quired for the out-of-dOor toilet.
Those who are dubious as to whether
the new fashion of the V-shaped corsage
will suit them should take a looking
glass and examine the contour Of the
neck most critically.
Times hangers begin their withering
task in front of the neck, and If signs OF
age appearing it is necessary to be-
gin series of exercises at once. and to
practice them conscientiously day after
day.
Standing in an easy attitude, with the
hands on the hips. in front OF a looking
glass, the head shuld be moved back
ward as far as possible. and the Under
jaw be thrust out at the same time, SO
that the stretching process upon the
chin is felt.
In this attitude turn the head from the
right to the left several times over, and
the tonic effects of the exercise will soon
be perceptible.

sage cream treatment Immediately with
the application of an astringent which
has the power to dissolve any remaining
portions of cream so they may be wiped
away with a soft cloth. After this first
application of astringent saturate a
sponge with peroxide of hydrogen and
cover every portion of the arm with the
sponge, paving special attention to the
hairy growth.
Allow the peroxide to remain at least
five minutes. wipe 1t gently away and
make final application of the astrin-
gent. which should leave a soft, moist
finish to the skin. Peroxide acts as a
bleach. making the hair lighter and less
noticeable. In many cases. when used
conscientiously. it finally kills the roots

MAKING THE HANDS
AND ARMS BEAUTIFUL

A thin, "scraggly" forearm is an abom-
ination in the eyes Of those who know
the Importance of every point which goes
to make up the finished beauty product.
Now that short sleeves show every in
dication of remaining popular despite the
recent invasion of long sleeves, the task
of keeping the arm attractive in contour
and texture develops into a considerable
one. worthy Of the earnest consideration
of all those devoted to the extremely
comfortable and likewise extremely femi-
nine abbreviated sleeve.
Il can't wear short sleeves, my arm is
so thin is constant complaint. Few Of
those uttering it have set about to rem
edy the fault. Facial massage has come
to be well recognized necessity among
women of taste and refinement. Seeing
the wonders it has wrought with dry
skins, the hollows It has filled out and
the wonderful rejuvenation 1t never falls
to bring about, the benefits of arm and
hand massage will be easily understood
by those who have profited by facial
reatments.

the reverse of grace and ease impaired
to every movement by the shapely, Wen
rounded contour. The veins. cords and
bones of the arms stand out prominently
and rough framework exists where the
finished work of natures Incompatible
art should be evident. This is because
the forearm needs nourishmeht and de-
velopment.
When the arm is puffy with excess
flesh, with no graceful tapering slope
from elbow to wrist, massage is needed
to clear away the waste, iron out the
puffs and shape the member as nature
intended.
The first requisite is a good massage
cream not of the disappearing order. but
one with a nourishing and softening in
fluence.
This should be applied generously and
when the entire arm is covered the rotary
movement with the tips Of the fingers
should be given from wrist to elbow
Massage must be medium in depth for de-
veloping the arm and very deep for re-
ducing. After each procedure stroke the
arm gently or firmly. according to the
strength of the movement, the gentle
ironing being best for q medium move
ment and the firm for a deep one Make
the entire round of the arm at least half
a dozen times, resting a few minutes be-
tween each round.
To prevent the encouragement of the
growth Of hair on the arm be certain to
select a cream free from animal fats.
There are a number Of creams on the
market guaranteed not to promote such
a growth. To still further prevent such
a growth and to decrease such as may be

ing institution. The idea is that the
committee could serve a good purpose
in the education of the people in Dem
ocratic doctrine and principles and in
the enlightenment of the people as to
what the party is doing. In this con-
nection the establishment of "a gov
eminent suggestion box" to which cit
liens throughout the country might
submit their ideas on governmental
elites are said to have been given
serious thought by Chairman VIM. F.
McCombs, who successfully conducted
the Wilson campaign, and who has
been already spoken Of as likely to be
prOffered an important post under the
Wilson administration. From a source
close to the chairman, it was said,
however, that he was so enthusiastic
over the Democratic propaganda ideas
that he would like to carry them out
if possible, even to the exclusion of any
other position.
Mr.. McCombs was out of town this
morning, having gone to Princeton to
congratulate Mr.. Wilson. It is be-
lieved that he has laid the plans be-
fore Governor Wilson and If they are
approved he will devote his energies
to carrying them out.

MRS. MONROE HAPPY
Suffrage Leader Gives Thanks for

Mrs. Lila Day Monroe, president OF

worker in the cause of suffrage, admits
that she was SURPRISED at the proper

jorities that were unforeseen In the
following communication Mrs. Monroe
extends thanks to the business men OF
Topeka, and to the loyal members OF
the most Cosmopolitan Kansas CLUB;

priSed even the most Sangulne OF US
We had, just among ourselves, de-
cided that we would probably be able
to keen down the majority against the
amendment and that the state at large
would furnish the victory. we were
not pessmistic, merely calmly and
dispa ssfonateIy figuring from knowl-
edge of conditions. We feel that we
owe much to the business men of To-
peka who are saying such KIND Things
of US today. One man who had been
most StrenuOuSly against us called up
this morning and said his conversion
was due to our business method of
carrying on the fight No greater COM
pliment could be paid.
1--WE say we owe much of our sue
cess to the unfailing courtesy of the
business men with whom we came in
contact, although this takes away no
actual glory from the members OF
the Good Government club. A club
that has made history but has been too
busy most of the time to really write
itself up and get its need of apprecia-
ton.
1.-THE handspring still is to be reach
ed: Loyalty of officers is perhaps the
very greatest of the reasons why we
have made so good a showing in To-
peka- Was there ever another list OF
officers who have stood by a president
as the officers of the Good Government
club have stood by theirs? They had,
eally in the campaign, pledged them
selves not to attend a single social
function unless there could be positive
gain in it to the cause. Neither dress,
social affairs nor even other duties
could claim them or keep them away
from the councils. They were faithful
to the end and as their president to

Larned Likely to Appear in
Some Special Contest.

Newport has again come forward and
offered a special trophy to be competed
for by lawn tennis players when they
meet for the thirty-second annual all
corners national championship tourna-
ment on tho courts Of the Casino. Rob
ert d. Wrenn. president of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton, has officially Informed the clubs In
the organization and the members Of the
executive committee OF the offer, with
the idea of securing opinions as to the
best form that the competition should
take.
According TO a statement made yester-
day II Is planned to hold distinctly
special contest AS IT is practically GER
tain at this time that William A. Larned,
the seven times holder OF the national
championship, will not play through, as
the new rules require. the competition
will be arranged so as to bring the
champion out in a special event SO far
three suggestions have been made-a
doubles match or matches between pairs
of national prominence, a mixed doubles
tournament, which would bs new TO
Newport and In which the leading wom-
en- and men of the country would be
paired, and a golf match. AS regards
tho latter, II is understood that the golf
club is again TO offer prize for the Wis.,
iting lawn tennis players. as was done
last season, so that the special trophy
is likely TO be confined TO a strictly turf
courts competition.
The entry list for the allcomers will
close with Robert d. Wrenn at the Ca
sine at Newport, r. l.. on Friday. August
16. at which time the draw Will be made.
The question of limiting the list in some
manner has again come TO the front, as
the total last season reached 202 com
petitors. II is expected that the system
attic work Of the ranking committee in
securing data from all parts OF the coun-
try as 10 players and performances may
be helpful in solving the problem. The
final nominations for the American team
that will play in the Davis international
cup matches must also be made during
the opening week of the allcomers Con-
sequently a special meeting OF the ma
uonal executive committee has been
called by President Wrenn. TO be held
at the Casino on Tuesday. August 20. \
number OF other important matters will
also be discussed at that time.
