OiIinq Shoes.

The best way to keep black leather
shoes from looking worn, and also
from breaking, is to dip a small fan
mel rag in olive oil and rub it into
the leather: if it needs further rub
bing or wiping, take fresh, dry flannel
rag and go over 1t. This method is
good for the woman in mourning, as
it keeps her footwear black without
polishing it, and provides dulled fin
ish.
