on. The upper part is often we'll formed,
unless she has overexercised; in that case
her muscles get lumpy as a child's Christmas
stocking.
Muscles should be unobtrusive: other
wise they are hideoUs, and next to lumpy
muscles comes the elbow in point of uRli-
ness. Perhaps one woman out OF a thousand
has an elbow which should be exposed to
the public eye and that is a very generous
estimate. made 10y q man who has suffered
considerably from models who were not
perfectly equipped for their profession.
The only elbow that il is permissible to
expose is the one In which the bone is hidden
under ar outlying halo OF dimple. Many
women who adapt fashion rather than
follow IL blindly always have their sleeves
made to cover this Objectionable feature
and the straps Of an evening corsage are
finished so that a fall Of lace depends grace

glove and exposes a bone like the joint

expansiv eness. He may not know why he
does it n probably would not believe
II he we're told. He thinks it is because the
woman has no temperament.
"Housework is apt to destroy the outlines
Of an arm by making the muscles rigid and
developed in wrong places. The arm
should taper from a small wrist and there
should only be flesh enough to cover the
framework.
Many of the admired hands and arms
seen in the portraits of celebrated beauties
are in reality those Of a model. The ath-

are so crazy about in women.

developing such a deliberately antagonlstic
spirit?
And talking about the way some women

Anyhow, she's another m OF the kind
that never has anything to eat around the
place and puts il all in clothes. She had
a little luncheon party up there the other
day, and what do you suppose she gave

1T was the maids day OF or something,
and so she sent the janitOr's wife around

After the errand the janitor's wife told me
what she bought. You'd never guess in a
thousand years. Five cents worth OF cold
ham. five cents worth OF cold tongue, a ten
! cent can OF salmon and a niokel's worth
Of soda crackers-a luncheon for a party
Of six women for a quarter.
Isn't that the most laughable thing you
ever heard Of? I told my husband about
IL, and, would you believe it, the brazen
thing never cracked a smile, but he said
that probably Miss Penslish's guests were
I all vegetarians, and that no doubt there
was plenty OF chocolate cake and suited
almonds around the fat!
Il declare, the way he said It made me so
q that was almost speechless-almost;

That is what dieting always means to a
woman like that she explains as the client

But don't ever let on about this to James

TROLLEYS MAKE TOWNS GROW
-------
Iowa Loses IN Her Total Population, hut
Trolley Townships Gain.

On1cials Of interurban trolley lines in lowe
have been doing sons figuring. with the
result that the interurban line appears in a
fattering light M a population pusher.
In those townships In the State where inter-
urban lines have been operating the pOpu-
lation has increased considerably in the last
few wears, whereas the population OF the
ST. to in ZEN, raj hrs de Creased.
This was shown by the CPns"s Of 1905 when
the tot u figures indicated that the Sta e
had lost about $4,000 people since 1900. Dur
ing the same pt Rod the population in the
towns through which the ihterurDan lines
run has Increased in almost every instance
from rs u so per cent.
The interurban lines now operating In
Iowa have.been constructed but a few years,
says the Clinton Herald. 30 that there has
been but little opportunity for development.
During the next Ave years the increase viii
b much more noticeable.
