A Detroit physician says that the
cheapest and safest mixture a fat wo-
man who wants to get thin can use is
one-half ounce Marmola (get it in the
original half-ounce package), one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic
and three and one-half ounces Syrup
Simplex. The proper amount to take
is a teaspoonful after meals and at
bedtime.
These ingredients may be obtained
from any druggist at small cost and
make combination that is not only
excellent as fat reducer. being able.

FRILLS AND BAUBLES

There is a great demand for semi
precious stones. One OF the newest is
aventurine, which is a peculiar. dull
green stone. coming from New zea-
land. and with indefinite sparkles
through the green. Another is anna
zonite. a bright green stone. from the
Amazon River. Lapis lazuli. onyx,
malachite, and quartz are in high
favor, many of these stones being left
in the natural shape. to which polish
is added. They are very beautiful
many Of them.
The newest white gloves are long
and of glace kid. They are slashed at
the top with a kid OF contrasting color,
black being greatly used.
New note paper has the tiniest border
OF pink or blue or gold. Some for
foreign correspondence has the enva-
lopes lined with a thicker paper of
contrasting color. some of Scotch
plaid. The newest monogram has
long. slender letters. interviewer very
gracefully. Gold is the preferred
color. Plain white monograms are
also much used.

will wifehood and motherhood rank m

among his patents scores of overwork-
ed business women. remarked, in clos

mo woman can be divorced from the
home, either as an Individual. instinct

linked together even though some wo-
men do not realize the fact.
every woman in business is a fac
tor in some family circle. or holds pos
sibilities of establishing such a circle.
Nor is her influence confined to her
own immediate family. All uncon-
sciously she permits her very inde-

an ever-widening circle the homes OF

her married friend who has never beer

cannot always counteract.
1T is safe to say that nine-tenths
of the women who break down in busi-

BLUNDERS IN
THE KITCHEN

About the most common blunder. Il
seems is to mistake something or other
for another article very much like
it.
For instance. one girl made an In
dian maize cake-colloQuially known as
a Johnny calSe'-for afternoon tea.
She was most anxious to make It a
success, and sure enough when she
took = out Of the oven it had risen so
high that she felt nightly proud OF
her handiwork.
But, alasl When it came to be cut
it was discovered that instead OF
crushed meal she had used sawdust. a
tin Of which stood on the same shelf.
Rather like this is the story the wo-
man who made a fruit cake. which
when it came to table. was so hard
that it was almost impossible to cut
it,
An investigation of the larder dis
closed the alarming fact that she had
used plaster of Paris instead of flour
Starch. too, has been put into pastry
instead of corn flour, and soap used in
some cakes IN mistake for desiccated
cocoanut. And in neither case was the
mistake discovered until the dish was
actually tasted.

Not only was the taste horrible. but
the dumplings were so hard that the

Magnesia, too. was used in the crust
Of a potato pie. with dire effect.
But perhaps the most amusing in
stance of this sort is the tale of the
girl who put Epson salts into meat-pie
instead Of baking powder.
Marvellous to relate, the pie was
eaten and enjoyed, and did them all
good.

Queer Coffee.

shl more amusing is the story OF
two boys.
The elder was III in bed and his
mother and sisters being out shopping,
his brother was keeping him company.
The invalid having remarked that he
would like a cup of coffee, the small
brother volunteered to prepare it. So
he went down to the kitchen. and TAX
Il ing a bottle of what he supposed to be
coffee essence, made a steaming hot
cup.
His brother thought the taste rather
peculiar, thought it seemed rather fun
ny coffee. but made no remark.
When the mother returned the
younger boy in high glee told her what
a nice cup of coffee he had made.
'But we haven't any coffee in. the

So he showed her the bottle

No wonder the coffee tasted peculiar.
