What is claimed is: 1. A device comprising: a suitcase for receiving clothes, the suitcase comprising: a base wall; an end wall spaced in a parallel relation to the base wall; first and second side walls spaced in a parallel relation to each other, each of the first and second side walls being perpendicular to each of the base and end walls; at least one handle located on the end wall; a zippered opening provided at least in the end wall, the zippered opening comprising open and closed positions; and a front wall pivotally mounted to one of the first and second side walls, the front wall comprising open and closed positions, wherein the front wall can be placed in its open and closed positions independently of the placement of the zippered opening in its open and closed positions; and a hanging system for hanging the clothes, the hanging system comprising: a base frame coupled to the base wall; a first telescoping assembly extending from the base frame and along the first side wall, the first telescoping assembly comprising: a first outer member; a first inner member telescoped in the first outer member and moveable relative to the first outer member; and a first supporting member located at the distal end portion of the first inner member, the first supporting member having a first through opening; a second telescoping assembly extending from the base frame and along the second side wall, the second telescoping assembly comprising: a second outer member that is spaced in a parallel relation to the first outer member; a second inner member telescoped in the second outer member and moveable relative to the second outer member; and a second supporting member located at the distal end portion of the second inner member, the second supporting member having a second through opening; a third telescoping assembly supported by the first and second telescoping assemblies, the third telescoping assembly comprising: a third outer member wherein: the respective end portions of the third outer member extend within the first and second through openings; and the third outer member is perpendicular to each of the first and second outer members of the first and second telescoping assemblies, respectively; and two inner members, wherein: each of the two inner members is telescoped in the third outer member and is moveable relative to the third outer member; and the two inner members are moveable in opposing directions from each other; a retracted position in which: the zippered opening in the end wall is in its closed position; and the first, second and third telescoping assemblies are contained in the suitcase; and an extended position in which: the zippered opening is in its open position; at least respective portions of the first and second inner members are located outside of the suitcase; and the third telescoping assembly is located outside of the suitcase and the two inner members of the third telescoping assembly extend from the third outer member in mutually opposing directions so that the distance between the respective distal ends of the two inner members of the third telescoping assembly is greater than the parallel spacing between the first and second side walls of the suitcase. 2. A method comprising: providing a suitcase for receiving clothes, comprising: providing a base wall; spacing an end wall in a parallel relation to the base wall; spacing first and second side walls in a parallel relation to each other, each of the first and second side walls being perpendicular to each of the base and end walls; locating at least one handle on the end wall; providing a zippered opening at least in the end wall, the zippered opening comprising open and closed positions; and pivotally mounting a front wall to one of the first and second side walls, the front wall comprising open and closed positions, wherein the front wall can be placed in its open and closed positions independently of the placement of the zippered opening in its open and closed positions; providing a hanging system for hanging the clothes, comprising: coupling a base frame to the base wall; extending a first telescoping assembly from the base frame along the first side wall, the first telescoping assembly comprising: a first outer member; a first inner member telescoped in the first outer member and moveable relative to the outer member; and a first supporting member located at the distal end portion of the first inner member, the first supporting member having a first through opening; extending a second telescoping assembly from the base frame along the second side wall, the second telescoping assembly comprising: a second outer member; a second inner member telescoped in the second outer member and moveable relative to the second outer member; and a second supporting member located at the distal end portion of the second inner member, the second supporting member having a second through opening; supporting a third telescoping assembly on the first and second telescoping assemblies, the third telescoping assembly comprising: a third outer member wherein: the respective end portions of the third outer member extend within the first and second through openings; and the third outer member is perpendicular to each of the first and second outer members of the first and second telescoping assemblies respectively; and two inner members, wherein: each of the two inner members is telescoped in the third outer member and is moveable relative to the third outer member; and the two inner members are moveable in opposing directions from each other placing the hanging system in a retracted position in which: the zippered opening in the end wall is in its closed position; and the first, second and third telescoping assemblies are contained in the suitcase; and placing the hanging system in an extended position in which: the zippered opening is in its open position; at least respective portions of the first and second inner members are located outside of the suitcase; and the third telescoping assembly is located outside of the suitcase and the two inner members of the third telescoping assembly extend from the third outer member in mutually opposing directions so that the distance between the respective distal ends of the two inner members of the third telescoping assembly is greater than the parallel spacing between the first and second side walls of the suitcase.
