BOWSER'S LECTURE.
You May Be There When He Delivers
1t.

All at once, as the Bowsers were
eating dinner the other evening, Mrs.
Powser took notice that Mr.. Bowser
had his chest swelled out and a look
of pomposity on his face. Something
had happened, and of course he
wanted to be asked about When she
saw that he did she observed:
81 suppose nothing unusual has &C.
CURED at the office today?"
He looked at her with great dignity
and a little pity mingled with it, and
made no reply for five minutes. Then
he said:
"Oh, it wasn't SO very unusual: was
simply offered a thousand dollars a
week to take the lecture platform
''You don't mean it?" she gasped.
"And why not? It's a fair sum,
hut nothing great, for a man of my

1t was 20 minutes later when they
reached the sitting room, and Mr..
Powser had paced back and forth q
ccore of times when he halted to say:

NERVE AND THE DIRECTOIRE

A prominent writer says: "You
will need all your assurance the
first time you walk out in your
new gown" She means you will
have to know you are absolutely
fit, or you will not be able to wear
1t with satisfaction. If you are
too fat this assurance will be Lack
ing, for II the directoire reveals
anything it reveals fat. Conse-
Quently stout ladies are in duty
bound, out of respect to their own
peace of mind, to reduce and re-
duce quickly-for time is short.
Exercising and dieting being out
|of the question as too tiresomely
long winded and desirable any
way as a sure means of reduc-
tion, the question arises, how shall
any except very slim ladies fit
themselves to wear the new mode
with the necessary assurance. The
answer is Marmola-K ounce, no
more, no less, mixed with V
ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aro-
matte and 8 " ounces Peppermint
Water; all of which any druggist
will supply for a small sum.
This pleasant mixture helps ma
lture to take off fat quickly, many
losing a pound a day, and yet ow-
ing to the domestic character of
its ingredients, It can do no harm.
Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime and test for
yourself the truth of the state
ment that with Marmola alone one
can reduce any time as much or
little as desired without fear of
causing either wrinkles or stom-
ZACH trouble. 1t provides the
means whereby you can train
down to the mode without inter-
ference to your diet or your hab-
Iits.-Adv.

dressmakers have really hardened
back to the middle ages, and
