To Clean Kid Gloves.

Take little sweet milk and a piece
of white or brown soap. Fold a clean
towel three or four times, spread 1t
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon It. Take large
piece of white flannel dip 1t in the
milk. then rub it upon the soap and
rub the glove downward toward the
fingers, holding the wrist of 1t by the
left hand Continue this process until
the glove, if white, looks of dingy
yellow, but, If colored, looks dark and
entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and
then put it on your hand, and 1t will
be soft smooth, glossy and clean.
Take care. however, to omit no part
of the glove in rubbing it and see that
all the soiled parts are thoroughly
cleaned. This process applies only to
white and colored kid gloves For
black gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take a
teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few
drops of ink into 1t, and rub it all over
the gloves with the tip of feather;
then let them dry in the sun. White
kid boots and slippers can also be
cleaned by the first process to look
las good as new" and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.
