Oyelng a Felt Hat
To the Editor Of Wonan'e poo,,

To the Editor Of Womdn'S Page:
Dear Madam i would like 70 ask
your advice IN dyeing an orchid -colored
felt hat black. The hat is very good
style, but IL faded and so!led How
must ! go about dyeing It? mean,
must ] stuff the crown with paper and
must wet the whole hat first?
MRS. T. w. c.
You are undertaking somewhat Of a
difficulty when you start to dye a felt
hat In the first place. the hat must
be blocked on stun paper, newspaper
rolled up Is best. and then 1t must be
wet all over first. Do this with a
brush or by sprtnkltng. but be sure the
hat is thoroughly wet. a long hatpin
thrust through the crown TO hold the
hat firmly on its block will be great
help, II the head IL not pushed too far
In to keep the dye from covering that
place. Then plunge the hat into the
hot dye. let II stay for n few minutes
lift II out with two sticks and let the
cold water run on IT, Then place It on
paper on the floor. or, better still
rest It on an upturned bowl or pan
that will touch Just the newspaper and
not the hat, And, above all things
don't set your heart on that black hat
because IL may not come out right
Home dyeing OF hats is always n ven
a velour or duvetyn. The danger Is in
getting an uneven dye and in having
tho hat assume a stiffness that Is hard
to soften. The unnatural sickness OF
the nap may be overcome by brushing
tho hat well with a stiff brush as soon
as II dries. Good luck to you ] hope
II turns out we'll.
