It is the wisdom of ancient days that the latter you become the quicker you weary. One sits out more dances than form er1y, the flesh grows weaker after 1:3O a. r1., in exact ratio to the 1engthening of the waist meas ure. Fat is robbing you of fun, just at a time when you have the leisure and the cash for it.
 You may reduce that fatty over plus, and so revive your Tagging en- ergies, if you will, in the simplest way. You can take off pound of it a day, if you wish, without causing weakness, or wrinkles, or calling upon exercis- ing or dieting for help. For years fashionable fat people have been us ing the famous Marmola Prescription, F oz. Marm ola, F oz. Fl. Ex. Cascara Aromatic. 3 F oz. Peppermint Water. Now these same proportions have been combined most elegantly, into a tablet, the Marno1a Prescription Tab let

MIR. SMITHS ssSAM
 SANFORD'' MIXTURE

The late Samuel S. Sanford was a lover of a good pipe and his favorite mixture was a. concoction prepared by D. D. Smith, the tobacconist at A Fairfield avenue. For many years MT. Sanford always had this mixture put up for himself and after a, while other pipe smokers became aware that the great musician had something that was good and at the same time inex- pensive. They began to ask for some of the Samuel Sanford Mixture, so that today there, are several hundred men who are smoking the mixture which is composed of number Of high grade tobaccos. The mixture contains about three-fourths of a pound and costs little more than buy ing tobacco in packages.
 MT. Smith was asked yesterday how he accounted for the popularity of this mixture. He replied: t'It has a pecu- liar flavor and the fragrant smell of the smoke is such that women do not object to having it smoked in the house."
 MT. Smith is also offering a, fine grade of five and ten cent clear and seed Havana cigars. This and his line of domestic goods represents one of the largest lines kept in this part of the State.
 In the stock there is also a large number of Manila brands of cigars which have come in to this country under the new tariff laws.

ALLIANCE FRANCHISE.

On Tuesday evening. March 8, an illustrated lecture entitled, La Col onisation au Moyen Age, will be de- livered before the Bridgeport Group of the Alliance Francaise by Mon sieur Camille Eulart, official lecturer of the Federation.
 M. Eulart 1ectured in this city last December, a few days after his ar rival in this country. His lecture was so thoroughly enjoyed on that occas- ion, that the members of the Group are anticipating with great pleasure his second visit to this city.
 M. Eulart is just returning from an extended tour among the Gro ups of the Alliance F'rancaise in all parts of the United States and in Canada. To mention the Groups by name be- fore which M. Eu1art has 1ectured, would be to give a list of the princi- pal cities ana the leading universi- ties of America. Every where the lectures of M. Eu1art have aroused the greatest enthusiasm, not only o1, account of the interesting character of their subject matter and charming literary style, but also on account of the delightful personality of the speaker.

 Large handbags are not now in the
 best style; the newest are small, made of undressed kid. The tunic probably will be the dis tinctive note of the season for the coIored linen gown. r Handsome waists are those of pom gee, with the Bulgarian embroidery in blues, reds or greens.
 Some of the prettiest of the French cotton grenadines come in white with rib bon stripes of colors. Semi precious stones, set in exquisite filagree work, are in high favor as daytime ornaments. CouarIess frocks of handsome Weaves in soft materials are still in vogue for all sorts of indoor occasions.
 Very stunning are large gunmetal hatpins. A single rhinestone is in the center of the disk-shaped top.
 The lingerie gown is promised a great vogue, and this, of course, means a great vogue for embroidery.
