Are the gloves ing? Are hose spotless? It Isnt enough to have Just a new dress or a new suit Only when all the accessories are in Hourglass Coat Suede and doeskin gloves, suede landbags and shoes, all, can be brought back to life very readily with steaming and brushing. If youre freshening this type of glove, place on glove stretchers and hold near the steam iron, set at rayon, and move back and forth while the steam permeates the suede. While still damp, brush with a soft rubber sponge or a soft brush. This same method may be used on purses, except of course, they do not need any stretchers. When damp, brush as described above: An emery board may be used on worn spots to raise the nap. Suede shoes can be treated just as are handbags, except it is a good idea to try to remove any loose soil before the steaming. Their appearance can be improved even more if you touch up the edge of the sole and heel with sole dye. . perfect order, have you achieved good grooming. Fortunately good care can be given at home to accessories, provided you will learn just what needs to be done for each item, and then take the time to do it. You will, of course, give the attention to these details if you are interested in your appearance as a whole, or in good grooming, as its called which is perfection in such details as these. Few people can afford all new accessories each time they get a new dress or suit. Actually it isnt even necessary if you give your attention and tender, intelligent care to accessories you have and can use perfectly well. Constant attention, which may be brief, will add life to most accessories. It works much like the "stitch in time." Take, for example, a hat. A bit of brushing, steaming and cleaning fluid on the band will prevent it from becoming hopelessly soiled, a stage where it will most surely have to be replaced. Steam Aids Trimmings, Felt and Velvet Hats Much life and sparkle can be put Into hats as well as trimmings with steam. If youre using a steam iron, place It on the edge of the board so that the front hangs over. Set the dial for rayon. Hold the hat in the steam and turn slowly, steaming the entire crown.

Make certain that you do not get too much steam, and its moisture on the hat, or it will lose its shape and sizing. Flowers, feathers and ribbon bows can be freshened with steaming. Only a small amount . of steam should be given them, not enough to make them wet. In the case of ostrich feathers which have lost their curl, hold each strand to the steam, and then stretch with a spoon handle instrument. or other blunt-edge- d Veils which need stiffening can be treated to steam. Just holding the veil towards the steam iron or spout will do the trick. If the veil stands away from the face, shape it over crushed tissue paper before steaming. If you prefer, . veils can also be stiffened by placing between two pieces of waxed paper and then ironing over the paper. Very limp veils can be dipped in a solution made by mixing one tablespoon of gum arabic with one cup hot water. Let this dissolve; it takes about two hours. After dipping, press veil with warm iron. ...

If you are busy in them all day, do change to a fresh pair before going out. Foot perspiration as well as dyes may discolor hose and render them impossible to use except at a time when someone doesnt see you. Soil from both these sources, as well as whatever seeps in through the shoes can be dislodged usually when theyre washed immediately upon removing. If youve become discouraged at not receiving enough wear from hose, check some small habits which may add life to them. Keep the feet well groomed so there are no snags put in the hose as you roll them on. Toe nails should be filed and smooth. There should be no horny, dried skin around the heels or the ball of the foot to snag the stockings, either. Keep the nails smooth so they cannot injure the hose when you handle ting water on them in that case. Another precauion to remember is never to wash glover; which have ever been Frequent cleaning and washing of gloves is essential. In most instances gloves are quite fragile, and the hard rubbing required to remove soil from very dirty gloves often ruins them.

Straw dye is available for restoring color to any of these items; liquid shoe dye in the correct color might be substituted. For hats, use a hat mold to retain the shape of your bonnet.

Stubborn spots may be treated to extra cleaning with a very soft brush. Apply it very gently, however. When clean, roll the gloves gently off the hands and rinse in clear, lukewarm water. Pat out the excess moisture in the gloves on a thick towel. Then stretch the gloves gently into shape and blow into the gloves, into each finger to make them as straight and smooth as possible. Lay the gloves on an absorbent towel or place on glove stretcher for drying. When almost dry, finger press gently in both directions and place on hands to shape gently. If gloves are too dry for this," roll in a damp cloth for a few minutes. Fabric, knitted wool and string gloves may be washed by the above method.
