Shapely Arms

ders and arms. Stretch the arms
horizontally from the body until the
muscles are tense. Then slowly
raise them above the head, trying
to keep the muscles rigid.
Again, clench the fists and,
stretching the arms horizontally at
the sides, raise and lower the arms.
This develops the biceps. Clench
the fists and turn them slowly
about on the wrists to make the
wrists supple Light massage with
olive oil supplements these exer-
cises.
know a girl who otherwise had
a charming figure, but whose arms
were Interestingly thin. 1t took
two years of the closest kind OF at
tention to make those arms attrac-
tive, but she succeeded, and now
she is the happiest person you ever
saw.
The only means she used were
a change of diet to more nourishing
and muscle-building food, a half
hour twice a day Of vigorous exer-
cises, and daily massage with cold
cream Or olive oil. The results
were soft, we'll rounded, pink-white
arms that charmed every one who
beheld them.
An exercise that develops the
arms and the back and the bust as
well is this: Hold the arms down
straight at the sides and inhale
deeply. Clench the fists. Bend the
elbows. Bring the fists to the
shoulders. moving only the lower
arms. With the fists resting at the
shoulders, raise the elbows to .
straight line with the shoulders,
Next move the arms down slowly
until they fit close into the arm
pits. Move the fists slowly around
TO the back, crossing them, and
then lowering the arms to the first
position. Keep the muscles tense
while so doing. This is famous
resistance exercise.
II the texture of the skin on tne
arms is coarse, dry rub every day
with a soft flesh brush should open
the pores, whose long collectine
accretions have made the skin
rough. This treatment will make
the skin tender. If it seems sensi
tive apply a good cold cream every
morning and evening. After the
morning application powder may b'
added. A nightly scrub with soal
and water is also beneficial.

we'll shaped arm. Any woman
with scrawny. thin looking arms
soon forfeits her claim to be called
beautiful, Notwithstanding her
smooth skin and regular features:
while the woman with fat, beefy
looking arms Is in danger Of find
ing herself classed with the pcpu-
lar pugilist champion of the day.
On the other hand, beautiful
shoulders and a perfectly rounded
arm, with a shy little dimple in It's
elbow, will go far to make up to q
plain woman for her painful lack
of symmetrical features and lovely
hair.
Arms, like shoulders, should
possess shapeliness and proper
ton. That is, they must seem to
be of the body and included in the
original plan, instead of being
hastily added as an after-thought.
They must be perfectly moulded
and yet be efficient and graceful
in all their movements.
Briefly, here are the proportions
that have been accepted by com.
petent judges as being the right
measurement for a woman whose
height is approximately five feet
five inches. The upper arm should
be one-third shorter than the fore
arm. The circumference OF the
upper arm should be thirteen
inches; while the forearm should
be nine inches and the wrist six
inches. If you are a trif1e taller
than this, then your arm should
also exceed these proportions by q
very slight degree.
The really beautiful arm looks as
though it were made for ornament
not for use. No muscle is unduly
prominent. 1t should be as soft and
smooth as white velvet II the arm
is too fat, it can be reduced BY
massage with the wringing motion
The arm should be manipulated ex
actly as though you were wringinl
out clothes before hanging then
out to dry.
To develop arms that are to,

In the Open Air
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
rhe Distinguished Authority on Household Efficiency

following the English custom where
all vegetables are served on the
plate direct. and a sauce dish being
unknown as part of a china set.
The art of arranging these tray"
or platter" meals is one worth
study, as the most attractive and
eye-resting results may be achieved.
Just bowl of salad often proves
the most refreshing dish on a hot
Summer evening. The housewife
who serves al fresco meals should
also rely frequently on the jellied
forms of meat, meat loaf, and fruits
and vegetables in aspic or gelatine.
These can be prepared in the morn
ing or on the day previous, and
besides being more healthful in
Summer will save all pot washing
at night.
In exceedingly hot weather little
children are likely to become fretty
and refuse their food. To let such
a child eat outdoors will tempt its
appetite. Indeed any meal may be
made into picnic" so easily that
it is surprising more mothers do not
follow the plan frequently.
Instead Of eating on porch the
meal may be easily. packed into
baskets and carried to a nearby
woods or park. Not only do such
meals mean relaxation for the tired
head of the family but for the
housekeeper, since they remove any
need for much of the clearing up"
and washing Of dishes.
There are on the market excellent
white pasteboard plates so attrac-
tive in finish as to rival the best
china. These come also fitted with
a paraf1n lining SO as to make
them impervious to liquids. These
plates and other dishes come in
various sizes and make the serving
of an outdoor meal truly attractive.
Paper cups, sauce dishes, etc, are
also manufactured and these find
many uses as holders for olives,
salads, etc.
The outdoor meal is not complete
unless accompanied by one or more
vacuum bottles or jars for keeping
liquids hot or cold. There is small
jar holding a pint which may be
filled with iced salad or cream and
taken in the basket. The ordinary
vacuum bottle may hold lemonade
or other fruit beverage, milk or
whatever desired.

IAN you tell me how to get rid
~ Of an ugly purple birthmark

There are several methods in

the use OF carbon dioxide. Others
do 1t by introducing catgut sutures
under the snin a. the base Of the

sutures impede the circulation and

~ NE OF the hopeful aspects OF
this country of ours is that
- it is so willing to change its
tastes, habits, etc, and to assimi
late the best which is brought to
us by the foreign born who come
to live here. Everywhere you will
find general modification of taste
and habit constantly going on.
One Of the most striking of these
changes is the growing desire to
eat outdoors in the way so charac-
teristic of so many peoples across
the sea. The English habit of
taking afternoon tea in the garden
is widely known, and very prob
ably will be missed by our own
boys who have tasted it's pleasant
ness during their sojourn abroad.
The French build loggias and
breakfast rooms opening on ter
race, and the Italians have gone
still further in eating under vino.
covered pergolas.
The advantages are so obvious
that it is surprising that We are
only so recently following suit. To
eat outdoors gives the eye the
restful vista and the lungs the
free air while enjoying the pleas
ure of taste. There is no smoke
or odor of cooking-nothing to mar
the feeling of delight. 1t is well,
then. that we American families
are beginning to take breakfast on
the piazza and to lunch and dine al
fresco.
For the housewife such plan
offers new possibilities in serving.
For the guest it offers the charm OF
health and novelty. Since most OF
us to-day spend our lives cooped
I'D in office or store, 1t is strange
that we should eat in a still more
cooped up house when we could
enjoy the relaxation of outdoor
eating.
Practically, a meal outdoors is
always simpler to serve. 1t is pos
sible to pile one or two trays with
all the food and dishes required
and either carry or wheel them to
the outside porch. In these tray
meals" the meat and vegetables are
placed on single platter instead
of using separate serving dishes.
which, of course. saves dishwash-
ing. Often saucers and sauce
dishes may be similarly omitted

In one town which the author Wis.,
tied on lecture trip there was a
small but attractive park near the
city. And here had been placed at
the order Of the city council what
might be called small brick ovens.
These consisted Of two very large
hollow tiles. One was laid hori-
zontally on the earth, while the
other was placed vertically at the
opening of the other, thus making
a small chimney. The fire was
started by small twigs and leaves
in the horizontal tile, on which a
coffee pot, skillet or sauce pan
could be placed.

The cay the author was there she
saw hundreds of families enjoying
this sensible outdoor plan. Even
the children could make fire with
out any danger in these little ovens,
while the tired mother could easily
fry her chops and heat her coffee
over one of these quaint ovens. Is
this not plan worthy of being fol-
lowed in many other parks?
The al fresco meal is not a fad
but healthful form of Summer
eating. If it so benefits the fatigued
worker as we'll as rests the one who
prepares the meals. why do we not
all pledge ourselves to try it more
frequently during the coming hot
days?
