HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL

Short sleeves which have been so uni
versally worn for the last year or two,
have ruined our elbows and it's painful
but frequent sight to behold two rough
and grayish joints sticking out pointedly
through fiImy lace sleeves.
The elbow fares very badly anyhow. 1t
is criticised for awkwardness and little
attention is paid to it until it is almost
hopeless. However, there is a way to
remedy the trouble, which win always
return unless more attention is paid to
the elbows or we adopt long sleeves
again.
In the first place, when bathing and
scrubbing the arms at night don't hold
your arm out stiff. This wrinkles up the
skin over the elbow and prevents you
from removing all the dust that Settles I'm
the creases. Bend the elbow and see that
| you wash 1t very clarfully. Elbows that
are just little rough should be rubbed
with a good cold cream or a little oil or
even sweet cream or sweet butter. Rub
this into the skin after washing and dry
ing thoroughly.
Where the elbows present a queer gray
ish appearance. with skin very much
cracked, apply the cream before washing.
Rub good quantity into the skin, letting
It absorb as much as it can. Leave il on
for a little while and then wash off with
warm water and bland soap. BY bland
soap mean one that has very little free
alkah in It. You can always test soap
by touching Il with the tongue. II II
stings and is very sharp TO the taste
don't use il on your face and hands. for IL
has too much alkali and Is too strong for
use even on cracked elbows.
When the elbows are very rough. with
a good deal Of loose dead skin which can
not be washed off, apply soap ana water
and rub the elbow with a little powdered
pumice stone. The pumlee stone should
be wet and the elbow should be well
soaped before II Is applied. Wash it off
thoroughly and rub a little cream over
the skin as an emolllent.
Soap water and powdered pumice will
rub away any dead skin which so fire.
quently shows on the arms in winter
time, and small pieces of pumiee stone
also wet and soaped, are used for rubbing
on the arms 10 destroy the down or hair
on them. II is one Of the simplest meth.
DDS Of getting rid of superfluous hair
though, OF course, the hair viii come
back again, and only constant use vii
, completely subdue the growth.
A great many girls complain Of hayinl
r very thin forearms or thin upper ARM
: and heavy forearms. This inharmoniou.
: condition is due 20 an over-developmen
; OF one set OF muscles and the correspond
! ing lack of development I'm the other set
Homework develops the arms. and 1 Sc,
IL frequently recommended for that pur
pose. After all, every movement whicI
occurs in ordinary homework has it's pro
totype in some physical culture exercise
Only when we do homework our mind
are usually on something else and W,
] are In hurry to get through. and whei
! We are exercising, especially in a elias

ally anxious to get our moneys wort
and sood results. Therein lies the gTea
difference. You can turn every motioI
