RENOVATE THEM GLOVES AND HANDBAGS Suede, kid and other leather gloves and handbags are often un- j necessarily discarded through want of knowledge as to th»*best method of treatment for removing dirt and

discolouration. The first essential is to give early treatment, as any form of treatment may be impossible if left too long. Suede gloves, handbags, and shoes can be effectively treated and renovated by rubbing with steel-wool, such as is used for cleaning aluminium. It raises.the pile and is.less

destructive than a wire brush. ' Gloves made of washing suede (which is a fabric, and not a leather) should never have soap rubbed on them. Wash them on the hands in warm water and dry slow- . ly, never dry by the fire or in the sun; or the gloves will become stiff and harsh to the touch.
