Soiled Coat Collars
Dear Aunt Daisy,
My query is a two-fold one-how can a bad grease-mark on the collar of a gabardine coat be removed successfully? And how can the appearance of such a mark be prevented on a new ‘gabardine coat. I would be very grateful for a hint from you or from one of your "Links." Yours sincerely, Mrs. C. (Dannevirke). We find the most effective. way to clean the ¢ollars of our costume-coats is to rub them with a clean white rag moistened with pure turpentine. This will not stain or leave a ring, and should be just as suitable for gabardine. The only way I know of preventing a new coat from becoming soiled is to wear a scarf or a washable collar over it to prevent the collar trom coming into contect with the back of the neck and the hair.
