Mending Gloves.

The safest and best way to mend gloves that have ripped at the seams or split across the back or palm is to carefully buttonhole the edges of the tear with fine silk matching exactly the color of the kid. After both sides of the rent are buttonholed, catch the stitches together through the center, sewing over and over and taking up each stitch. By using this method the glove will never tear out again at the same place. It also makes a neat finish.
