Leather Chairs.

For improving shabby leather chairs take one pint of linseed oil, boll it and let it stand until nearly cold, then stir in half a pint of vinegar. Stir till thoroughly mixed, then bottle for use.

| When needed shake the bottle well, pour a very little on a soft flannel cloth, rub thoroughly into the leather, turning the flannel as it gets dirty, then rub with a soft duster till the polish of the leather is restored. This ' polish softens the leather and prevents it from cracking. I Delicate satin coverings may be cleaned fresh and only the crumb of the soft part used. Rub between the hands until thoroughly crumbled and , rub over the satin with swift, smooth strokes, changing the crumbs as soon as they grow discolored.
