DRYING A TWEED COAT.

Wet weather brings a dozen worries in its wake. Here is a hint on h‘ow to dispose of one. A tweed or cloth coat that has been soaked through should be hung at full length on a hanger, and its shoulders and sleeves stuffed with paper, which will help it in the drying. Hang it up in as warm a room as you can, hut not too near The fire, for too quick steaming is liable to make it shrink. When it is all but dry press with a fairly hot iron. Put. a piece of thin muslin between the iron and the material, and the latter will look as good as new.
