Shaping Silk Hat Brims.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The nail OF his right forefinger was long,
yellow, horney and the fingertip had SO
thickened and hardened that it seemed TO
be covered with pale leather.
lie was a silk hat maker, and 1t was
from curling hat brims that his finger had
changed so strangely. Describing the pro-
cesses of a silk hats manufacture. he said:
THE belief that cardboard forms silk
hats foundation is an error. The hat is
first built up of various thcknesses of linen
layers of linen soaked in shellac that by
means of wooden molds and hot irons
weighing twenty pounds apiece are welded
one on the other till a perfect shape, brim
and all complete. is obtained:
THE silk is next put on. This silk costs
from SO to SIS a yard 1t looks like plush
in the piece The hatmaker cuts 1t on the
bias and molds 1t round the stin linen foun-
dation. The strips must be very accurately
cut, and great care is needed in their IRON
ing and cementing so as to give a perfect
diagonal joint. Look at your silk hat s
seam the next time you wear 1t. The joint
perfection will perhaps amaze you.
1.-The brim, up to this point. Is fiat. Now
It's curling commences. That Is where my
queer forefnger comes in. The shaping of a
hat brim is purely a matter of hand and
eve and taste The brim, while being shap-
ed. is highly heated SO as to give 1t plia-
bility.
terial. patting and prodding it, the forefinger
thickens and the nail gets horny.
Nevertheless, hat curling Is pleasant,

What is Needed.
For instance one girl who is a stenog-
rapher comes home each night with u
heavy or aching head caused by inactivity
OF the liver. The best thing she can do Is
10 join n gymnastic class and two or three
times a week. after going through one or
two preliminary exercises given to the
members take her special work on the
horizontal bar Swinging back and forth
with the body suspended only from the
hands brings the force Of the movement
directly on the liver and gives 1t n good
stirring up.
Perhaps the fatigue of a seamstress GEN.
ters I'm her eyes. Her semi-weskly visit TO
n gymnasium is for high jumping. Very
low bars at first get her into the knack and
pleasure of this form OF exercise, and as
she gradually jumps higher the excitement
and complete change make her forget she
has any eyes and restore her nerves TO
normal condition.
After standing in a shop or waiting on a
customer all day the gymnasium offers the
sales clerk a complete rest in the rowing
machines and the swimming pool.
Thus each girl finds some special line OF
