Have
ready
a
little
new
milk
in
one
saucer,
and
a
piece
of
brown
soap
in
another,
and
a
clean
cloth
or
towel
folded
three
or
four
times.
On
the
cloth,
spread
out
the
glove
smooth
and
neat.
Take
a
piece
of
flannel,
dip
it
in
the
milk,
then
rub
off
a
good
quantity
of
soap
to
the
wetted
flannel,
and
commence
to
rub
the
glove
downwards
towards
the
fingers,
holding
it
firmly
with
the
left
hand.
Continue
this
process
until
the
glove,
if
white,
looks
of
a
dingy
yellow,
though
clean;
if
coloured,
till
it
looks
dark
and
spoiled.
Lay
it
to
dry;
and
old
gloves
will
soon
look
nearly
new.
They
will
be
soft,
glossy,
smooth,
well-shaped,
and
elastic.

Preserving
the
Colour
of
Dresses.
The
colours
of
merinos,
mousseline-de-laines,
ginghams,
chintzes,
printed
lawns,
&c.,
may
be
preserved
by
using
water
that
is
only
milk
warm;
making
a
lather
with
white
soap,
before
you
put
in
the
dress,
instead
of
rubbing
it
on
the
material;
and
stirring
into
a
first
and
second
tub
of
water
a
large
tablespoonful
of
oxgall.
The
gall
can
be
obtained
from
the
butcher,
and
a
bottle
of
it
should
always
be
kept
in
every
house.
No
coloured
articles
should
be
allowed
to
remain
long
in
the
water.
They
must
be
washed
fast,
and
then
rinsed
through
two
cold
waters.
In
each,
rinsing
water
stir
a
teaspoonful
of
vinegar,
which
will
help
to
brighten
the
colours;
and
after
rinsing,
hang
them
out
immediately.
When
ironing-dry
(or
still
a
little
damp),
bring
them
in;
have
irons
ready
heated,
and
iron
them
at
once--as
it
injures
the
colours
to
allow
them
to
remain
damp
too
long--or
sprinkle
and
roll
them
up
in
a
cover
for
ironing
next
day.
If
they
cannot
be
conveniently
ironed
immediately,
let
them
hang
till
they
are
quite
dry,
and
then
damp
and
fold
them
on
the,
following
day,
a
quarter
of
an
hour
before
ironing.
