FRENCH novelist has been declaring that
woman fights her battles and particu
larly her love battles with her arms.
" Woman wins love's battles, not with
hef head nor with her heart," ays this
writer, "but with her arms."
Woman drinks your health, not with
her lira nor with her ryes, but with her
arms. She lifts her goblet and drinks to you with the
superb motion of her wrist and hands. Woman cheers
ou with her arms. They lie along her lap when she Is
at leisure, making her n picture of Joy. Woman re
proaches you with her arms, for she shakes a shapely
tinner at you and she rolls her sleeves back and makes
you admire her arms.
Woman shows her arms when she wants to charm
you. She wears a gown which displays them from
shoulder to thumb,
" When sin- works woman uses her arms," says the
novelist; "she rolls up her sleeves and bares them and
when she plays she also shows them. Tes. and when
she Is In earnest, for It Is then that she pushes up her
Bleeve and lets you know that she means business."
Fashion at last Gives Arms Chance.
For the first time In all history the fashions of
woman are designed artistically. They are made so as
to show the 'beautiful part of a woman's arm and to
conceal the ugly part. Woman wears the bridge sleeve
when she Is playing cards. This Is the sleeve that Is cut
off Just above the elbow. She wears the cotillon sleeve
when she Is dancing. This Is the sleeve which Is puffed
at the shoulder and cut off there. It Is the sleeve which
shows the whole of the arm and part of the shoulder,
the most beautiful sleeve of history.
For the street woman wears the Dutch sleeve. This
Is the sleeve that Is cut off Just below the elbow, the
sleeve which shows Just a little of the arm, Just enough
arm to be beautiful for every day use.

Woman Is showing her arms appropriately for the
first time In all history. And the cosmetic doctors, the
beauty specialists, and the physical culturlsta are be
ginning to take note. If your arm is not all It ought to
be It Is time to sit up and observe.
How many women know the Gibson girl by her
arms? Probably every woman In- the world who reads
was
and observes. An estimate of the Utbboii arms
given in an Kngllsh paper. It said:
"The Olbson girl's arms have real bones in them.
And the bones are covered by soft, smooth flesh, of
which there is not a single ounce too much. They are
long, beautiful arms, smooth and firm and not too round.
They are not skinny arms, but they are live flesh and
blood arms. They are long srms. loo. and one wonders
what the real live (lilison girl does when she wanls a
shirt waist. Surely she might make them, for her
fingers look as capable ns her arms."
The long supple arm Is a great attraction in a
woman. Rachel fought her stage battles with her arms.
Once when 111 she was told that she could not go upon
the stage; perhaps for a long time; perhaps never.
"I shall go," said she with the willfulness which
characterized her. " And if I am so 111 that I cannot
apeak above a whisper I can at least wave my arms."
And wave her arms she did. When her voice gave out
and her words failed her utterly she threw her arms In
the air, tore her hands apart with a fierce gesture, sank
upon her knees, and spread out her arms. The gesture
was more significant than any words could possibly
have been.
Lady Randolph Churchill owes nine-tenths of her
charm to her arms. She wears her sleeves quite short
and always carries something In her hands. Those
hands and those arms plead for themselves.
The loveliest arms In the world belong to the prin
cess of Pless. The shah, when he visited England, hap
pened to see those arms, and for five minutes he spoke
not one word, but stood and gaied. It was at a special
drawing room and the princess of Pless was there In all
her regalia. The shah saw her, asked that she be pre
sented,, and when she approached, all bows, as befits
one of lower rank, his majesty lifted his glass and
stared. Such arms he had never before seen. They
were twined with diamonds from shoulder to wrist.
Paraffin Offen Resorted To.
Women who have bad arms are going to a specialist
In Paris to have them renovated. They get them
plumped with paraffin, and they get them rounded out
With massage. They have them bleached with peroxide,
nd they have the superfluous hair taken off, and they
have a full line of dimples put In. A first class beauty
specialist will put a dimple In a woman's elbow and an
other one In her shoulder, and he will set a line of dim
ples nlong her knuckles. He will work until her arms
and hands are babyish and pretty.
Paraffin Is a dangerous thing to handle, but arms
are being padded out with It. The pa ratlin Is Injected
underneath th skin while in a soft or liipild condition.
It hardens and then the work begins. Hefuro it gets
firm the specialist molds It. working It with his finger
tips until the arm Is the right shape. Then he sends
the patient home. The next day the arm Is sore and
there Is a feeling of intense IrrlfHtlon. In ten days the
patient Is back for another Injection of paraffin. To
make the arms the right sle and shape four treatments
generally are necessary.
All World Has Beautiful Arm Secrets.
The arms can be plumped wlthoiit paraffin, but It
requires a lot of time and a bundle of patience. H.r
Is the formula used by a Viennese specialist wf
plumped out the arms of Ixmdon society woman. Her
arms were steamed once a day. Twice a day they were
massaged In oil. And the oil, being of the kind that
sinks in, did much good. The skin became saturated
and the grease oozed out of It. Soon her rms began
to puff out, then they began to measure rrore, and the
flesh became firmer. And at the end of threi weeks they
were plump arms. Then she bleached them. And, when
she returned to London she had arms that were as fine
as the finest.
