WHAT TO DO WITH GLOVES from Nancy Taylor’s Beauty Guide Flower Lane Publishing Company, 1958 The manner in which you carry your gloves can not only rumple your gloves, but your appearance. And the correct method of putting gloves on and taking them off can save a lot of wear and tear on both your nerves and your gloves. Study the following information and begin to handle your gloves in the poised, neat manner of the well-groomed lady. And remember, a lady always wears both gloves, not just one. Putting On Gloves Slip your hand down into the glove, and pull it on by grasping the glove. If the gloves are snug, smooth the fingers on carefully by starting at the fingertips and smoothing toward the palm. Never push between the fingers. Removing Gloves Don't grasp the cuff and pull your gloves off, turning them inside out in the process. This leaves you with the unpleasant job of righting them again, and can stretch the gloves out of shape. Do pull gently at the tips of each finger, until you can hold the fingertips of the glove, free of your fingers, and slide your hand out easily. How To Hold Your Gloves After you have removed your gloves, ease away the creases by gently stretching the length and width of the gloves to reshape them. Now, fold the thumb of each glove in, and press the two gloves together, palms turned toward each other- fingertips placed even with fingertips, cuff even with cuff. It should look as if you were holding one glove. With the cuff end facing out, fold the gloves over the side of your hand, between the forefinger and thumb, and hold them securely in place with your thumb. If the gloves are the long variety, fold them in half lengthwise, and place folded part out.
