How to Clean Your Panama Hat.

In the September Woman's Home
Companion contributor tells, as fol-
lows, how to clean your Panama hat;
"You can clean your Panama, soiled
ments before putting it away for the
fall.
cleaning and provide yourself with a
nail brush and any good white soap,
ammonia, glycerine and hot water.
White soap is advised, as it does not
contain so much alkali as the heavier
soaps; ammonia has excellent bleaching
qualities, and the glycerine makes the
hat supple and glossy when dry and
cleaa. Use deep basin that will admit
of immersing the entire hat. Make
suds with the soap and water and rub
the hat gently with the brush, inside
and out. Now and again dip the hat
beneath the water and examine il for
any spots or stains.
"When it is clean rinse it in fresh
water of the temperature in which il
was scrubbed. In this rinsing water
put the ammonia, about a tablespoonful
TO each gallon of water. Rinse thor
oughly so every part of suds is removed.
Now measure tablespoonful of gly-
cerine to each quart Of the next and last
rinsing water. About two quarts of thu,
last water will suffice.
"Dip the hat up and down in this mix
ture and pour some of the glycerine wa
ter over il. Fold a Turkish towel and
lay the hat on it in the hot sunshine.
pat it into shape with the fingers, and
when almost dry turn it over so the
sun can reach every side. When dry it
will be like new again"
