When You Clea:
Your Gloves
cleaning gloves. both kid and
chamois and fabric.
The fabric need only washing
in luke—warm soapy water, rinsing
in clear water. and drying. But
the soap must be mild. the water
must be neither too warm nor too
cold. the rinsing must be thorough.
and the drying be accomplished
quickly.'but not in the sun nor
in intense heat. _
As for kid gloves. gasoline is
the best cleasing fluid for them.
the chief objection to it is its on-
pleasant odor. And there are some
commercially prepared cleaners
that have not such a bad odor as
gasoline which are. too. quite
satisfactory. But you can get rid
of the odor of gasoline. no matter
how strong it is.
To begin with. lave plenty of
gasoline. Lay the gloves to be
washed in a shallow dish and pour
gasoline over them. If you have
a wooden glove finger. insert this
in anger after finger. and go over
it with a piece of absorbent cotton
dipped in fresh gasoline. If you
haven't a finger. or a smooth
round piece of wood that will

Then dipthe'gloveagain in the
gasoline. and go over with a soft

then rubbed with map. After this.
rinse. in clear gasoline. Fold in a
clegn. thick cloth and rub out as
much of the gasoline as possible
