Spots on Gloves

Can you tell me what will take spots
out of tan kid gloves and what is the
cause of the spots that have appeared?
MAGGIE NJ"
The spots are caused by dampness.
The gloves have probably been kept in
a place that was not quite dry or they
have not had waxed or tissue paper laid
between the different pairs. Kid is sus-
ceptable to humidity. Unless you have
the marred gloves dyed 1 am afraid
there is no redress for the mischief.

There need be no publicity in the legal
adoption of the baby. All that is needed
is a written renunciation of all claim
to the child on the part of the natural
guardians or the officials of the insti
tuition from which it is taken. This
paper must be attested to in the pres
enee of a lawyer and signed by him. The
person adopting the infant may keep
the transaction as secret as she likes.
