After a while raincoats have way of letting the dampness through in certain places, but it is quite easy to set the matter right in the following manner: Secure a small) lump of beeswax and spread the raincoat on a flat surface, wrong side upwards. Now rub the material with the wax until the surface appears to have taken on a gray tint. When the area has been treated in this manner, hold a sheet of brown paper over the spot, and then press with a hot iron. This melts the beeswax and makes it pass into every fiber of the cloth. The raincoat will then be weatherproof.
