- MY OLD HAT MADE NEW<br />

, (CONTINUED wtou PAOH, 328)<br />

It may be a surprise to most persons to<br />

learn that the renovating <strong>of</strong> lace is a-most<br />

satisfactory proceeding. Black lace, in<br />

particular, comes out quite like new.<br />

Dip black lace in a solution <strong>of</strong> three-fourths<br />

alcohol and one-fourth, waters After the<br />

dipping, do not wring but spread the lace<br />

out very smoothly, 'stretching¦•'¦it on. the<br />

irorjing board or other flat, surface. Every<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the lace , must be pinned separately<br />

that the design may be retained. The lace<br />

isjth ' en left to dry and care should be taken<br />

that it is thoroughly ' dried before the pins<br />

are removed. .; . ,><br />

¦' . 'Whitelace may be washed by putting it<br />

in a clean basin in which the same solution<br />

<strong>of</strong> borax and water as that advised for<br />

the sponging <strong>of</strong> black satin has : been<br />

placed. Let it remain in the solution for<br />

twenty-four hours. Do not rub the lace<br />

but squeeze it, as rubbing breaks the<br />

threads. After its day <strong>of</strong> soaking, the<br />

lace should be well rinsed, stretched on the<br />

ironing board and allowed to dry before<br />

trie pins are removed.<br />

Georgettes are a joy forever to the home<br />

renovator. They may be put in a basin<br />

and washed in good suds and then quite<br />

sensibly and easily ironed on a well-padded<br />

board. Old' georgette waists should not<br />

be tdssed aside. Put them with<br />

the hat materials, for they make<br />

excellent hat facings or they.may<br />

be used for inside layers and covered<br />

with new goods. They are<br />

quite worth cleaning for this purpose,<br />

for especially in the use <strong>of</strong><br />

georgette facings on winter hats<br />

the material is too thin for use in<br />

one-layer thicknesses and must be<br />

lined. The old georgette is j ust as<br />

good as the new for this purpose<br />

and saves materially in the cost <strong>of</strong><br />

the hat. If the old is not the d e-<br />

sired shade, get a package <strong>of</strong> dye<br />

and make it the_ shade you wish!<br />

It takes dye beautifully and—again<br />

at present prices—is quite worth<br />

thi trouble.<br />

Chiffons are more perishable and<br />

are not used to the extent <strong>of</strong> a few<br />

years ago but jf some scraps or<br />

remnants should be stickingaround<br />

in your old boxes the light colors<br />

may be cleaned by rubbing with<br />

magnesia and after the rubbing being<br />

rolled in tissue paper and laid<br />

away for several days. Then they<br />

are unwrapped, shaken well and<br />

pressed lightly with the iron.<br />

Perhaps you .will be interested<br />

in knowing how your old and<br />

broad beaver may be made smaller<br />

and so conform more nearly<br />

to present modes. Unthread your<br />

sewing machine and remove the<br />

bobbin. Set the stitch'to the finest<br />

possible stitch and put your hat<br />

under the needle, having first<br />

drawn a chalkline around the top<br />

<strong>of</strong> the brim to the desired width.<br />

This done, stitch around the brim<br />

twice, carefully following the<br />

chalkline and take the hat from<br />

the machine. Then, with the edge<br />

<strong>of</strong> the hat pressed firmly between<br />

the finger and thumb, bend the<br />

outer brim back and forth until it<br />

breaks away from the stitching.<br />

Never use scissors or knife as either<br />

will cut the fur and leave a rough,<br />

unsatisfactory edge. The edge<br />

that has been broken away from its moorings<br />

may be put away to be used as trimming<br />

on other hats. Make the design you<br />

desire, in the trimming, by outlining with<br />

chalk and following the same method on<br />

the machine as for the cutting <strong>of</strong> the brim.<br />

Straw braids are <strong>of</strong> such a variety that<br />

we will consider only those most commonly<br />

used. Any woman <strong>of</strong> today, who appears<br />

in public wearing a faded straw hat,<br />

should be quite put to shame for the hat<br />

dyes and enamels now on the market are<br />

so wonderful that she can have no excuse<br />

for her laxity. Straws clean well but if,<br />

by chance, they are too badly soiled to<br />

respond to the cleaning process, two coats<br />

<strong>of</strong> dye or enamel and—presto!—they are<br />

new again.<br />

If your last year's Panama looking much<br />

the worse for the wear? Wash—or scrub<br />

it rather—with tepid water and good<br />

white soap. The dirt will disappear very<br />

quickly. After the washing, the hat<br />

should be rinsed in tepid water and the<br />

crown stuffed with white paper to keep its<br />

shape arid. size. The stuffing <strong>of</strong> the crown<br />

is most necessary: for if this is not done the<br />

hat may shrink and become too small for<br />

the head. A good method, also, for the<br />

keeping <strong>of</strong> the exact head size is to sew a<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> wire on the inside <strong>of</strong> the crown<br />

before the washing, but even if this is done<br />

the paper stuffing must be used to support<br />

the crown. When this has been accomplished<br />

the hat is put on a flat surface and<br />

placed in the air (but not the sun) to dry.<br />

White.chip and white felt riats may be<br />

cleaned by being rubbed with magnesia<br />

and left to stand for several hours. When<br />

the powder is dusted <strong>of</strong>f, the hats will<br />

be wearable once again,.<br />

Leghorn may be scrubbed with corn<br />

meal and gasoline or with lemon and sulphur.<br />

For the first method: take a hanful<br />

<strong>of</strong> cornmeal and dampen with gasoline.<br />

Rub the mixture into the hat with a s<strong>of</strong>t<br />

cloth being careful that every part has<br />

been gone over. For the second method:<br />

saturate two tablespoonfuls <strong>of</strong> the sulphur<br />

with lemon juice arid rub into the hat.<br />

When dry, brush <strong>of</strong>f the sulphur and press<br />

with a damp cloth.<br />

Black straw may be sponged with a<br />

cloth saturated with alcohol. This removes<br />

all dust and leaves a clean surface.<br />

Little Francis Taeher Feeding Panama, a Lion Cub, in Central<br />

Park Zoo, New York<br />

Any <strong>of</strong> the light straws that have become<br />

too badly burned for cleaning should be<br />

brushed well and dyed a darker shade<br />

than the original for spots will show<br />

through the dye if the same shade is used.<br />

Black hats may be treated in the same<br />

manner. If a very high polish is desired,<br />

the enamel should'be used or a dye with a<br />

bright, instead <strong>of</strong> dull, finish. ,<br />

Felt hats may be steamed if they are in<br />

need <strong>of</strong> re-freshening. If they are bent or<br />

creased, the blemish may be removed by<br />

holding the spot over the teakettle spout<br />

until damp and then smoothing the felt<br />

between the fingers.<br />

Now that the ostrich feather has come<br />

into its own again we have the problem<br />

<strong>of</strong> cleaning and curling feathers, which is<br />

not a small one although it may be done at<br />

home, satisfactorily, if great pains is taken.<br />

If the feather is light and very much<br />

soiled it may be washed in tepid soap water<br />

—if it is a high grade feather. But most <strong>of</strong><br />

the home cleaning is done with either plain<br />

gasoline or gasoline and a handful <strong>of</strong> white<br />

flour as this method is safe. A large<br />

china bowl is used for the washing. Pour<br />

into it a pint <strong>of</strong> gasoline and, if desired,<br />

the flour may be added. Then use the<br />

tip's <strong>of</strong> the fingers to rub the flues <strong>of</strong> the<br />

feathers. The flues are the feathery parts<br />

on each side <strong>of</strong> the stem: Do not rub in<br />

the hands but press lightly with the-finger<br />

tips. Then pour clean gasoline into the<br />

bowl for, rinsing and after that is done and<br />

the feather is partly dry, roll the feather<br />

in cornstarch and let it lie for a short time.<br />

Then shake gently, to evaporate the gasoline<br />

and dispose <strong>of</strong> the extra cornstarch.<br />

Black or dark colored , feathers always<br />

should be cleaned in the gasoline alone as<br />

any particles <strong>of</strong> the flour or cornstarch<br />

which might persist in clinging would<br />

show."<br />

The curl may not come out to any great<br />

extent in the cleaning but the feather will<br />

always need trimming up. A sharp tool<br />

never should be used for curling. The best<br />

tool for this purpose is the back—or dull<br />

edge—<strong>of</strong> a-silver table knife. Do not<br />

start- the knife close to the stem <strong>of</strong> the<br />

feather but only curl the tip ends <strong>of</strong> the<br />

feather. Begin at the bottom and work<br />

upward, grasping small bunches <strong>of</strong> the<br />

feathers between the fineer and thumb<br />

and pulling gently, but firmly, over<br />

the back <strong>of</strong> the knife blade. After<br />

the feather has been gone over<br />

in this manner shake it and loose<br />

flues that have escaped the curling<br />

will make themselves known<br />

and may be curled.<br />

DAN McCARTY'S GLOR-<br />

ye—and give it to the b'y in the<br />

manger—it belongs to him, and—<br />

and say nothin' ixcipt that ye are<br />

Ronald's wife and stick to that<br />

with all your soul. 'Tis one <strong>of</strong><br />

the fortunes <strong>of</strong> war in a way. Renumber<br />

now! Ye become his wife<br />

before he wint to the war. Ye<br />

must be firm and,' beyond this, ye<br />

must be silent.. And if it should<br />

be that any come tryin' to destroy<br />

the good name that ye must cherish<br />

with care from now on—if<br />

there should I say, but I've a<br />

hunch there won't- be many in<br />

Typica so low down as to do it—<br />

ye will come very quietly and till<br />

me <strong>of</strong> it, and with the Lord's hilp<br />

I'll talk to thim a bit and mebby<br />

give thim a good swift kick or<br />

two, I dunno. Take up the b'y,<br />

Lily May—he's whimperin' for his<br />

mother—and we'll be goin' home."<br />

Little by little, as old Dan spoke,<br />

the girl's " shoulders straightened<br />

and the expression upon her worn<br />

face changed from the darkness <strong>of</strong><br />

despair to the light <strong>of</strong> new hope.<br />

As he finished and stood silently<br />

waiting, she threw her arms<br />

about his grizzled neck.<br />

"I—I can stand , ' f .—now—<br />

whatever happens," she sobbed.<br />

"God must have—kept you—<br />

there in the rain tonight—till I<br />

came."<br />

Dan gently loosed her hands<br />

from about his neck. "Come, Lily<br />

May," he said in a voice that<br />

shook queerly ; we 11 go on our way, yon<br />

and me, doin' the bist we can."<br />

They passed out into the storm, the girl<br />

holding the bundle tightly to her breast<br />

At the house <strong>of</strong> her father Dan left her,<br />

waiting to see the door opened and closed<br />

again , and then went to his own home<br />

where his daughter Mary, nodding before<br />

an open fire, awaited him.<br />

"You are late, father."<br />

"Yis, darlin', I had to cut a tunnel in the<br />

rain." Dan tossed the day's paper to the<br />

laughing girl and removed his coat. Then,<br />

sitting before the fire , he took <strong>of</strong>f his shoes<br />

and stretched out his feet to the warmth.<br />

A silence followed, broken only by the<br />

rustle <strong>of</strong> the paper in the girl's hands, the<br />

snapping <strong>of</strong> a match as Dan lighted his<br />

pipe, the muffled beat <strong>of</strong> the storm upon<br />

the windows and the ro<strong>of</strong>.<br />

Presently the girl sighed. "Here's another<br />

name we know in the casualty list,<br />

father; Ronald Dean—died from disease."<br />

"Yis," said old Dan looking hard at the<br />

fire , "I noticed it."
