To keep the hands soft and white while
doing housework means that they must
be constantly cared for or the flesh will
become dry and coarse from the action
of strong soaps and hard water.
Unfortunately most women VINO DO
their own kitchen work are too busy, or
too careless to give their hands the nee
essary treatment, and as result their
! fingers become red.
| This condition, which is not only disfig-
urlng, but c1ten painful could be easily
avoided by wearing gloves. To insure
comfort when working In gloves use those
that are several sizes too large-men's for
instance. or II a housewife must utilize
her old pairs then these should be slit
down the palms so the movements OF the
hands will not be cramped-

OF work that does not involve putting the

IL not all. dust is kept from contact with
hands, and as a consequence the epider-
nlis does not become dry and hard. Dust
Is one OF the greatest enemies to pretty
hands for the reason that IL Sits into
the pores and under the nails at the cor
ners. Water, instead OF removing, fire.
auently drives It further into such places.
and pretty hand will be ruined after
"A time.
Before drawing on working gloves II Is
well TO rub the fingers and backs or the
hands with cream. The natural heat gen.
Grated while working Will help TO take
these lotions into the pores. ana thus a
softening and whitening agent is con-
stantly at work. To rub sweet almond oil
on the skin and then dust the hands with
powdered French chalk makes one OF the
best combinations that can be used.
TO keep her hands free from dust mus'
