Rain-soaked Leather
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you tell me a way of treating gloves to preserve the sheen of the leather? Constant soaking and consequent drying in these southern blizzards makes gloyés dull and shabby-looking. "Baffled Bachelor," Dunedin. Try rubbing in a little neatstoog oil, or good shoe-cream. | Don’t dry them near a fire, or too fast. You need two pairs, so that ope pair is always ready. I would also suggest the white emulsion which I find so good for my own shoes and leather handbags. I can send you the trade-name if you send me a stamped envelope.
