REDUCING THE SIZE. The woman whose arms are too plump has a harder task before her Generally they are fairly shapely below the elbow, but! above show too much flesh. Tol reduce them is a matter of hard) massage, preferably given with a niassage roller and bathing with a good astringet lotion, The roller breaks down the fatty tis- sucs, and the astringent ones up the skin and prevents it from] becoming sugged. When maa- saying the aims to reduce. them, the roller, if one is used, should he run upwards, from the elbow to the shoulder, with very firm, hard strokes, and the utmost at- tention should be given to the outside of the arm, for it is lore that the extra flesh accumulates.:
Rod, goose fleshy arms are also " much hnefited by massage. This should be given at night with a good cream; and in the morning, after washing in the usual way, the urnus sliould be rubbed over with a few drops of spirits of wine mixed with half its quantity of rosewater,

ELABORATE AND FESTIVE.
For the past season we have. been working toward a more elaborate and sophisticated type of evening frock, such as this one. It is of white satin embroidered with pearls and gold beads. A shoulder bow of satin is caught in the contre with a white camelid and the long ends give the appearance ofa sleeve drapery,
The hats illustrated to lay are three of the newest. The two upper on-s are of beige, one of straw, the other of felt, trimmed with self-coloured ribbon. The lower, one is of black. felt with with a bangkok straw brim, trimmed with a bunch of quills on the side.
THE EYEBROWS. .
The straight, and very delicate- ly pencilled, eyebrow, which was the fashion a season or two ago, has now been replaced by the arched eyebrow of mild surprise, and training and plucking is re- sorted to in order to acquire line by those who wish to be in the fashion.
If you think that your expres. sion would be improved by an arched eyebrow, you can, train. yours by careful brushing and by removing a hair or two hare and there.
1. But before you attempt to alter the eyebrows that Nature gave you I would advise you to lost the effect of an arched brow with your particular type of features. Take an eyebrow pencil and care- fully pencil in.the arch. Then study yourself carefully in your mirror, and if you find that it im- proves you start to cultivate thei shapo.
Get an eyebrow brush and a small pot of yellow vaseline. Dip the tip of the brush in the vase- line, and brush the brows in the. shape you wish.
Then, with a pair of toilet tweezers, pluck out all those hairs which spoil the line.
To remove these with the tweezers will not be painful if the brows are bathed with warm water before the tweezers atc ap- plied. A little caster oil should
he brushed into the brows every night, taking care to follow the. shape you are training very ex actly.
USES OF OLIVE OIL.
The medicine chest should always contain olive oil. It is invaluable in the case of burns and scalds,
Dry hair beconios soft and silky when the scalp is massaged with a little olive oil.
Brittle nails can be treated by soaking the finger tips in oil:
Stains on the hands disappear ff rubbed with a paste of olive oil and white sugar.
Painful corns can be much relieved by the application of a rag soaked in oil.
The cook will find in olive oili a substitute for butter. Added to fa salad dressing, it gives a
pleasant creamy consistency."
It is an excellent beautifier of the complexion, and should be. taken by all thin and nervy people.
The housewife will find that unsightly marks on polished tables, caused by hot dishes, will disappear if rubbed with a pasto of olive oil and salt.

BY DOROTHY KNAPP
OF THE ZIEGFELD FOLLIES.
Cold water is my favourite beautifier, I start the day with a cold shower, though if the weather is around zero I begin with a tepid one and delay the icy, spray for a few s-conda.
In the evening I always take a warm bath; but finish with a quick cold spray. This, I belieco, hardens the flesh and keeps it firmly molded.
Talso finish every massage that I give my neck, shoulders: and arms with a cold water rinse.
If I feel very tired and Jialless; I drinks two giuasca of cold water, they make a cold compress and hold it over my eljes for 10 or 15 minutes while I lie on the bed perfect! relazed. This always brings back a sparkle, und 1 fool as revived as Aqwers must after a summer rain.
To all beauty seekers, I advise the water wagon.
