Dear Mrs. Thompson: % My arms
are long and tan. Is there any way
to fatten the arms and to whiten
them?
(2) My arms are also covered with
hair which makes them look ugly. Is
there some way of taking it off with
out shaving them?
BROWN EYES.
% The treatment essential to i'm
proving the arms is bandaging them at
night. 1t is best done by soaking some
soft old linen in either sweet almond
or olive oil II is well to have the
wrapping about four inches wide
These are placed firmly about the
arms, but not so tight as to stop cir
Culation. 1t is important to put thin
oiled silk over these wrappings to pre-
vent grease from rubbing off. A per-
son who does not wish TO take this
treatment will get results by rubbing
the arms with oil.
Whether they are merely massaged
or wrapped the preliminary should be
the same. The skin, from wrist to
shoulder should be mopped with
warm, but not hot, water, the opera
ton taking at least 10 minutes. The
object is not only to cleanse, but to
soften the skin and open the pores, so
the surface will be in condition to alb
sOrb the massage oil. The arms
should be thoroughly dried, because il
any water remains on the grease will
not be absorbed.
The above treatment makes the skin
white and the arms more plump.
To exercise with Indian clubs or
dumb-bells would also help to de-
Velop the arms.
90 Anything you could use to re-
move the hair would have the same
result as shaving, that is, make the
hair thicker and bristly. Apply per-
oxide and bleach the hair The result
will be much more satisfactory than
removing it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: u Is it right
for girl to give fellow her picture?
90 What is your opinion of the
matrimonial clubs you see advertised
in the papers? Is it improper to an
sWer such ads?
