After wearing new boots or shoes for a day or two. apply with a flat brush an even coating of mastic varnish to the soles and heels. Let it soak in thoroughly and dry. Repeat the process from time to time and the hardened sole will outwear the uppers. When having upholstered cushions stuffed for the window-seat or divan, or when upholstering a chair, it is a wise precaution to ask the upholsterer to make an extra number of buttons. This costs no more at the time of making if the request is made when the price is agreed upon. Buttons often pull loose, and a good piece of furniture is thus frequently disfigured.
