Pointers for Perkier Hats
BY EPSIE KINARD
NEA Staff Writer

NEW YORK.. - our spring bonnet
will need a lot more care than most
of those you've bought in the past,
for this years hats aren't wired
for even the slightest banging about.
l. Brush a fabric or felt after
wearing with a soft brush "a straw
with a stiffer brush) and put your
hat away in a box, cushioned with
tissues. II the hat is fabric, stuff
and shroud it with tissues and lay
it upside down to preserve its out
lines.
2. If there's yelling, put your
hat away on hat stand on closed
shelf and give it plenty of room.
When the veil grows limp, re-starch
it by placing over it sheet of
waXed paper-the kind you have
in the kitchen or can peel off a
cracker boX-and press it with a
warm iron.
g. If prickly feathers bend or
flower petals fold, put them near
the spout of steaming kettle and
iron them out with your fingers.
Recurl a limp ostrich feather by
winding it arouIlG a pencil and
holding it over Tie steam.
