Show vNEW IDEAS By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Jr pEMINTNE headgear usually holds its shape best if it rests right side up on a stand that fits inside the crown, but this is not true of a man's hat. Its dashing lines may be preserved by placing plac-ing it upside down in a holder. All of which is worth remembering remember-ing when you are fixing up "his" closet or even when you are generously gen-erously preparing to share a small corner of your own. The man's hat box, shown here, is covered on the outside with maroon ma-roon and blue cotton print and L - -i PASTE PLflirt FABRIC f".; - INSIDE AMD FIGURED OUTSIDE 55!,. lis JNs-""S, f WITH yf 'S CUT J S RUBBER CEMETfrVX cardboardVS" BOTH SIDES OF TO FIT vEDGES AMD TKE OUTSIDE C iBACK OF BIAS HAT CT TAPE -LET DRY CROWN , T AMD THEN PLACE Cjr Ra-TAPE OYER EDGE ,,KnT 1 1 J AND PRESS WITH lined with blue chambray. The lid and the front of the box are hinged with adhesive tape before the covering cov-ering is pasted on with stiff paste. The stand is made of cardboard, as shown in the sketch, and is covered to match the box. The maroon bias tape edging of the stand is cemented in place in a way that you may find useful in making many other things. The secret is in spreading the cement evenly on both surfaces, letting it dry, and then vulcanizing the two together with the heat of the pressing press-ing iron.'
