Show Interest In Child's Work
 At School
By EMILE. HOFFMAN

WHEN little Peggy comes home w some day soon and hands you
 that decorated invitation to at- tend the Kindergarten party and eagerly asks, Will you go, motherT' do not put her off with the reply, "I'll see."
 It is her first exhibition day and a very important event in her life. One little lad, to the great amusement of his family, proudly informed them he was gone ter graduate" He insisted upon wearing a white suit and having a flower in his buttonhole. The day registered very high in his young life. Promotion to the first grade means much to most kindergarteners.
 So, when eager Peggy gives you the invitation which she, herself, decorated, comment on its prettiness and make her happy by saying, .''Of course shall go." Even if it does occur on your cleaning day and means great inconvenience to you, the encourage ment and pleasure 1t gives your child is well worth the sacrifice. The happy glances cast your way during the motion songs, the cute little dances and the orchestral music in which Peg gy has part will repay you.
 When the big son announces, that the annual exhibit of school work is to take place and he says: Dad, wish you and mother would come to it." do not make excuses Any prior engagement is we'll worth cancelling

New System of Fat Reduction

Here's new way for all fat people to laugh together at that old bugaboo Obesity. The saying that there is nothing new under the sun" does not now apply to fat people any more. Here ia something new for them--new sensation, a new pleasure, q new and graceful figure easily found by anyone who is passing beyond the limits of slimness. Everyone has heard of the Marmola Prescription; that harmless combination of fat-defying clements perfected by one of the foremost physicians. Now, from the same high authority, there comes another idea-the idea of condensing these same. pure, harmless ingredients into a pleasant little tablet. Taken after eating and at bedtime. they help the stomach to dis pose of sll the fatty foods, converting them into compact. solid flesh. muscle and energy. without dieting or exercise.
 Matmola Prescription Tablets regulate the entire system--do for you what bodily exertion and self denial cannot do. and the fat once routed. is gone for good, You can prove all this at q trifling cost. Marmolo Prescription Tablets are sold by all idruggists or sent postpaid by the Marmolo Company. General Motors Build ing, Detroit. Mich. A box-suffictent to bring results--is but one dollar.

gueritte Plagiarized Her Novel
 How could Victor Marguerite, whose novel La Garconne" was published July II, 1922, have plagiarized Mime. Marie Laparecrie's novel. Les Amants de Rosine." which did not appear until tyo months later?
 Mime. Laparcerie's attorneys, I'M. Campinchi and Loewel, were recently asked this question in court where the woman novelist's suit for damages is being tried.
 Their explanation was that, while M. Marguerittee certainly could not have read Mime. Laparcerie's novel, which is in two volumes, nevertheless, home time before the publication of ".La Garc6n- me-" the plaintiff had dined with NJ. Marguerite and had on that occasion sketched the plot of her forthcoming book to, the defendant in the strictest confidence and that, subsequently,, she had been disagreeably surpriserd to rec ognize her own plot when reading La Garconne"
 Whence, according to the plaintiff's attorneys the latters had sustained

 The boy or girl who knows that the family will be represented at the exhibit will do his or her best work.
 You will probably greatly enjoy the exhibit. The work accomplished by the pupils may be a revelation to yoG. A short conversation with the teachers may mean much in the school advan- tages of your child (and do not forget few words of appreciation to the 'teacher) but, most of all, it means encouragement to the child. Mothers or fathers interest is great incentive to best efforts, Such stimulation means so much to the child that it should be freely given by every parent.

 Two young women in this city hay, written the following letter which em phasizes these questions
 We are two girls, eighteen and twenty-one, who dress rather well, dance and like outdoor sports and so of course we have opportunities to go out with different young men, but we always find that after we go out with a young fellow for a couple of months he's afraid that you might take him seriously; con- sequently you don't see him any more.

damages which could only be satisfied to the tune of 50,000 francs.
 "The case is not one of plagiarism" declared Ernest Charles for Victor Mar gueritee, nor can damages rightfully be claimed. It is true that one evening at dinner-butson on Procession only, and not in the course of numerous conversa- tions, as Mme. Laparcerie claims--the author of Les Amants de Rosine' ex- plained the general idea of this novel to the author of La Garconne' But that was in 1919 and La Garconne' did not appear until three years later"

and protect the skin; not to change it's color. When it was impossible to obtain nuances of color in powders, we heard much more about the fragrant use of cosmetics than we do now.
 Rouges, too, are now compounded to match certain powders. Once upon time there was but one shade of rouge to be had-a violent kind of pink. You can find perhaps a score of shades at

Nowadays there is no limit to the possibilities of materials and the more unusual they are the smarter. In the sketch is shown one of the new 'short jackets of plaid taffeta worn with a frock of crepe de chine. The dress is blue whilet he jacket has a white ground plaided in blue and yellow with an oc- casional line of black for accent.

The Trend Of Fashion

IN these days of sudden changes it is H difficult to keep fabrics in their
 place. Those that once were look ed upon as purely utilitarian suddenly make their appearance in circles far removed from their former sphere, while materials once considered appropriate only for occasions of ceremony now are used for sports costumes or those of equal informality.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-15

One has become so accustomed to the novel use of materials that a sports coat of taffeta excites little comment other than admiration, nor is a little jacket of plaid gingham lined with crepe de chine regarded in anything but the most favorabl, light.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-15

Who could have dreamed that ere tonne or chintz would be chosen for dinner dress, and yet this is the fabric employed by one of the most famous French designers for q delightful little frock. To be sure, the design is out lined in gold thread and tiny crystal beads, but this does not change the character of the fabric itself-it still remains cretonne.

she has. My position has been the draw

heart 1 know she loves me, I surely
love her Don't you think, as / don't ex-
pect to climb much higher in my position.
that l should go ahead with her. and we
could do the best we could? GEORGE.
L most certainly do not think you
should ask the girls company.
Either ask her TO marry you, or con
tinue as just one of her men friends.
Those are the only fair ways.
If you feel that you could make the
girl happy you might give her a
chance to choose between luxury in
her own home, or just comfort, in
yours. Il am presuming you could
make her Comfortably The fact that
she has not married, at her age, might
indicate that she would be willing to
give up much for you. Perhaps she
is just waiting.
But you seem to lack ambition. Why
not climb higher?" If 1t is lack of
education that might hold you back
that is a lack that can be made up
through study outside of working
hours If you really want to go high
or, for the girls sake. you will find
q way.
