Are your hands your maids -ofall -work ?
jiUne are bid I do lit let them tell hmiseclcniiiiui tnles !

Tlie last tinie our hrid^'e cliih met, JaneL — started talkinjiahoiit hands. Tier liands— not bridge liantis!
Jane is almost a hrand-now bride, so she had to toll us all aliout her first liouseeleaninu'. "My woodwork's spotless," she sighed, "but look at my i)oor red hands ! 1 feel like sitting on them to keep them out of sight."
But Jane's not the only woman who talks that way. I did, too, when I thouglit I had to use a strong soap. Thank goodness, I finally learned that hard work doesn't need a harsh soap!
Maybe your problem is like Jane's and mine. You're happy to be taking care of a home and a husband and children — but goodness, you still are a woman — you want to have nice-looking hands.
Then won't you try this plan ? For a week or two do all your work — yes, even your Monday wash I — w ith the purest soap and the mildest soap that you know. (Of course, that's Ivory.) And then watch the improvement in your hands!
-V cake of Ivory or a box of Ivory Flakes goes right beside every faucet in my house. In the bathroom Ivory is the first thing my baby reaches for. To her, it means the fun of her daily bath. To me, its gentle care of her marvelous skin proves how pure Ivory is.
But in the kitchen or laundry Ivory does three things for me which no other one soap can do. Its rich mild suds clean just as thoroughly as Jane's yellow soap. But they pnAevl while they ch'an — why, my
painted woodwork and the linoleum and my colored clothes keep as bright looking as new. And — washing dishes or cleaning the bathroom or putting wool blankets through suds is nothing more to my hands than a gentle Ivory bath.
That's why Jane's eyes grew so round wiien I told her / had just finislied housecleaning, too.
"Why," she exclaimed, "I always thought you must have a maid — you liave such nice hands!"
