KEEPING DRESSES IN ORDER

Mother’s Idea of Arranging Little Bfarments Is Worth Trouble of Keeping in the Memory. ■ - . . - -- ■ ■ - . . Where to keefi my baby’s dresses when not in use was a never-ending problem. They took up so much room in the clothes press or dresser drawers, the one I wanted was always sure to be at the bottom and they were always mussed and crumpled from handling. I purchased for a nickel at the five and ten-cent store a wire coat hanger which had two spring clothespins attached and Which were intended to hold the skirt of a suit For another five cents I procured an extra dozen of these spring pins, had my husband untwist the wire which held the two on the hanger, slip on the extra 12, and twist the wire back into position. I can catch from one to four dresses on each pin, and the hanger holding about two dozen dresses hangs on a single hook in the clothes press. I can see the one I want at a glance, and they are always fresh and dainty. We have since made similar affairs for colored dresses, skirts, and the like, and should think this would be a great help to mothers living in small apartments and flats. —Good Housekeping.
