MOMENTS ARMS.


Proud or Asuaneu W.
From the Louisville Courier journal.
Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer owes much OF
her reputation as the beautiful presi-
dent of Sorosis to her use of her arms.
She never forces them. IL she disposes
herself statuesquely against the high
back of her carved chair she Is content
with so much Of pic~turesqueness as IL
compatible with the calm poise OF n good
presiding officer. IL an occasion arises
for Oher to throw an active express
sion into her posture she just gets the per-
missible effect, no more. no less, out OF
her graceful arms. But no woman oil the
stage has the actress opportunity.
Lillian Russell has splendid, ripe, full
colorcd arms; n little heavy. perhaps, ana
suggesting the Turkish bath rather than
the sunshine, hut strong throughout ana
firm; such arms as speak OF the fhllIless
OF recognition before the coming OF the
marks OF time.
Julia Marlowe has a 1.-the, graceful,
young arm; IL reminds n Of Margaret
Mather's before that young quar-
relied with her manager and began to
grow fieshy. And yet Miss Mather's arm
was always too long. Miss Mariowe's is
cxquisitcly proportioned and clearly,
,laintily modelled. IL is a Diana ARM, or
rather that of n of Diana nymphs
more youthful than the hnntress. IL has
about il no mark Of passion.
Mrs. KcndaTs arm when she Is on the
stage is like her face rs u sees u oil tue
stage, serenely "a BEAUTIFULLY matronly.
Her upper arm is peculiarly. muscular.
Her kin has "A creamy tin ana the elbow
is irrcproachable.
Carmencita could not have become the
rage she is but for her soft olive-tlnted,
expressive arms, that dance quite as
much rs her feet, but are even more
graceful, as they lie heavily on her knees
after the impassioncd performance, than
during their music-quickened life as they
wave and circle above her piquant. dark
eyed face.
Lii Lehman has extremely handsome
arms. A sculptor might model them.
You never appreciate their beauty when
she il ON the stage, because your atten-
ton is distracted 10y her o~range-col-
orcd wig and the yards on yards oil
cashmere with which she curiousiy
disiigures the goddesscs OF Walholla. III
she would only give them half a chance
her arms are splendidly warmed-skinned,
majcstically strong the very arms OF
BrUnhihie or isoide.
PATHS arms are like pearl satin in col
or and texture. Albani's are not well
formed. Mrs. Hodgson Burnett treats
her arms about the least skilfully, ami
Gcnevicve Stebbins has about the best
arms of contemporaneous femininity.
or society bellies, Mabel Wright, now
Mrs. Iznaga, has perhaps the widest
spread reputation for arms.
Miss Elizabeth BIsland has the pretticsi
arms of any writing woman, with "A young
and virginia. delicacy Of rounding.
The prcttiest wrist ! ever saw belonged
tn "A mite of a school teacher less than
five feet high, who was built hand and
foot like an intaglio Venus. The com
moncst fault Of "A woman's arm Is toe
large an elbow; there is petulance and
not strength in sue an articulation. Ev-
erybody remembers the struggle of Mrs
James Brown Pottcr's teachers with hci
rrcpressiblcs.
