MY LIFE You'll surely be getting out the best glassware for Thanksgiving dinner — did you ever stop to think that there's an "expert method" for everything, including care and storage of glasses? First, hot water won't harm them. Wash in hot water with ammonia or detergent in the water — soap may leave streaks. Don't put glasses that had ice in them immediately into hot water. Rinse milk glasses in cool water before washing. Don't crowd glasses in dishpan, and it's best to place a folded cloth on the bottom of the pan— helps prevent breakage. To store: upright on shelf in rows front-to-back — this to prevent reaching over low pieces to get at goblets. Don't stack unless you don't like the glasses— they'll stick, chip! Ingredients: a small apartment, a job, a love of entertaining. Problem: to make them all fit a schedule. It can be done — Nora tells how This is Nora Drake is heard Monday through Friday, 2:30 P.M.

I found out not long ago — in exactly the same amount of room you now have! Organization, not breaking a wall through to the neighbors', is the answer, and a department store's closet shop can become your best friend. First, garment bags. The standard size measures 21 by 9 by 57 inches, holds up to eight dresses. Suit bags are 42 inches long, blouse bags 36. Take everything out of your closet and measure; allow about an inch between bags and calculate the number your closet will hold. For ease in opening bags there should be 2>/2 to 3 inches between the clothes rod and the shelf above it Now analyze your wardrobe; separate all articles to be stored far a season — like summer garments, now winter's coming on — and keep them together, suits and dresses in a bag you won't open till spring, shoes in boxes, stacked, sweaters and blouses and such in a drawer or an under-bed chest if you need to. This frees space for the things you're going to be using now and through the winter. Now classify those clothes, putting all dresses together, all blouses together, and the same with sweaters', hats, shoes, suits and the rest. Divide hats into special-occasion wear and everyday. Put the best ones in a large box, the everyday ones in drop-front box on shelf or in one of the new hanging hat bags. Shoes go in boxes or on racks. Knitted things should go in drawers or boxes to avoid stretching. Special blouse hangers save space, so do multiple slacks-hangers. When you shop for these closet accessories take along a floor plan of your closet; budget to buy* most needed items first, adding a piece or two at a time. radio mirror for BETTER LIVING 49
