But poetry aside, home makers must fece practical as pects of changes in weather. One perennial problem posed is the sorting and packing away of sea sonal clothing. The difficulty lies in the fact that winter doesn’t become spring overnight. It rather melts into spring with cold days interspersed with warm. Halfway between season, clothes closets, dresser draw ers, and backdoor entries tend to become cluttered. And the more children there are in a family, the more muddled a mother may feel. Now is the time to anticipate this condition and plan for as smooth a transition as possible. As winter wanes, ready a sturdy box or plastic basket and keep it handy. When the weather breaks, those heavy, space taking clothes can be dropped in the box or basket - but still quickly retrieved incase of a cold snap. In two or three weeks when it looks as if winter is really on its way, begin to ready winter- wear for storage. A cardinal rule when storing clothing is to pack or hang it away clean. Clean fibers will not deteriorate as rapidly as soiled fabric. So wash, rinse and dry those that are wash able. Also, mend rips, replace buttons and make other repairs as you go. You’ll appreciate such foresight next winter. Suds-sponge the outside of lined boots, apply a shoe dress ing to leather. Rubber or vinyl boots need only soap or deter gent and water care. Be sure fleece lining is clean before stor ing. The crevice tool attachment of the vacuum cleaner is a use ful tool in this respect. To fresh en boots, pack them away with an unwrapped bar of soap tucked into each toe. Of course, an attic or separate closet is ideal for out-of-season, out-of-sight storage. But many homemakers must settle for an under-the-bed or part-of-the furniture system of storing boxes. Strong, generous-sized boxes, loaded with winter gear may be covered with stained wood tops to serve as tables in a family room or night stands in children’s rooms. If clothing is packed away, it’s a good idea to number the boxes. Then number index cards and list what each box contains. The cards can be kept in a file box or taped to the back of the door to stor age closet or attic. This saves time when looking for one par ticular garment in storage. Store items according to prob able use. For example, really heavy coats and snowpants need ed for cold weather should go on the bottom leaving room for light er weight jackets, sweaters and corduroys on top. Mothballs are good insurance for woolens. There are several container-types available for hanging in closets. Packets of crystals or paper-impregnated with moth-proofer are good for drawers and boxes. Or, you can buy mothballs or crystals in bulk and make your own “mothball dolls.’ Cut three or four thick nesses of nylon net in a gin gerbread man shape. Sew edges leaving an opening in the head section. Then stuff the dolls with mothballs or crystals. * * * William Inge’s “The Dark at the Top of the Stairs,’ will be the next attraction at the Black Magic Theatre.
