there be, whatever roasts, whatever

Sleeveless Mode.

There is something very youthful
and jaunty in the sleeveless daytime
frocks that have become so popular
this season. Miladys arms need not
be white to be considered beautiful
since the advent of the Suntan vogue,
but they must be evenly tinted and
shapely. The arm that is pale and
fiabby at the top with skin beloH the
elbow discolored and coarse-grained is
not beauty asset.
The f1abby upper arm is particularly
unlovely. The skin falls into ugly folds
at the armhole when the arms are
hanging relaxed, so that one feels that
it should be allowed to take refuge be-
hind a graceful bit of drapery. Both
exercise and massage treatments are
helpful in bringing flrmness and beauty
to such arms. Almost any arm exer-
else will help replace the fiaccid muscles
with firm, supple ones.
Here is simple set of movements
that can be done every day: Stand
or sit erect with arms held out straight
in front at the shoulder level. Stretch
the arms we'll and tense the muscles.
Keeping the upper arms motionles6,
slowly bend the arms at the elbows,
then bring the right hand to the lett
shoulder and the left hand TO the right
shoulder. Then slowly draw the arms
apart, keeping elbows bent until they
are out at each side of the body at
shoulder level. Then fling the arms
out straight and swing them back as
far as you can, trying TO make the
shoulder blades meet. Relax and re-
peat the exercise 10 to 20 times.
After the exercise period is a good
time for the massage. Cleanse the skin
with soap and warm water, rinse and
dry. Now rub a little cream or olive
oil on the palm of your left hand and
with it massage your right arm. Give
