Question lis there any
thing to be done about fiabby
upper arm? I am over 20 but
I like to wear sleeveless
dresses but I am self-con-
scious about my arms. Please

! Answer Spring Byington
agrees that one place women
need to work on and often
neglect is the upper arms.
She says, You'll be surprised
how these can firm up, mine
have. with weight lifting ex-
ercises. I hold a covered brick
b each hand and raise these
slowly above my head until
my elbows are straight. Then
] lower them slowly. The
more you do this exercise
the slower you are able to do
It." II you want to lose weight
as well as firm your muscles,
DO the exercise faster.

Question II saw Ethel
Norman when I was IN New
York and I wonder II you
would ask her how she man
4ges to have so much energy.
iAdele, Philadelphia.)
= Answer Here is what
Ethel Norman says: Part Of
having energy is because I
don't believe in tearing my
self down with worry. I try
to do all I can about q prob
lem and then I figure what's
to be is going to be. But diet
has a lot to do with 1t, too. I
love raw meat and when I
need energy ! eat q pound Of
1t . day. And when I'm tired
4 drink hot tea with honey
I'm It,"
I Question: am 20 years
old and I have considered
myself more or less attractive,
but ] md now that I want to
reduce my waist. I hope you
can help me. (Judi K. New
York City,
Answer-Lori Nelson be-
heves In exercise. Here is one
Of her favorites: II use q
lightweight pole. Actually the
top Of an old broom, cut
about three feet, will do. I
place this across my shoul-
F.; ders and hold the end Of the
stick with my hands so my
arms and elbows are away
from my body. Keeping my
knees straight and the lower
part Of me still, I twist the
upper part Of my body as far
to the right as ! can. Then
! repeat this. twisting to the
left. This exercise will re-
duce the waist and it will
also improve the posture"
Question: am almost Il
years old and I have little
hard bumps on my face
under the skin. What can I
do to make them 60 away.
! sure would thank you for
telling me how to get rid Of
them. Virginia B. Green's
boro, North Carolina.)
AnSwer-Gigi Perrau, who
has o lovely skin now, had q
similar problem. She says:
Pour boiling hot water in a
basin. Then put your face
down close to 1t with q bath
towel over your head and
shoulders to keep the steam
in. Stay there until you are
sure your pores are open.
Then make a lather of pure
CASTLE soap and mix salt in
It. Rub this gently over your
face with your flngertips.
Don't irritate the skin but
softly go over it in little
circles. Then wash OF the
lather with warm water and
Then rinse and rinse with lots
OF cold water to close the
pores again." This worked
for Gigi and I hope 1t works
Tor you.
