iceIanders' Gloves.

In so cold climate as Iceland the
glove must be put off or on as rapidly
and easily as possible: so it is made
without fingers, and in order that no
time may be wasted in distinguishing
between right and left all gloves have
two thumbs. You simply thrust your
hand into the first glove that comes
and your thumb Immediately finds its
way. There are, of course, draw
backs in the matter of appearance,
for the dangling idle thumb looks un.

To clean an iron the implement Is
rubbed over the oil-soaked cloth till
the rust on it is softened. 1t is then
rubbed over the corrugated metal and
the surface cleared of grit as far as
the corrugations can do this. The final
polishing is done with dry flannel
cloth. The box is made with the two
parts hinged so that they can be folded
up when it is not in use and will not
take up so much room.
