WASHABLE GLOVES Chamois and doeskin gloves shrink if not kindly treated, but it is simple to produce a new pair after every wash. Lukewarm water, plenty of soapsuds, and on your own hands, wash them by squeezing the hands together, and just rubbing the tips of the fingers, or where they are soiled. Rinse them again in warm soapy water, squeeze out as much as you can, and then put a spot of salad oil in the palm of each gloved hand, and then rub well over the gloves. Then remove from the hands, put them in a towel, and squeeze as much moisture out as possible. Dry in a moderate heat, and keep pulling and stretching at intervals to save shrinkage.
