DRYING A TWEED COAT.
Wet weather brings a dozen worries *in its wake. Here is a hint on how 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, but 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.
