Book 2 — To Hold a Straw Hat on the Head
Reading edition
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.
