EASY WAY TO CLEAN YOUR
OWN OLD CHAMOIS
GLOVES AT HOME.

Many women like chamois gloves, but
they refrain from wearing them because
they do not know how TO wash and
care for them, and consequently find
the indulgence in their fancy rather
costly.
A girl who wears them a great deal
and 1inds them very satisfactory, says:
Il always wash my gloves myself,
using a half basin Of tepid water pure
white soap and one teaspoonful OF
sweet oil. How do I keep them from
shrinking? Well first L rub them in
the ordinary way, then / put them on
and scrub the seams with a small hand
brush. IF very dirty I use two waters
for the washing. The rinsing. however.
is the main point. and / always use
tepid water. adding TO it a teaspOonful
Of sweet oil.
The drying process Is tedious. so It is
n good idea 10 keep two pairs on the go,
and let each pair get thoroughly dry
after the laundering process. While
drying, L let them hang by the wrists,
and when dry crash softly between my
hands to soften them"
