PROPER WAY TO HANG SKIRT

Caro Necessary If One Would Have It Retain Its Original Shape—The White Dress. Every woman knows how hard it into hang up a skirt so that it retains its original shape. Here is one way tn which it can be done: Take an ordinary wooden coat-hang-er and screw underneath the hanger two small brass hooks about one inch long. Place them at either side of the -center hook, at equal distance* from IL Hang the loops ot the skirt on thehooks. A jacket can be slipped on the hanger without wrinkling the ekirt. To improve the shiny serge or cloth lay it fiat on the table and pass » piece of fine sandpaper very gently over the shiny park The sandpaper will roughen up the nap again, but be careful not to rub too hard, as it may wear a hole in your material. When putting away white dresses wrap them in dark blue cambrio to prevent them from turning yellow. Paper can also be used and can be blued by dipping in strong bluing water and dried. Fine centerpieces and doilies not in use should be kept wrapped in dark blue tissue paper.—Farm and Fireside.
