HOME-MADE SKIRT-HANGERS
When a wardrobe is very high and it is inconvenient to stretch up to the hooks provided, skirt-hangers to sling on to the hooks may be made that will do away with the need of stretching so high. To make a skirt hanger, take a piece of huckaback braid, about eight inches in length and 13 inches wide, and fold it in half so as to form a loop, in which a large safety pin must be fastened. The ends of the braid must then be attached to a brass jcing, which, should the skirt-hanger be intended as a gift, should be covered with single crochets made with silk-finished cotton. The ring can be hung to a skirt to be supported should be" hooked at the waist and then huug on to the safety-pin.
To beautiful coat and blouse hangers for gift purposes, these, if made of plain wood, should be wound over and over with cheap ribbon and a bow of the same trim the centre hook, from which also might depend little silk balls stuffed with cottonwool and sachet powder, similar balls depending from each end of the hanger, and thus helping to perfume the coat or blouse supported. This is a pretty and dainty idea.
