TO COVER THE ARMS
FASHION TO THE RESCUE OF
THE SUNBURNED GIRL
Inevitable Reaction From Abbreviated
Sleeves in the Shape Of New
Modes From Paris.

Written for The Star.
| The girl from the east looked regretfully
at her sunburned arms. "They won't do. :"
| she said, they're perfect flights! I'll never
get them back to their snowy whiteness."
Don't try" laconically said the girl from
| the west. whats the use? Men like
sunburned arms: the browner the better.
| they think. At least they do in Gods own
country, where I come from"
"Oh, that's very well for the good old
summer time. Mahogany-colored arms may
| look well in white linen shirt waists hand
| ling the tennis racquet or the golf clubs.
but they don't look SO fetching in chiffons
and crepe de chimes at formal dinner
party The rose-pink candle shades only
deepen their brown and make you feel
more like an Indian than ever.
"And then there's my neck with that
horrtd ring showing where my collar kept
the sun from burning-a regular Mason
| and Dixon line between the white and
the black! Oh, I wish I hadn't been SO
strenuously athletic this summer"
Cucumber cream. lemon juice. peroxide,
lettuce lotion" began the girl from the
west.
spend in patient rubbing. but I haven't.
The one particular man I'm interested In
abhors these savage charms and thinks the
| ideal woman ought to be OF fragile femi-
at dinners several times In the near future
I don't mind saying that wasn't far from
his ideal the last time We met, and mat ne
but bu'S now- The girl from the east broke
of with q sigh that was almost groan.
why, what do you suppose my brother
told me my arms reminded him OF wnen
happened to lean my elbows on the dinner
table last ght7-'Long rolls Of smoked
bologna was what he said' ana mes about

Emulate the Milo.
sewell, since you've no time to get the
tan of, you've evidently got either to emu
late the Venus de Milo and cut your arms
of above the elbows. or else you must COW
er them up. The latter course will be less
painful as well as less expensive. There
FORE wear long sleeves"
Easy enough to say. but there isn't one
frock In my whole wardrobe with anything
but short sleeves: nor In yours either,
she added, bit spitefully.
There's where you're wrong" was the
triumphant reply. You forgot I've just
come back from Paris, and I'm well pro-
Ing to wear long sleeves this fall. The
anatomical displays that have been un-
blushingly thrust in the face OF the public
this summer In the way of fat, pudgy arms
or knobby. red elbows, have worked the
inevitable reaction against the omnipresent
short sleeve. OF course. we might have
known It would be 30 when we all had
every sleeve we owned cut OF to elbow
length last spring."
"Then get busy and make yourself UNI
der-sleeves." was the answer. Make them
of whatever thin stuff goes best with the
gown-embroidered chiffons. delicate nets or
flmy d'Alencon laces made into long, loose
lower sleeves that wrinkle like mousque-
taire glove, are really fascinating. They
let the contour Of the arm show through.
but they disguise the tan or sunburn, es-

Dog Collars and Ribbon.
''And my neck-swath that in lace, too7"
asked the girl from the east. IT don't like
to wear high-necked dinner gowns; my
shoulders are much too good to cover up"
mo, wear a dog collar of imitation pearls
or Of Jet; the Jet ones are newest. And
massage without ceasingi Creams and To-
lions will obliterate that ring in time. For
a change make yourself a collar Of beads;
a girl know had some of them and they
cost almost nothing. Get one Of those little
looms for bead weaving at any department
