FOR
KEEPING
THE
WARDROBE
IN
ORDER.
TO
CLEAN
KID
GLOVES.--Make
a
strong
lather
with
curd
soap
and
warm
water,
in
which
steep
a
small
piece
of
new
flannel.
Place
the
glove
on
a
flat,
clean,
and
unyielding
surface--such
as
the
bottom
of
a
dish,
and
having
thoroughly
soaped
the
flannel
(when
squeezed
from
the
lather),
rub
the
kid
till
all
dirt
be
removed,
cleaning
and
resoaping
the
flannel
from
time
to
time.
Care
must
be
taken
to
omit
no
part
of
the
glove,
by
turning
the
fingers,
&c.
The
gloves
must
be
dried
in
the
sun,
or
before
a
moderate
fire,
and
will
present
the
appearance
of
old
parchment.
When
quite
dry,
they
must
be
gradually
"pulled
out,"
and
will
look
new.
ANOTHER.--First
see
that
your
hands
are
clean,
then
put
on
the
gloves
and
wash
them,
as
though
you
were
washing
your
hands,
in
a
basin
of
spirits
of
turpentine,
until
quite
clean;
then
hang
them
up
in
a
warm
place,
or
where
there
is
a
good
current
of
air,
which
will
carry
off
all
smell
of
the
turpentine.
This
method
was
brought
from
Paris,
and
thousands
of
dollars
have
been
made
by
it.
TO
CLEAN
COLORED
KID
GLOVES.--Have
ready
on
a
table
a
clean
towel,
folded
three
or
four
times,
a
saucer
of
new
milk,
and
another
saucer
with
a
piece
of
brown
soap.
Take
one
glove
at
a
time,
and
spread
it
smoothly
on
the
folded
towel.
Then
dip
in
the
milk
a
piece
of
clean
flannel,
rub
it
on
the
soap
till
you
get
off
a
tolerable
quantity,
and
then,
with
the
wet
flannel,
commence
rubbing
the
glove.
Begin
at
the
wrist,
and
rub
lengthways
towards
the
end
of
the
fingers,
holding
the
glove
firmly
in
your
right-hand.
Continue
this
process
until
the
glove
is
well
cleaned
all
over
with
the
milk
and
soap.
When
done,
spread
them
out,
and
pin
them
on
a
line
to
dry
gradually.
When
nearly
dry,
pull
them
out
evenly,
the
crossway
of
the
leather.
When
quite
dry,
stretch
them
on
your
hands.
White
kid
gloves
may
also
be
washed
in
this
manner,
provided
they
have
never
been
cleaned
with
India-rubber.
