NEW YORK.-(Special correspond
IN ence.)-At a matinee the other
day, my companion and ! followed
an extremely pretty girl to the box
office. appraising her with whole
hearted admiration for the rather dar-
ing but tremendously becoming large
black hat. long skirted frock. showing
no more than six inches of patents
and filmy hosiery, and a close fitting,
long cape with monkey fur collar.
Presently she appeared directly in the
row in front of us. dropped back the
cape. and exposed a pair of beautifully
nodded arms, sleeveless from the shoui-
der.
What do you make Of that. Wat

The Dash of Savagery
Going home up Fifth avenue. there
was a window bearing the officlal
stamp of the sleeveless gown for day
wear. in black canton and gray. and
beige and brown. on waxen figures,
hated and fur necked, ready for the
new occupant to step out of a midday
~here'er her fancy led her. gloved or
gloveless. according to taste.
Any new departure like this naturally
startles on first appearance but gwen
a month or two everybody is following.
Undoubtedly ere many new moons
arms will be projecting themselves
wholesale in true bathing suit fashion
EXCEPT. perhaps. for a dash of savagery
in bracelets encircling both upper and
lower arms.
Funny sector of the so-called human
race. we wimmin are. Since fashion

meled arms. Which should teach fash

the best of women too covered up. For
the beauty of the landscape maybe it
were better to have let the l4-inch
skirt hem remain.
The Blow to Romance
The short skirt is ancient history
now. however, and the sleeveless frock
most certainly upon us. II not totally

II got a blow the other night.

".Say. deer rcnlied my adorer of
that other night, it seems to me your
arms are getting awtully fat.
Fat arms are destructive of sentl-
ment. awfully. There is such an ugly
flabbiness about them. a deliberate
looking piling up of g%rossness that is
not to be pitied. for the simple rason
il can be worked off. though perhaps
not with the ease with which il was
laid on. Simply enough. if one does
not wait until the upper arm resembles
the companion piece of a well ordered
pot of cabbage.
Regulation. Vim and vjgor
Skinny arms will get by where fat
ones will not. But there is a happy
medium which both may strive for and
by the same route, strange as it may
seem: that is. making use of the mus

Of the body.
The weighty arm invariably accom-
panies a general addition of avoirdu-
pois. and may be trained down along
with the rest of the figure by a gen
eral diet and exercise regime, the de-
tails of which I shall gladly furnish
any interested person.
But even this would involve special
exercises for the arms. and this sur

following exercises, if done with regu-
