Art needle-work and valuable embroideries are frequently ruined,
or their beauty much impaired by washing them with ordinary
soap, which is too rank for such delicate articles. A simple, and
the proper method is to make suds of hot water and Ivory Soap,
and allow to cool till lukewarm. This solution, while very effective,
is perfectly harmless.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many whito soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory' u
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory " Soap and insist upon getting it.
