The perfect shoe polish has at last
been discovered, says an alleged au-
thority, and just in time too, for fem
mime patience with prepared polish
which cracks the leather is abou t ex-
hausted. This polish can be made
ut home, and is as ridiculonsly
cheap MS it lie simple. Mix cosmo-
line and lamp black(for a nickle you
can get enough to last you FIVE
years) in equal parts and apply
lightly with an old tooth brush or
soft rag and have you a polish
which lasts you. for days, and moi
only gives the shoe the appearance
Of newness but actutually preserves
the leather. No one who has used it
ever goes back to the manufactured
polishes, which are d~isagreeable,
shiny and ruinous to the leather.
