Washing Leather Gloves

It's always true that a woman's fashion sense can best be judged' by the accessories she wears. l

Her dress or suit may not re- flect the latest trend: it may even be a bargain basement special. But she makes her fashion repu- tation with her sensc of color and line and her accessories - the right bag. the right shoes. the; right gloves. 1

Gloves have become increasing- l,v important, not just as some- thing to be held in the hand. but to be worn. There are new tech- niques and styling for fabric gloves, and very new improve- ments for leather gloves.

FAVORED LEATHER

Pigskin is a favored leather this season; in fact, there's nothing smarter for general wear and we've i even seen some exquisite white pig- : skin gloves for evening. On thel glove counters are beauties in oat-l meal. in oyster white. in caramel and in pastels, with plenty of pink and pale blue.

The secret of keeping looking its best is to spot-clean it as promptly as soil spots appear.

WASHABLE GLOVES

. Washable gloves. of course. can be dunked right into soap or de- tergent suds-thick suds and not too much water. Give them a brush-over lightly with a nai brush. rinse off the suds and blot with a clean towcl. Then smooth them out and lay flat to dry.

Belts or bags of washable leath- nr can be spot-cleaned with "dry" suds, which means very stiff suds made with lots ,of soap or deter- gent and very little water. Too much moisture tends to dry out the leather.

MEN'S GLOVES

ant or pastel colored knitted wristlcls to contrast with the glove and to match cither socks, sweater or tie.

Since most gloves for the men- folk are made for heavy duty and wear, hcre are a few tips on their care.

First. check to make sure you're buying washablcs.

SLIP ON HANDS

Then, when they need clcaiiing. slip the gloves onto your and work up a good lukewarm lather with soap or detergent, us- ing a haiid-washiiig motion so that each gloved hand washes the other gently and uithout rubbing.

A soft brush is good for cspe- cially soiled spots on the leather.

"Massaging" with well-sudscd fingers is better for the knitted wristlets When thcyirc clean on the right side, work the gloves off carefully from the wrist, turn them inside out and wash the wrong side. Rinse them in water of the same temperature.

Blot excess water in a turkish owel. then blow into the gloves to smooth out wrinkles and lay flat on a dry towel away from the heat to dry. Tissue paper or a spoon placed inside each glove will make them dry faster.

HOUSEHOLD HINT

If you break a bottle. be sure to get the tiny glass splinters off the floor. Use a piece of damp absor- bent cotton, or rub a damp bar of soap over the area where the glass has splintered.

If you use the soap method, shave off the surface of the soap to which the glass has adhered. Wrap the pcclings in paper and throw them away.

know that spring is on its way. Early blooming bulbs are a great joy at this time and here are bowls filled with blue Scillas, fra- grant Iiyacinths and golden Daf- fodils. The container means so much to the beauty that is pos- sible from colorful blooms. In the public library where so many could see them and enjoy them. was a lovely brown Jardinere with bronzy shades as a complement to the King Alfred daffodils which were grown from one large bulb. Woodsy moss in golden brown with sprays of Forsythia hung with yellow bells made a pleasing com- position for a wintry day. Grape hysclnths in blue spikes were lovcly in a beautifully cared for brass bowl with a wonderful shccn. ...This bowl was brought from France during the First World War by a nursing sister who was always on the lookout for flower containers to be used in some happy day when these lovely blue hyaclntlis might cheer all who had the good fortune to see them.

Lovely brown baskets were also found for the fragrant blue hyacin- lha now grown by this good gard- ener nnd flower arranger of beauty

The problem of containers for -flower arrzingcnienls is one that merits careful thought. One must considc the relationship of color, fonn, and texture in both contain- er and materials used.

I am working a five-day week myself. and sending our daughter to collcge with money I inherited from my mother. Also I am S8V'l ing enough money to give Dick at least two years' college educ- ation, without my husband's help.i But he doesn't appreciate that fact either ; Now do you think our boy should get another job? Or should he stay by the store and his dad without ,pu.v'.' . POSES A PROBLEM

llezir R.D: Your husband's at- titude. in the situation as describ- is more dependent than pro- .tt-ctive. in the matter of being a parent. Indirectly he is leaning on taking from him, rather than giving the boy a fath- erly boost in getting his growth. This performance, combined with his problem-drinking. indicates an- xiuus immaturity of character - which probably will invite more difficulties between father and son before the boy is established as a man in his own right.

As for what Dick should do: In the present circumstances, as I see the picture. Dick is beliziviiig with praisenortby manlincss Ifor 1a lad his agcl. and showing in- lstinctive decency. in accepting an lohligalion to help his dad at the store -- while. at the same time. suffering concern about his for- feited opportunities to make and save money systematically.

If Dick were a little older. if he had already reached his legal maj- ority, I think a just jury of busin- ess men would agree that he ought to be given a fair wage for his part-time services at the store - (ll as a fair trade practise: and (21 to al'firm the boy's self-respect.

All things considered. I think one has to strike a very delicate bal- ance, in helping Dick to see straight. and keep g r o w in g. through this trying period. It is my impression that Dick has a filial sympathy for his dad. and possibly -is unduly conscientious in try to shield him from public cri ' ism - in viorried awareness of his dad's weakness in dealing with life. Maybe also he carries a bur- den of distress tunconsciously) ii- bout your impatient quarrel with your husband's inadequacies -and tries to wear dad's shoes for him.

Whatever the inside story. it won't hurt Dick to bear the ex- isting arrangement a little longer, until he is of age. at least. The worst damage the situation could do him. now or permanently, is to beget a habit of self-pity.
