To Stiffen Ribbon
Dear Aunt Daisy, With regard to the lady’s request as to how to stiffen the ribbon of a Salvation Army bonnet, her idea of pressing with wax paper will help, but with a ribbon of such heavy quality, I doubt that it will benefit very much. As a milliner, I would suggest this listener purchase a tin of "Stiffener" (either ribbon or straw), which should be available from any "Do It Yourself" hat-bars in the bigger stores. Attach one end of the ribbon to bench or table by a pin and paint the ribbon on both sides; allow to dry. Pressing is then unnecessary, as this tends to make the ribbon shiny.-D D., Mt Albert
