Steaming of Members a Labor
iOus Process and Generally
Proves Painful.

This is a laborious process. and where
the skin is tender is often painful.
Often the upper arms needs a mas
sage, which is not necessary for the
lower arm. as that is more often used.
In this case the upper arm should be
zone Owe thoroughly with melted NUT
ton fat, which can be performed to suit
the taste.
The fat is healing and very strength
ening, and is readily absorbed by the
skin pores. If ugly hair is on the arm
1t can be removed by rubbing the skin
with powdered pumiee stone daily until
it disappears.
The use of exercise TO obtain a beau
tiful arm is to be recommended from
the hygienic standpoint. Indian clubs
and dumb-bells are excellent for his
purpose.
With a dumh-bell of light weight
(many persons injure themselves by
using too heavy dumb-bells) the arms
should be held upward and gently re-
volved around the head. Then with
one hand appraised the other arm
should be slowly extended until it
reaches the shoulders, letting it fall
gradually until it reaches the waist line
at the back.

Once in a while an artist comes
across a beautiful pair of arms, every

ception.
The arms with round and flowing
outlines that taper down to the wrist
are few and far between.
If the arm is not sufficiently devel-
oped to be graceful, it may be improved
by proper care and exercise. To begin

rs 1t not in one of Tennyson's poems
: that we read of someone who liked
his wife a little more than his dog and
a little less thar his horse?
We have passed that stage at the
present time, yet it is still a fact that

stress on the fact that the prospective
bride has mo money of her own"
They must, so they appear to think,
give up a goodly portion of their own
earnings to maintain a wife, and they
hesitate, regarding it as somewhat un-
fair. Such reasoning is unwise; it is
also incorrect, as will be shown.
The use of the word "earnings' is in
itself an answer to such arguments;
the intending husband most probably
has very little actual money himself,
and is, therefore, not much better off
than his future wife. He is trading on
his ability to earn.
Now. a woman can assist a mai to
gain a good living by her knowledge
of human nature and her natural intui-

In that way her money value is as
