Often an overcoat, that is otherwise in

A good condition, is rendered unsightly and shabby by its collar. If it be crushed badly and wrinkled, heat the flatiron, and put bottomside up on the table. Over it put a clean rag wet in cold water and lay the velvet collar right side up over this. While the steam from the wet cloth rises through the nap of the velvet, brush with a soft hat brush, being careful to brush the " right way of the velvet." This restores it beautifully, and makes it good as new.
