To Hold a Straw Hat on the Head

The Rubber Bands are Linked Like a Lock Stitch and Fastened in the Band

On windy days it is almost impossible to make a straw hat stay on the head. To avoid this trouble, place rubber bands through the sweatband. Before inserting, make them into loops, as shown, and draw enough to be comfortable to the head. This device will save a good many steps when the wind blows.—Contributed by T. D.
