THE WONDER OF MILK
Milk can be used for cleaning kid gloves. Heat a little in an old pan and add a few shavings of some neutral soap, stirring until the soap is thoroughly dissolved. Pull the glove on to the hands, then apply the mixture with a piece of flnanel. A little fresh milk added to tko last rinsing water when washing white silk will help to restore the gloss while ironing. The original whiteness of linen and calico can be restored by boiling the article or garment for about half an hour in some milk in which a good amount of shredded soap has been dissolved. Afterward wash and rinse in the usual way, adding a tiny pinch of blue to the last rinsing water.
