As soon as the soap has been absorbed, polish lightly 

 with a soft cloth or chamois leather. 



Saddlery should never be stored without first receiving- 

 a thorough dressing of palm oil or dubbing. I person- 

 allv prefer the former, as dubbing darkens the leather 

 too much, for which reason it is an excellent thing to 

 use for toning downi new saddler}^. Either may be 

 purchased at any tallow-chandlers". 



Avoid drying leather by artificial heat ; avoid soakins: 

 it ; and, above all, avoid putting it away dirty or allow- 

 ing it to become hard.
