Long arms are usually considered . great
fortune. but only because the arms are SO
seldom pretty.
Long. lanky arms are, indeed, blemish.
and the longer they are the more awkward
q woman becomes.
There is nothing graceful on the way of
gesture to be done with such arms. and
since they are not beautiful. their length Is
all the more pronounced.
Long arms should. however, be q great
heauls-
The ideals. the statutes Of beautiful wom-
en- real and fanciful. the creations Of the
artistic brain are all long in the arm.
And the long-armed woman can have
prettier arms than the short-armed woman
can ever hope to have.
Artists models are very long in the arm
and very beautifully shaped. In Paris
there is woman who has long earned her
living as model in the artists studios.
She is very long-armed, and her arms are
not only very long, but 50 exquisitely
shaped that they afford a living for her.
She exposes them to be painted. over and
over again. and 80 great is the demand
for her services that orders are booked for
her long ahead.
She is uSuauy taken. IN tnree-QuarteT

show to best advantage.
THE PROPER COLOR
Good arms are never snow white. Snowy
white arms are pudgy and nerveless. They
are f1abby and far from ideal.
The best arms are cream-colored and they
are tapering. the largest part Of the arm
being at the shoulder.
The smallest part is at the wrist or Just
above the wrist.
Nature which Is very kind .o some of her
children. has merclfully placed beautiful
dimple in the elbow. just where the arm
would otherwise be ugly. and 1t is nice to
know that this dimple lies in every arm
that you. as well as the greatest society
beauty Of history. can possess.
The reason why you see SO few dimples
In the elbows is that SO few people know
how to cultivate them.
Instead Of dimples most people have hard
elbows which come from the practice of
leaning ones elbow upon ones desk and
from resting on an elbow on the windowsill
or on other hard spot.
Where there is the hard elbow there IL
no idimpie. for the flesh Is calloused there
To remove the hard spots on the elbow
the elbow must be treated. and this Il done
with very hard water into which the elbows
are held for a long time.
Liberal applications of a skin lotion are
HoW necessary 10 SoIten the hardness and,
finally. the elbows must be rested, not
leaned. upon anything for long time or
until the dimple begins to show.
Dimples can be coaxed into the shoulders
by fattening them and the dimpled shoulder
and the dimpled elbows are among the chief
charms Of a beautiful woman.
But the main point 10 not SO much the
beautifying Of the arms. which is q thing
that will take care Of ITSELF as the deyelop.
ment of the same.
Arms that are too thin will not be pretty
and you. cannot coax dimple into them.
You must first get them into shape and then
look out for their other points.
As soon as q woman II the possessor Of
pretty arms she shows them: and you may
be sure that she counts them a one her
best drawing points In the great beauty
game which all women play and which i
so commendable q part OF any woman's life,
since 1t means her innate desire to pleass.
