Fashion and Care of the Home
FOR SOILED WHITE GLOVES.
Preventing Their Turning Yellow In
Misunderstanding White Shoes.

AS it is the prevailing custom for
women to wear white gloves for the
street for almost any and all occa-
sions. many womel in summer wear
white silk. as they: are cooler than kid
and 4 easily. be washed. But there
Is one thing that Is most annoying in
washing them-they are sure to turn
yellow after one or two washings.
However. this can he prevented. Try
this method: Make Il good suds Of
white soap and barely lukewarm wa
ter. Wash the gloves in it, but do not
on any account rub soap on them.
Then rinse them through three clear
waters. to the last water adding a few
drops OF bluing. Wrap them in a Turk
ish towel and wiring all the water out
Of them. Then hang them on q rack
to dry-uever under any circumstances
in the sun if you would keep them
white. If this process is followed your
white gloves will stay white till they
are worn out. It is Il good idea to re-
member. too. in buying white silk
gloves that they shrink in washing. so
1t pays to buy a half size larger than
one is accustomed to wearing.
White shoes should be rubbed with
powdered pumice and q bit Of absorb
ent cotton after each time they are
