EVERYDAY HELPS IN HOME

When kid gloves begin to tear bring the tear together and stick a piece of adhesive plaster on the inside of glove under the torn part. It is a good idea to stick the plaster on before the kid is torn through. Whenthe glove begins to breaks if the plaster is put on it will never be noticed. When rubbers wear out at the sides take a piece of rubber from a discarded rubber, place over the hole on the inside, cut a piece of adhesive plaster larger than the rubber patch and stick on. It will wear a long time and the rubber will not leak. Baby shoes most always wear out at the ankle joint. By taking a piece of kid from an old glove or an old shoe the baby shoe can be made to wear a long time by mending it the same way as the rubbers. The plaster must be quite a bit larger than the patch, so as to keep It in place.
