Glove Care.

To mend gloves, ent away all fagged edges and buttonhole firmly with cotton thread the sides to be mended. Thein bring the two edges together and buttonhole them again. Gloves mended In this Way will stand the hardest wear afterwards. It the fastener pulls out of a glove, leaving a hole behind, pull out the opposite fastener and work this gap into a buttonhole. Find a button that matches the glove as nearly as possible, pass a narrow piece of tape through the eyes of the button or ait the back, so that the- ends hang even. Pass these ends through the hole made by the fastener, spread -them flat to that they lie in opposite directions at the end of the glove opep,mg, and sew them firmly. When putting gloves away, simply pull them gently into shape and lay them flat If desired, talcum powder may be lightly dusted in them to absorb the n r-piratlon from the hands.
