NEW HANGER FOR SWEATERS

Special Holder, Made From Embrold- . ery Ring, Will Preaerve Shape of Garments. Have you ever hung your pet sweater away on a coat hanger for a couple of days,? If you have, you have probably found it stretched most distressingly when you took it down again. So. then, have you hung it, ever so carefully, up on a hook? Yes? Then, of course, you have found a most annoying little bump in the wool where it hung. So then, perhaps, you have decided to keep your sweaters in a bureau drawer —and you have caught them on the edge of the drawer and pulled a thread. Well, here is a suggestion to make the keeping of your sweaters truly easy. Have a special sweater holder. This special holder is no more than a huge embroidery ring, of the sort that is used for the handles and tops of knitting bags. Attach a ribbon or tape to the ring at each end, and by means of this ribbon hang it on a hook. Then pull the sweater through the ring. Several may be placed on the same ring without any trouble. The ring, to b’e best fitted for its work, should be wound with satin ribbon. The quality need not be expensive, but the shiny surface of the satin ribbon makes it easier to pull the sweaters through the ring and there is no possibility of tearing by splinters from the surface of the wood when it is covered in this way.
