One of the very latest of fads is sus-

dainty-colored webbing and elastic,
with real leather straps just as the
men have. They are worn over pretty
corset cover and under a shirt waist
that is thin enough to allow them to be
seen. Some of the designs are hand
somely embroidered and silver-mount-
ed. OF course, they must be attractive
to look at-else their mission is lost.

This seems to be abnormally long in

taken by artists. Of course, arms are
sometimes out of proportion, being far
too short for the general height, but it
is rare that an arm is too Tong for the
