BEAUTY CHATS
Teh Arms Again.

Are your arms graceful? The best
shaped arms in the world will not
show their beauty II they are not
gracefully used, whereas arms ugly
in themselves will seem beautiful if
the woman knows how to manage
them. The all hands and arms" feel
ing is fatal to good looks.
If you don't think this Is so. watch
actresses on the stage. on the screen;
watch dancers particularly, since they
study how to make use of their arms
to carry out the graceful motions of
their dancing. In this short space
can only give you a few hints-mostly
"dont'S."
II your arms are not beautifully
shaped, don't wear short sleeves. That
is most important, for the covered
arm will never be awkward.
If your arms aren't naturally grace
full, don't lean with your elbows on
the table. 1t is trying position.
Neither lean on the table with your
arms folded on 1t. It's a position that
makes the shoulders ugly by hunch
ing them. and the arms seem ugly as
a result.
Don't ever lean with your elbows on
your knees; no one could look beauti-
full that way.
Don't fidget with your hands and
arms. Don't carry your arms stiff1y.
Don't fold your arms with the hands
tucked under the elbows. This is a
trying position for any one.
Your arms cannot look badly, when
you are sitting idly, II your hands lie
clasped in your lap. or along the arms
of a chair. For one thing, the posi-.
ton is relaxed and easy, therefore
graceful.

arms look better so.

SoURCE-b Given Name.
EDDY

One source of the family name of
Eddy. or as it is more often spelled
in that case. Edie, is the given name
of Adam, as has been explained in
the previous article. This develop
nent is principally from Scotland and
the north of England.
But the more common derivation OF
the family name of Eddy and the fore
going variations is from the old Anglo
Saxon given names, of which Ed is
the first syllable.
Ediker, for instance, is but a diff
ferent spelling Of the given name Of
Edgar, and as a matter Of fact is
somewhat closer to the ancient spell
ing than is Edgar itself. The Anglo
SaXons spelled this name "Eadigar,"
and it had the meaning of happy"
All of these given names. Edgar.
Edward and Edmund were shortened
customarily TO Ed in the period of
history in which family names began
to form, just as We so shorten them
today
There are many who see posi-
hilities Of deriving the name from the
Gaelic "eddee,' which means an "in-
structor." from the Anglo-SaXon led"
and "ea" (meaning "backing-water'' or
"whirlpool'0, or from the Welsh
"eddu." denoting motion; but the
weight of evidence is against these
explanations.

NEED MOISTURE.

While termites can not be driven
out of their habitations in wood by in
secticides or fumigation, they can be
killed off by introducing concrete or
treated wood insulation between the
building and the ground at all founda-
ton or post contacts, as they can not
live without the moisture that may be
secured through their passageways IN
to the ground.
Each spring and fall the termiteSS
emerge from the woodwork of infested
buildings as flying ants" and this
swarming may be the first indication
Of their presence. PROMPT action on
the first appearance of the ants may
avoid much damage. but their con
tinued boring of minute tunnels IN
sills. posts, joists, etc, is certain 70
