C. tion for this meeting was “Stor-! age Space for the Home,” a pres sing problem in Ncrth Carolina when one considers the statistical fact that: ‘‘half the houses in North Carolina are 'built without any closet space.” Miss Beam suggested that: ‘‘if any one is faced with the prob lem of storage a great many things may be done to provide some—such as the building of a wardrobe—even from orange cra tes and packing boxes”. She not only had plans giving explicit directions for this, but exhibited some minature devices that almost any one cculd make with a bit of time and effort. It is a good idea to never discard an orange or egg crate, a packing box nor any type of box made from wood, for sooner or later you may find a use for it in some nook in the house. Mrs. Robert Duke, Mrs. John Moore and Miss Jewell Fog leman, read timely suggestions on the storage of winter clothing, (blankets, etc. Immediately following the de monstration hour, Miss Mildred Glenn, daughter of the hostess, invited everyone to the dining room where an array of dining room and kitchen equipment was displayed, a shower for Mrs. A.
