To Clean White Gloves

To the Editor OF WondR's Page.
Dear Madam-Would you please tell me how
white kid gloves can be cleaned and also how
forget self con sciousnessl
STEADY READER.
Gasoline cleans white gloves. but il Is
very dangerous to use and must be kept
away from the fire or from intense heat A
safe rule Is to use II in the daytime at an
open window In using gasoline put the
glove on the hand and dip entirely In the
fluid, then rub the spots with a clean rag
There are on the market glove-cleaning
nuids that are not infiammable and are safe
TO use. In my opinion It is Infinitely better
TO buy one OF these. which are sold In drug
stores. than to take the risk of using the
gasoline.
Tho second part of your question will be
answered In one of the leading articles that
appear at the top Of this column.
