STIFFENING A STRAW HAT.
If you want to stiffen a straw hat which has become limp, brush it over with a mixture made by dissolving a few drops of gum in a little vinegar. It is also a good plan to wire the brim with some very fine wire ; and a good black hat dye will work wonders with a black straw, but be sure that you choose a dve that will not '"run'' should you be caught in a shower.
