| with some prospect OF coming out
even on the speculation. which they
never would have done had not the
war put the marines training camp
down there; for with all deferences
to the speculative gentlemen ouantico
has not. under normal circumstances,
the makings OF a fashionable summer
resort-or even a popular one. But
there are a lot Of women OF social
importance. like Mrs. Biddle. who are
down there now to be near their hus-
bands. who are reserve officers in the
Marine Corps. And even conceding
that Quantico might have its points
as a summer resort, IL has absolutely
none as a winter resort.
Under the title OF lie Soir" Louis
Thompson has Just published a little
volume OF poems in an edition limited
to 200 copies. In this Mr.. Thompson
has shown an exact appreciation OF
the smallness OF his audience, for his
poems are OF the kind that appeal only
to the true lover of beauty, to those
in whom the artistic instinct is pre-
dominant, and these unfortunately are
few.
One can easily imagine that in a
friendly gathering OF representatives
Of the four arts. the reading OF these
poems would cause a warm discussion
on the theories of art, a discussion
that would reach the whitehead point
as those OF the old school grew en-
thusiastic in their admiration for the
classical forms. while the modern"
clamors for perfect freedom OF express
sion as long as the result is beauty
the ultimate goal OF art
But in one point we are certain that
both "ancients" and "moderns" would
agree, that in La Crepuscule" Mr..
Thompson has given US a prose poem
of rare beauty and descriptive power.
Not marred like "L'Apies Midi and
lie Soir." with which it forms a
trilogy of word paintings by an undue
striving after effect and psychological
deductions, La Crepuscule" does
more than paint the twilight; II makes
one feel its gradual approach, its pas
sage into night-it even allows a
glimpse Of the dawn TO follow.
There is another prose poem, The
Willow" after the Japanese. that in

How to Reduce
Fat Without Diet
ing or Exercise

This Is the time when fat people
should be thinking about reducing
their weight and should stop making
the fat that is such a burden to them.
The best way and the easiest way Is
the one about which so much has been
written this past year. This way Is the
harmola way. The famous Marmola
Prescription has been prepared in tab
let form. These little tablets contain
nothing but the elements that go TO
change the best things that produce
fat into good, strong blood, nerves. It's
sues and bone. More than this, these
tablets absorb and remove the fat re-
naming at the rate of two, three or
four pounds a week. You must not
confuse MarmoIa Prescription Tablets
with harmful patent drugs and hurt
full reducing methods. These tablets
go into your stomach just like thv
food you eat. They build up the
juices of your digestive organs and
correct these juices so that they
produce no more fat They are
harmless, yet thousands Of men and
women all over this land today are
of firm figure and normal size be-
cause OF these little tablets. This is
why every druggist everywhere car
ries them lin stock and will sell them
to you. II your druggist does not
have them or you would rather send
75 cents, the price OF case, 70 the

them to you at once in plain pack

DR.. Morton presided at a meeting
in New York last week when q
woman's hospital with flying dis
pensaries" and costing $4,000 was
declared the aim of the woman
physicians of that city. Already a
substantial subscription has been
received towards the funds.
Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop. Of San
Francisco, Cal. who had been in
France at the head of the American
Funds for French Wounded dispen-
saries. which are auxiliary TO the
Red Cross, told of the situation
there at the same meeting. When II
was found that others besides those
bearing arms needed care and at
tention this organization started
chain Of dispensaries, with Toul as
the center.
The child in France is in q very
serious condition" Mrs. Lathrop
said. There are very few chill
dren in France now and there are
no babies. The birth rate has gone
down tremendously, until 1t is
something like nine to every one
thousand persons. The people who
went to France found little to do.
We were told to take the next in
Importance, the child OF from three
years up. We are doing all we can
to make these children normal.
War conditions are responsible
for the low physical condition of
the children of France. The Ameri-
can Fund for French Wounded has
established the rest hospital for
women and children at Toul. From
this base radiate numerous dispen-
saries in charge of women repre-
senting the cities which have sub
scribed to the fund"
The American Fund for French
wounded has several automobiles
and corps of drivers, but it lacks
mechanics. Mrs. Lathrop said. A
young woman Of st. Paul Mimi, is
going to take to France a force OF
women mechanics to have entire
charge of the organizations garage.
Poor Mrs. McLean-you remember
twas said a short time ago how she
was sometimes seen out late at night,
atter some entertainment, in evening
dress. and a dream Of a rose coIored
evening cloak, out in Mcpherson
square giving her dogs a little mid
night frolic. with Mr.. Mclean some
where in the offing. Well, she has
lost one OF them-of course the one
she loved best; it has gone wherever
good dogs go when their earthly trials
are over, and she is feeling dreadfuIy
ABOUT It One does become so attached
to the affectionate woolly things. who
are at once so entirely dependent and
SO wholly devoted. Any one who has
dogs will understand and sympathize.
It Is pretty nearly heroic Of Mrs. A.
J. Drexel Biddle to be living down at
Quandco to be near her husband. who
is commissioned in the Marine Corps
reserve stationed down there. II can't
be very comfortable, even though
there is that great big Quantico Hotel
down there. which Eldredge Jordon
and some OF his running mates put
up as a speculation, with the idea of
making a fashionable resort" of
