Managing That Extra Closet Space

And Relative Popularity of Flowers|

tie NEED EXTRA closet space? You probably do if you own one of} Boils 10uses as many closets seem to be the modern idea. You can |} one in the corner of the room but that is rather obvious. One of |} suggestion which gives you what you want and |; the attractiveness of a room.

our readers makes this adds something, tov, to She had built two closets, one in €ach corner of a window wall. That allowed her to have a window ‘ alcove, too. Get the idea? She put a window seat with lovely chintz “Cushion and pillows in that alcove. If you don’t have the window side of the room to work with take an unbroken wall and build in a complete unit including ciosets at the two ends with double deck bunks built in between. Or if you don’t want built-in beds, leave the alcove between the two closets and fit the head of the bed into it or a lounge or dressing table, sofa, buffet or what have you. Use wood paneling on the walls for contrast. Better still, line them with bookshelves.

Popularity of Flowers

ARE YOU an amateur gardener and uncertain about what selections to make for planting in your garden? Or are you a member of a garden club program committee which must choose topics for discussion at winter meetings? Then you will be interested in knowing the relative popularity of flowers. There is a big fat book called the Agricultural Index which comes out every three years. In it are listed all articles about flowers that have appeared in 128 magazines, books and governmental pamphlets. These editors have, without talking. it over, decided the popularity of the various flowers. A survey of the number of articles on each flower shows that the rose is the most popular of all—iwice as interesting as any other flower. Here are the flowers ranked in popularity upon the basis of the number of articles written about them: Roses, irises, gladioli, dahlias, lilies, chrysanthemums, tulips. orchids, narcissi, delphiniums, pinks, peonies, begonias, asters, cacti, sweetpeas, snapdragons, azaleas, primroses, petunias, lilacs, hyacinths, camellias, fuchsias, . marigolds, nasturtiums, + zinnias, pansies and poppies.

STATISTICANS say that falls on bathroom floors are one of the major causes of injuries in the home. So you will welcome a new bath mat which has the underneath side made of rubber. The rubber side is in a honeycomb pattern so that it grips the flcor firmly. The upper side is brushed rayon.

Kitchen Hints

TWEEZERS are very convenient for removing the pin feathers of fowls. You also can singe them off by holding the fowl over a flame, turning the bird quickly so that it is not scorched.

To slice dates, figs and prunes for cooking use a pair of scissors dipped

even.

To keep stew dumplings from becoming soggy, do not allow them to sink into the gravy—place each dumpling on a piece of solid vegetable or meat. Cover and cook for 12 or 13 minutes. The lid should fit tightly and the dumplings should never be disturbed while cooking.

Brown sugar that has become hard and caked can be made soft again by spreading it out as much as possible on .a shallow dish and allowing it to stand in a warm oven for several minutes. The sugar should not be permitted to melt, of course.

To keep a bowl steady while using a beater or a mixer, set it on a towel or other piece of cloth on the table.
