Choosing a hat suited TO ones par
ticular style Of beauty and which
harmOnizes with the entire wardrobe
and will be suitable for any occasion
will help reduce the annual millinery
bill.
Oftentimes we fail to realize that
hats are perfshable articles Of wear
ing apparel and should be handled
with care when putting on or when
removing from the head. Without
question, intelligent care prOlOngs
their life. Like other garments, they
should be aired and brushed, and II
Is we'll even for those worn daily to
be put into boxes when removed from
the head. A soft brush or q piece Of
silk or velvet is excellent TO use for
cleaning felt, silk beaver, silk. satin
or velvet hats. Care should be given
when brushing to get the dust out
from under the edges Of bands, folds
and trimmings. silk or satin hats are
the most inexpensive in the long run,
for they can be worn the year round
Never allow trimmings, bows, bands
or Innings to become lOOsened; as soon
as you discover broken or loose
threads put in fresh stitches and keep
ornaments tackled in place. II you
