K.: The following treatment will make the skin on the arms as smooth and white as you desire. These enlarged pores, which are often called "goose flesh" are very much like the familiar pimple on the face. They are caused by excretions from the skin which collect in the pores and harden and finally become visible as as a small lump. The treatment follows: Scrub the arms very thoroughly With hot water, a. morlpra.tplv stiff tfacv 1 brush and white castile soap. Put a nancinu or bran in the water, for this is cleansing and makes the skin soft and white. Rinse the arms with clear warm water and then with cold. If the arms chap after a few days of this treatment rub them with a little olive oil immediately after the hot rinse. This treatment is simply a way of cleansing the skin anrl stimulating tno i pores to throw off this hardened mat ter. 13 M 1 All inquiries addressed lo Miss Forbes in care of the "Beauty Chats" depart ment will be answered in these columns in their turn.
