BEAUTY IN THE ARMS
Methods of Orient Of Use to Women
Here-Arms Are Specially Of One
Beauty Maker.


New York Sum Arms are my spe.
ciality,' said a beauty maker as she
patted manilSin made up TO represent
feminine form. "A woman's arms
are in the foreground today. Unless she
has really good arms she Is not up to.
date"
AS she spoke she adjusted the mani.
kin so that the arms were slightly up
lifted. The pose was graceful. On the
manikin was a smart shirtwalst with
sleeves that fell back a little so that
YOU saw the shape Of the arms.
She's wearing a klmono sleeve" ex-
planned the beauty woman, land that
forces her to show her arms. That Is
why the kimono has held its own as
well as 1t has. 1t gives a woman a.
chance to show what she's been doing
in the beauty world.
Have you seen The Garden OF Al.
lah?' Take notice Of those exercises
in the first act. An Oriental faces the
rising sun and goes through his morn
ing devotion. Perhaps II is his even
ing devotions that he is making.
Morning or evening. it's all the same to
the woman who is studying beauty, for
she must take these exercises night
and morning.
1.-THE Oriental stands facing the sun
He is in the open air and he stands
high. He stretches his arms upward
several times. Then he stoops and
touches his hands to the ground, but he.
bends his knees In doing this. The ex-.
ercises are much more graceful than
those usually given to women to do in
the gymnasiums Women have several
things to learn about arm exercises.
First, It does no good to strain your
back. You can wrench your muscles
and yet not do your arms any good.
Touching the floor with your finger
tips is q time-honored beauty stunt,
but 1t is doubtful If 1t ever ala the
hands and arms any good.
Then the arms need air and sun
and they need exercise of the sort that
the Egyptian takes standing high upon
a mound of sand, his face to the sun.
This may serve as a hint to the
kind Of exercise that will round out tho
arms. Stand high In the open air
with nothing within reach. There.
must be no nervousness as to hitting
objects when you are swinging your.
arms. The golf exercises are not so,
very good for the reason that they
make the arms Iumpy You should take
easy, swinging movements. Only in
this way can poor arms be reclaimed
from their ugly estate.
Arms require scrubbing. Bulrushes
are splendid for the skin IL you usa
the right variety. Catnip STEPPED into
a tea and used with soap upon the
arms is one Of the simplest in use In
the warm countries. Boneset and.
spearmint are also used. The herbs
have an acid Of their own that
bleaches.
Unless arms are very graceful they
are not beautiful. You must practice
the arm swinging exercises. and for
these there is nothing equal to the
Egyptian dances. These dances are
easy, You can acquire them in all
dancing parlors. in many gymnaslums
and in not a few beauty shops. The
arms are lightly swung as one dances.
Elbow caps should be used. They
are easy to make. The requirements
are only piece Of kid and handful
Of paste. The back OF a long kid glove
is best. IL should be fitted loosely to
the elbow. AZ night the pad or cap is
spread with glove paste and the ell
bow is slipped into II.
'Massaging the elbows is also Eff
fective. Use good soft cream or pure
sweet oil. The skin can be manipulate
ed until il is as pliable as velvet and as
soft as finest doesl1in. After while lie
you get the true Oriental touch the
dimples will begin 70 appear.
There are things the Oriental wom-
an never do since they know that they
work to the injury of the arms
Changed and adapted to modern needs
their rules would read like this;
Never sit with your hands on your
face and your elbows on the table.
The injury Is manifold. Your fingers.
pressing into your checks, make deep
dents, and this causes the skin to
shriveL
Don't lean the elbows on a table
stand, dresser or other hard substance
There never was an elbow that wouIe
remain soft IL pressed into the hArd
surface OF the table habitualiy.
BE sure to use an oriental elbow
jug. If you've been in Egypt YOU
know what this means. Those who've
never walked the streets Of Cairo can
not imagine the pretty wares that are
offered for sale, and among them the
elbow jugs are numerous. yet far from
costly.
ANY deep little jug will do. In the
elbow jug Is placed a scented mixture
that whitens the elbows, softens them
and makes them pretty. The mixture
ia keFpf in IL. and vvhnYt xot, have ftsss
time you sit down and soak your ell
bows.
In buying your elbow jugs be sure
to have them OF the right size. Be
sure also to have covers to them
When YOU get your elbows looking
pretty you'll want to show therns and
there are plenty Of gowns with sleeves
for that purpose"
