Take a sprig of sweet clover she
read aloud from the book. and break
it into bits. Put upon the stove in
little porcelain kettle and cover with
a cup of sweet Gil.
Add half a cup of melted mutton
tallow. When it is all hot together
lift out the clover sprig with a fork
and add little lavender perfume.
Take off the stove and beat with an
egg beater' as it cools. Il VIII keep
forever"
This" she added, will bleach your
arms snowy white if applied once a

There used to be a rule in all girls
boarding schools that the pupils must
touch the elbows behind them. Ev-
cry day they were required to stand
in a row and tap their elbows together
in the back.
Our grandmcthers viii tell US how
rigidly this was enforced, and how the
girl who could not do it was required
to keep on practicing until she had
accomplished the feat. Tapping the
elbows together was one way Of rest
ing when the back was tired. 1t
would be n good exercise today.
TO make the arms graceful clasp
the head back. And to make them
supple, lift them over the head, swing
them around and Try in all ways TO
exert every muscle of the arms at
least once every day in your life.
So much has been said about q per-
feet arm that enc hesitates to lay
down a rule An artist recently in u.
lecture thus described the farm ideal:
1T must be symmetrical" said he
no matter what its length. An arm
is just the right length when the pa
tient, standing upright, can measure
I just her height with the tips of her
| fingers.
ITO test this, measure your height
on the wall. Now, stand with out
/ stretched fingers. you should be just
/ able to measure your height It should
/ be dGne with some effort, or the arms
/ VIII be too long.
/ AS matter Of fact. it makes no
/ difference whether the arms are long
/ or short. 1t is all in the shape. And
/ here, again, there can be no exact
| rule.
] Pretty arms, like Il pretty face"
I cannot be described. There are certain
| general features that are necessary.
! Otherwise it is . matter of environ
: ment.
"A pretty pair e arms must be very
white, yet not pallid. OF course, they
must not be coarse, nor freckled. nor
covered with down.
Pretty arms must have pretty
/ dimpled elbows. and pretty elbows are
! not hard elbows, nor elbows out Of
which a crazy bone sticks with per-
sistent aggressiveness.
Pretty arms are round arms, and
the rCundness extends all the way from
the shoulder right down 20 the wrist.
The arms must be symmetrical. plump,
yet not fat, and finished off with a
dimple at the shoulder, at the elbow
! and at the wrist.
| "Dimpled wrists are rare. vet one
does see them, A pretty wrist is one
that is small and tapering. Certain
wrists are so tiny that they look as
though string We're tied around them
above the hand. This kind OF a wrist
is very childish and gives the owner
an appearance CT youth
Mice hands 60 with nice wrists. of
course and the woman whose arms
and wrists are good will not NEGLECT
to make her hands nice also. she
must preserve their plumpness and
nust see to 1t that they are the right
color and shape
he bast arms are the cream color
ed arms, FOR cream colored flesh is
much prettier than a dead white flesh.
Healthy arms are inclined to show
blue veins, and these are considered
a mark of beauty against the white
