TO WASH CHAMOIS GLOVES

Directions for Cleaning Fragile Articles Which Will Be Well Worth Remembering. .t —* ' In washing chamois gloves do not wring them or even squeeze very dry as with ordinary glove cleaning. The skins pull easily and wringing breaks the tender fabric. Put the rinsed gloves into a thick Turkish towel and press out the moisture, then hang them in a strong current of air to dry. Fasten the pair together by buttons and hang with fingers down. The shrinking, of which many women complain in chamois glove washing, can be overcome by drying the gloves on the hand, after they come from the Turkish towel and a few minutes’ airing. Rub gently until dry. The heat of the hand makes this drying a“quicker process than most women Imagine, and there is little danger of taking cold. * Do not neglect rinsing as well as washing in soapy water, if you do not wish your gloves to stiffen.
