Repairing Gloves.

If a kid glove splits at the thumb or near a seam, a permanent way to repair it is to buttonhole it either side of the split, then sew the buttonhole edges together. The result will be a new, firm seam. When buttonholing be sure to take a good hold, otherwise the stitching will pull out from the kid. A delicious sandwich is made with honey pressed out of the comb and spread on thin slices of buttered bread; over this sprinkle chopped nuts.
