THE ARMS BECOME ROUNDED
 IF PROPERLY EXERCISED.


 Do. not become discouraged if your arms are a wee bit too thin or too fat. as can tell you a, way to make them symmetrical and devinely pret- ty.
 Instead of nassaging your fra1l arms with this oil and that, fair lady and waiting months for inadequate results, do as other girls are doing and exercise your arms. I don't mean the exercise one gets by playing the piano or washing the. dishes, al- though anything that brings the mus cles of the arms into. play is not to be sneered at. No, am referring g to some physical culture exercises in which I have great faith.
 If you can spare the time for these arm exercises before breakfast, do so, but if this time of day finds you with every minute taken up by household fdutdes, postpone your beauty work until later in the morning, say, an hour before lunch, as it will be the means of giving you a most excellent appetite.

A FEW TIPS FOR
 WOULD-BE LOVERS

Thus 1t is our daughters leave us,
 Those we love and those who love us. Just when they have learned to help
 us
 When we are old and lean upon them, Comes a youth with Haunting feath-
 CTS,
 With his flute of reeds a stranger
 Wanders piping through the village, Beckons to the fairest maiden,
 And she follows where he leads her, Leaving all things for the stranger!''
 Don't fear to call a. girl dear to her face if she wears your engagement ring. The average girl. if she is sen sible, knows that ten to one you'll be muttering it under your breath after you are married.
 It isn't wise to be too hard in speak ing of mothers-in-laiw, or you will start in married life with an enemy in camp. Don't ask your sweetheart her age time and again, thinking few girls can remember to tell the same story twice. Don't make a splurge of liber- ality while single if you know. you couldn't keep it up after the knot is tied. Be careful not~to lead her to believe you're not of jealous disposi- tion when you know your greatest fault is worrying as to NFE1 ether some other fellow your girl speaks to will cut you out.
 Don't give a girl to understand that you own a fine motor .icar when, in fact, your only interest in one may be your monthly pay as chauffeur. Don't tell her that you have great expecta- tiors from an old uncle who wishes to make his his heir. putting his age at ninety or theareabouts; for that's a chestnut. She has probably heard dozens of fellows tell the same story. Never throw out the hint that there are score of girls who are setting their caps for you, when in truth there isn't a, girl in town but asks her what she can see in you to cause her to waste her time entertaining you
 Don't make a, c1lun of her brother; that would destroy any hope you may have Of winning her. Never tell her that you are the poetry of grace on the dancing floor when you know you couldn't dance to save your life if she were to challenge you to take a, few steps then and there. You'd have to get out of it by attempting the hesita- tion. Don't boast that all you have to do is to propose marriage to be ac- cepted at once. There may be other Richmonds in the field that you know nothing about-rivals, in other words, who have the self-same hope.
 Don't try to cut out some other fel- low, TOT the game 1Sn . Worlh the Can- de that's won by tricl<ery. Don't make fun of the oddities of her an cient aunt. She might speak of it and put you out of a fortune later on, If you married her, from that self-same aunt, Don't talk sentiment to your Iandlady if she's a widow. Widows will not stand for nonsense. You might find a suit on hand for heart balm. If you're lucky enough to get a nice girl for a sweetheart, don't take too long in making up your mind about proposing. For while you are

Little Beauty Chats
RY@BIsANCE4E BEACON


 An exercise which the director of a well-known physical culture school told me would develop attenuated arms, is as follows: Lie on your back on the floor and throw your arms out to the right and left, on a line with your shoulders, and open and close the fists from fifteen to twenty times. separating the fingers widely each <tirne the hand is opened. Go through this exercise for five mo- ments being careful to turn the backs of the hands down when the fists are closed and the palms of the hands down when the hands are opened.
 Quite different is the next exercise. as it requires you to stand erect with chest thrown up and out and abdo- men drawn in. If my class in beau ty has now assumed this position. take a long step to the front, bend ing over until hngertips touch the floor. Inhale deeply, then clench fists and draw arms up and back as if they were lifting ffty-pound stone. As you lift. shift the weight of the body to the rear foot. When once more in original position, relax and exhale. Repeat movement twenty times.
