When brown shoes darken more than is liked, a liquid polish will often remedy, matters. Add a little turpentine to it, and rub the mixture well .into, the leather. Polish with a duster and. then a eleau pad of brown velvet.* | * * * [ Velvet must be ironed over the iron Iso as not to crush the pile. The best way is to get someone to hold a hot iron upwards while you draw the velvet backwards and forwards along the hot surface. Keep the velvet well stretched, and go over every piece carefully till the. pile stands up well. * * •* • Never poke a fire from the top. Insert the poker at the bottom and raise gently; This causes a draught, and makes the tiro burn brightly. But it is well in these days to make it a rule to poke the fire as seldom as you can, for the more you poke it the more quickly will -the coal burn away.
