smile two r f dainty pointed feet peeling peeking out like tiny mice from beneath a long gown anda and a n pair of slender hands half half- half concealed concealed by lacy glo cs es The Tho remainder of the beautys beauty's charms were sere ere carefully hidden beneath yards and yards aids of bro bro- brocade brocade cade cIde or satin which deftly concealed eten en en the curve of the neck and the deli cate sate roundness of the arm and the arch archi of the ankle Now all aU this is changed as e sith Ith eyes to see Bee is perfectly well aware Women have gone with curious sudden sudden- suddenness suddenness suddenness ness from the one extreme of df f prudish concealment of their charms to the other extreme of the frankest exhibition of them The present spirit of undress has tre tre- tre- tre tremendously tremendously tremendously increased the difficulties of the woman who wants to look her Iler best For it is obvious that all aU women omen are not born with perfect back neck and arms Our grandmother who had scrawny arms passed as a beauty in the days of the CivIl War simply because her arms were never seen and she was judged by her face and hand handle and general figure alone But with our modern fashions of dress the woman toman with a scrawny arm or an ugly neck or a blemished back must go goo goto q o to a lot of pains and expense to remedy I the defect or be forever unhappy over II the poor appearance she makes Since the back arms and other parts of a womans woman's body which she formerly II kept carefully hidden from view have I been exposed to ga gaze all sorts of plans are being sugg suggested sted for improving improving I ing fag on nature and making these parts I more beautiful I In Paris for example many women are now taking up with enthusiasm the 1 new system of physical training which i has for its aim lIim the development of grace and nicely rounded symmetry in the j arms Lieutenant Hebert a well wen known ti authority on n physical culture who is sponsoring the new I system says that too much attention Is being paid by french women to developing shapely legs and not e ci enough ugh to developing well well- well formed formed arms Ho points out that a woman toman reveals her arm almost as much as she ahe does her j face and yet few women give any atten atten- attention attention tion to the care eare of the arm To remedy j I this condition he is urging urging French Frenchwomen Frenchwomen women to put their arms through a care care- careful careful careful I ful course of training The first thing be he recommends is to swing a chair backward and forward for first with one arm and then the other for a n few minutes each morning Strange to say he be advises this treat treat- treatment treatment ment for women with fleshy arms as well as for tor those whose arms arc are too thin For It not only increases the muscular i I tissue where hero there iSI not enough but It ItI removes superfluous flesh

rough wrinkled or scarred skin on A bare arm One Otte of the new new ew uses wea j that Is being made of tho the fanoy fancy handkerchief handkerchief now so much in vogue is to tie it around the

scale than ever when one considers bow how vet very much more of the feminine figure is exposed thanin former times timea Beauty is both an art and a 11 science Many women treat it only as an art but tho wiser ones give serious thought to the scientific development de of beauty here Are arc methods nowadays of reshaping reshaping ing the contour of neck back and arm of correcting sagging flesh or ing blemishes and of enhancing restoring nc- nc ing or creating beauty Although much depends on the color coloring ing fag the tho smoothness and other qualities of the skin most authorities are arc agreed that beauty Is a great de deal more than skin akin deep It depends to a large e tent extent on the degree of development and the proportions of the bones and muscles and the th layers of fatty tissue underneath the protecting covering of the skin Yet Yeta a mans man's eye eyo is as a rule held fascinated by a 11 skin skID There are few women so finely proportioned proportioned that even though their complexions are poor they Are greatly admired for the sake of their figure figures alone Merely a fine complexion however does not make malo a woman beautiful If her back is crooked for Instance she fihe will not appear beautiful in evening dress no matter how white and smooch h her skin In a recent search made by doctors all allover over Canada and the United States to find a
