only a stlck-like upper arm. The arm | below the elbow may be fairly well de- veloped, but from shoulder to elbow the muscles are practically dead and the arm | has never grown.
 The owner of spindle-like arms should make a mad rush for a gymnasium, or learn how to make arms things of beauty and curves on her own account. | More than half the exercises for devel' 1 oping the arms need no apparatus. To | strengthen and round out the forearm, | for instance, place the fingers together l tip to tip. and force the arms out as far as possible, by strengthening the fingers, l Continue the movement back and forth | for ten minutes at a time.
 J To give the back part of the upper arm a difficult piece of work stand about two feet from the wall. placing the hands 1 against the wall, just at a level with and opposite the shoulders. Keep the feet on the floor, and let the body settle forward until the chest touches the wall keeping the elbows near the sides. Now push sharply off from the wall until the el- bows are again straight and the body | vertical
 | Another movement is to hold the arms out straight from the shoulder at right | angles to the body. Twist the hand back as far as possible without moving tho arm. until you feel that nearly every mus cle in the arm has been exercised. Then lift the arms up slowly until, the fingers | touching, they form an arch above the head. Do this first with the palms out l then palms in.
 | A fascinating exercise and one worth a good deal to the girl who is looking for ward with despair to winter dances. when she wants to wear short sleeves, is the spiral or cork-screw movement. | Hold one arm up, slightly bent at the elbow, and with a hand twist the arm | from shoulder to wrist. and from wrist te shoulder. Thise movement, if energtzeI helps to give curves-soft sinuous curves A movement for the wrist, as we'll as the arms, Is the 'paddle-wheeT' exer. else, and this is the way of 1t: Lean lightly forward. and, placing the fore. | arms across the chest, perform a rotary movement, the forearms passing alter nately over and under each other | For the alternate downward stroke strike out each arm alternately to the l front. and in a line with the shoulders
 When the arm is at its fullest extent press it downward to the side. When in i the act of doing so, strike out forward
 with the other arm. This is good de-
 velopment for the wrists, better than any
 wrist or arm machine that was ever de- | vised.
 The windmill stroke is another capl- | tai movement.
 Advance the left foot, and with the right arm up and the left arm down. each | held quite stiff, make a rotary move ment to the back and front of the body. Alternate this with the right foot in ad- vance, and the arms in reverse position.
 Exercises with cushions and railway ropes may also be suggested. The girl | who is really in earnest in her desire to make over her arms wants a variety of movements. She | tries one today and another tomOr-
 row, and finds it much more interesting
 to have several strings to her bow. Be
 sides. there is forearm, upper arm and
 wrist development, and each has It's own | form.
 If it is not convenient to visit a gym.
 nasium where railway ropes are part of
 the paraphernalia, 1t is not a herculear
 task to rig up the ropes in a corner of ! your sanctum
