A shoe-shine Is a convenient
method of making a pair of shoes
look less old than they actually
are. Hhtncs may be classified as
commercial and domestic. The
commercial operation Is performed
in what Is known as a parlor by
vlrtuo of the fact that It contains
chairs and one comic weekly which
would be a delight to any Bertlllon
expert.
A commercial shine ordinarily
costs a dime, with a nickel udded,
which entitles you to three swipes
with a whlskbroom and a word of
thanks. The end list ry represents
a monopoly shared by Greece and
Africa. You may take your choice
of listening to repartee that in
spired tho two black crows or of
seizing an opportunity to brush up
on the clusslcs. An Invitation to a
friend to come and have a "shine
on you" In at ways a welcome
though modest attention.
The domestic shine, on the other
hand. Is performed In the sanctity
of the home by the person wearing
the shoes. It, therefore, provides
a test of skill not unlike that of a
surgeon attempting an operation
upon himself. The process of Ret
ting round to the heel requires no
little technique, to say nothing of
,ubdomlnal muscles that are not
readily given to cramp. The do
mestic shine also Is useful for solv
ing tho problem of what to do
with old tooth brushes. The pro
fessional appearance of a home
made shine has become increas
ingly difficult to acquire with Hie
popularity of bright socks that
show up every false stroke. How
ever, such errors may be mude
less conspicuous by fmiudglng- In
the stroke with the fingers.
It should not be forgotten that
leaving a tin of polish open causes:
Its deterioration. Therefore, ailer
each use the top should bo pressed ;
down, uffordini no little Interest
In the puzale of getting It open
again.
In view of the fact that you
yourself furnish the labor, the
domestic shine Is much chenpor
than the commercial. That Is, If
you don't get polish Into the best
rug Inrtead of on your hoe.
