COAT HANGER.--An inventor in Boston has just perfected an excellent
coat-hanger.
At the first glance it looks like the ordinary hangers we have been
using for so many years, but this invention obviates the one objection
which attaches to all the other hangers we have come across--it adapts
itself to the size of the place in which it is to be used.
[Illustration: Hanger]
Those who live in small houses or apartments with meagre cupboard-room
know that the old hanger is out of the question for them, two coats or
waists taking up the entire length of the wardrobe.
The new hanger is adjustable. Its arms work on a spring. It can stretch
them out to the fullest extent where space is no object, but when used
in a cupboard where every inch counts, the accommodating arms will fold
together, and taking one sleeve of the coat or waist on each arm, lay
them together in the same position they would be in if folded in a
drawer. It then hangs in precisely the same manner as the usual hanger,
but with this difference, that it occupies but half the space.
