a cellophane
hood is a dust %preventer on
shoulders of clothes
s. Clamps for two or three
skirts give more room on the
hanger rod.
Z. Garment bags OF various
sizes keep clothes away from
dust and prevent wrinkles.
8. Hat Boxes.

Review of 200 leading news

HURRICANE PLANT
(Monistera deliciosd).
By LiIIion Cox Athey

No problem presents itself when
you wish to identify the hurricane
plant. 1t has developed so many
holes and slits in its large leaves
you cannot go wrong. Strong winds
can go whistling through the leaf
windows and gales play around
without tearing the openings already
provided. The tough green leaves
are giant in size, about SO inches
long and approximately the same
width. They never sway with the
wind, but there is peculiar sound
when the swift breezes hit the port
holes. We wonder why the plant
went to such extremes to survive.
The hurricane plant must have a.
warm tropical temperature. It's fruit
is said to be delicious, the eating
of which takes a long time because
the fruit ripens little by little. At
first it resembles a long green pine
cone about II inches long, which
turns yellow as 1t ripens inch by
inch.
Sometimes the plant grows as a
vine If a neighbor tree is nearby
for support. Then the plant sends
out roots to use as feet for climb
ing. These aerial roots absorb mois-
ture and gases from the air. How
ever, If no support is handy, the
hurricane plant is satisfied to re-
main a husky, spreading bushlike
plant. In this form it produces
beautiful flowers similar in struc-
ture to the arum lily.
