,atent Leather Precepts.

Patent leather shoes and boots need special care to keep them nice When they are fresh and new they should be wiped after every wearing and put away in some place. secure from dust where the air is neither too hot nor too cold Extremes of temperature injure the leather. When the shoes begin to show signs of wear they should be wiped with a sponge and warm water, and, after being carefully dried. should be brushed over lightly with patent leather varnish sold for the purpose. Remember never to put patent leather near the fire, for the heat is very likely to era. K it.
