PERFECT ARMS HARD TO FIND.
Honely Women Have the Most Beau
 tifuI Ones-The French Arm.

Almost any sculptor or painter is willing to stake his artistic reputation on the statement that it is the most diff ifcult to find a woman with merely good arms, to say nothing of beautiful ones says the Boston Herald.

 An arm that is admirable almost be- yond criticism, is the French arm. It has the proper artistic proportions, the correct artistic curve, with a slender wrist and a well rounded elbow The maiden of Morocco, too, has pretty arm of her own.
 Young men of Morocco judge wheth- CT d girl is charming or not by looking at her arm and hand. Her face they seldom see, so jealously is it guarded by the robe which covers the head like q hood.
 With one hand the Moorish maiden Versed in the art of coquetry holds the folds of her robe before her face in d way that while it conceals her features. we'll displays her arm and hand. She realizes that there is scarcely any charm which surpasses that of beau- tiful arm and hand, and that they pos sess to a great degree the power to fascinate.
