Save Old Felt Hats

Rip the binding and bands from discarded felt hats and cut the brim from the crown. Next cut a circular piece from the top and cut the side crown so it can be flattened. Cover these pieces with a damp cloth and press them flat. Felt from even cheap hats has a great variety of uses, some of which are for insoles in felt slippers and rubber boots, to glue on the base of lamps and vases and on the feet of chairs to protect floors. The circular top is just right, when covered, to use for a holder. - Miss O. S., New York, N. Y.
