Washing Chamois Gloves.

It Is remarkable how nicely chamois gloves come out if they are washed properly with tepid water on the hands. Use white soap and rub it on plentifully, squeeze carefully and be sure you rinse them so as to get out all the dirt. Have the last water soapy. Take off the hands and put gently in a dry towel. Then place on the hands again and, as it is difficult to get them on wet, take a piece of clean white cloth and rub each finger on and they will go on with surprising ease. Mold them to the hands and arms, remove carefully and hang them over the fire by safety pins, rubbing them gently as they dry so they will not get stiff. If washed in this way they will be soft and pliable and as good as new. Be sure and mend before washing.
