What About Your Arms?

faultlessly formed arm, one that has
the correct measurements at the shoul-
der, tapers down perfectly to a we'll
rounded, supple wrist, and ends In an
exquisitely nodded hand, is as rare as
perfect foot, but there are modifica-
tions of this type which are equally at
tractive IL well kept. All. there's the
important point! Why is the skin upon
the arm, especially the upper arm, so
often unsightly, rough, coarse-grained
with dry, pimply eruptions? Is 1t from
lack of bathing? Probably. The daily
vigorous use of the bath brush, or loffa
mitts, will prevent this copdition from
developing. On the outer, exposed parts
Of the arm the skin is somewhat thicker
than elsewhere, and the surface circula-
ton Is less active. When these parts
are neglected, therefore, the skin soon
loses its smooth texture.
An admirable way to overcome any
roughness quickly is to use powdered
pumice stone. Rub, very gently over the
skin until the thickened cuticle is re-
moved, bathe In hot water and apply a
good bland cream. What is more un-
pleasing than red arm peeping through
transparent bit of lace or embroidery ?
The circulation is probably at fault as a
result of tight corsets and bands, or the
digestion may be poor. Both conditions
must be corrected before any local treat
ment can show results. To stimulate the
local circulation arm calisthenics before
an open window. or entirely out In the
open air, are the most satisfactory mode
OF procedure. All clothing must be un-
confined. deep inhalations Of pure air
should be practiced while lightly swing
ing the arms backward. forward and up
ward; although the use Of dumb-belis
or wand are not essential. they bring
zest and imagination up to the move
ments' and thereby heighten their effect.

great boon for many women who suffer

At dirner party in Washington
5ecently the inevitable subject came
- for discussion, and when one Of
the guests, an eminent lawmaker, was
asked for an unofficial opinion on
suffrage, he declared that he saw no
good reason against woman voting,
but he objected to the unpleasant
duties which equal citizenship would
bestow upon her, citing jury duty,
among other instances.
Strangely enough, this opinion is
shared by vast army of men the
world over. and its significance is food

Thin arms, II they are well shaped and
web covered, are not objectionable, but
scrawny arms are very unsightly. Short,
plump arms are rather attractive, where
as those rolling in flesh are most gross.
To meet the various conditions that
require treatment, either adding to or
taking away tissue, there is nothing
equal to massage in efficiency. 1t both
reduces and develops. In order to break
up superabundant tissue, deep-seated
massage is necessary; the flesh must be
