n what becomes of the summer mill
1inery7 JUS how many hats are laid
away properly for future use? Few wom-
en- can afford an entirely new set of
hats for each season, and even If her
next summer millinery be OF the prettiest
variety. which the shops afford, she will
need her second best for unimportant
occasions.
This is the time of year to think of
the needs of summer millinery in the
line of caretaking, When the summer
hat is put aside for a winter season it
should be with a view to future useful
ness. The reason that many a piece of
straw headgear it fit for nothing when
warm weather works its way around
again, is because it is badly cared for
when discarded, or not cared for at ALL
Thrown into some clothes chest without
brushing or cleaning, or squeezed into
bandbox with several others.
There are two theories concerning the
care of summer hats in winter time. One
h-ousekeeper will tell you to strip the hat
and lay it away devoid Of trimmings.
Another woman will say to leave the gar
niture untouched.
Both ways are useful If well carried
out. Putting the hat way untrimmed
win especially appeal to the feminine
who is possessed of deft fingers and an
eye for designing. In whatever way 1t
is treated. however, the millinery should
be laid away thoroughly clean. If the
trimming is removed, the straw should
be well brushed and even wiped with
a cloth slightly dampened. The brim
should be Strengthened SO far as possible
by means of the hands. or by weights
laid upon it. In the bandbox it should
be so arranged that each part Of the
brim lies fatty upon the floor of the box
Tissue paper is excellent for the pur-
pose of filling intervening spaces. The
paper should be new and stiff to prevent
tossing Of the hat, if the bandbox, for
any reason, be moved about
The trimmings also should be thorough
ly cleansed. The ribbons brushed, stains
and threads removed, and pressed with
an iron of moderate temperature. Arti-
fetal flowers also have accumulated dust,
and must be lightly whisked with a soft
hat brush. Leaves can be trimmed with
sharp scissors, and petals which have
become faded or discolered, retinted with
c~oloring matter and a camel's hair brush.
Every housekeeper should possess a
.millinery box'' of some variety. Into
this all manner OF hal trimmings ma be
placed for future use. Even old trim
mings which are not intended for i'm
mediate service if laid away cleansed
and cared for are sure to come in" later
on.
For few women can make one hat serve
for work days and Sundays through an
entire season. This is exceedingly poor
economy. Last season hats neatly
trimmed for everyday wear are the means
of keeping many a Sunday best" affair
IN p~restine freshness.
Feathers were considerably worn in
unmer hats this year. And in putting
away feathers especial care should be
used. Mice are real enemies to plumes,
aigrettes and everything Of the species.
And dust allowed to tai a winter
through in the fluffy depths of the finest
ostrich plume is sure to take steps toward
its destruction.
The curling of feathers is a sealed
book to many a woman who is other
