Fat Is Out of Style

To paraphrase Caesars remark, the
directoire gown came-was seen-and
has conquered. So fat ladies are re-
duced. so to speak. to the necessity OF
either reducing at a very rapid rate
or eliminating themselves from public
view until the fashion dies out. Other
wise they risk being ridiculous.
Since many fat ladies will not elimi-
nate themselves, however, but. per
contra, will insist. on wearing the
curveless gown, no course is open to
this wel1-meaning scribe, other than to
tell them how they may eliminate the
fat.
What is there. then that reduces fat
safely2 What pleasant inexpensive article
is there on druggists shelves that can re-
duce a pound a day without causing
wrinkles or stomach ache? What can the
pharmacists offer as an Improvement over
scanty yictuals or ten mile walks without
breakfast? Is there anything pleasant to
take and inexpensive to buy that will re-
duce one uniformly, quickly and innocent
" thirty pounds a month? Here is the
answer: Either write the Marmola Com
pany, Dept 395 Detroit Mich, or ask your
local druggist for-Marmola Prescription
Tablets, and for IS cents they or he will
give you one large case of these safe fat
reducers, containing so generous a guam
tity of tablets that sometimes one case
only is needed to produce the desired re-
suits. Can you match that for a simple
solution of your problem?

This little matinee may be easily
made by the home dressmaker. Its
lines are very graceful, and the gar
ment, though having an elaborate ap-
pearance. is in reality very simple.
The requisites are several yards of
wide Val lace edging. yard strip of
two-inch insertion, some ribbon and
China silk for the slip. The entire
garment is fashioned of two strips of
edging laid with top edges together
and joined by either fagotting or bead
ing. The scarfs thus made are thrown
over the shoulders; the fullness is held
into the waist by narrow ribbons,
