Black chintzes.

With the black painted English fur
niture, which is again somewhat in
favor for American houses. there is
being used the background chintzes
and cretonnes, on which the same
garlands, flower baskets, festoons and
medallions that decorate the furniture
are profusely scattered.
Other hangings which are used with
the painted furniture are those Of
printed linens which should have light
backgrounds, says the New York Her
aid. and so remove the objection that
some may find to the background
chintzes.
The old designs may be matched ex-
actly in the chintzes and linens. and
in addition to their use as hangings
these fabrics are used for the loose
cushions which are needed to make
the cane and rush seated chairs com
Portable.

]. M. Caldwell, in "Old Irish Life, =
tells story Of d young peasant wom-
an. Sally Sweeny, who used to do
shopping for her family when they
lived in the country.
She could neither read nor write, yet
she never made a mistake with any Of
the messages that were intrusted to
her. Once, however. her memory did
fail her. One OF the ladies of the
family had ordered her to bring back
. yard Of some color OF satin, and the
unaccustomed word slipped out Of
Saliy's recollection. But she did not
allow herself to be beaten without an
effort to recall the word. SO she went
into the principal shop in Galway still

Of three ways: BY dieting, by exercise.
or by means OF MarrnoIa Prescription
Tablets. The two former will keep you
busy for months and punish you pretty
severely; the latter will cost you 75
cents at the druggists The tablets will
not make any alteration in your diet
necessary. and In in all probability, be-
fore you have used up one case, you
will be losing from twelve TO sixteen
ounces OF fat a day. Which method do
you like tho best?
II you fancy this pleasant method Of
getting of the fat. see your druggist in
stanty, or else write the Marmola Co.,

send you a case by mall. These cases
contain SO generous quantity OF tab
lets that the treatment is very econom-
ical. 1t Is. also. quite harmless. for the
tablets are made exactly IN accordance
