How They
Grew Thin

You viii be surprised, if you look
around, at how many people have grown
thin in late years. II is evident that some
new method has come into very wide use.
II has been found that a weak gland
is a great cause Of obesity. So modern
physicians have been fighting that cause
without starvation diets.
This right method is embodied in
Marmola prescription tablets. People
have used them for p years-millions
of boxes Of them. Now in almost every
circle the delightful results are apparent
A book in each box of Marmola tells
you how and why il acts. The formula
Is given. Go try this remarkable, this
natural means. Ask your druggist today
for a 81 box Of Marmola. You owe tina
to yourself

would lt be f w, had white coats? Now when VIC dive We at once go out or si2ht, but with white coats We cOul6 be seen lnd"r water casi- ly. A white coat may be all right for Jumper and for Shadow the Weasel, but I doubt if even with them 1t IS wholly d blessing"
 What do you mean?" asked Stumpy.
 You will find" replied Jerry, that there are times even in vin- ter when the ground is bare. Some time the snow is long in coming. Jumper and Shadow get their white coats before the snow comes and then they are just as easily seen by their enemies as we are now with our brown coats don't want white coat. No. sir l don't want a white coat. If old Mother Nature should come along and offer me one I would thank her and say that I am quite satisfied with what l have"
 Stumpy thought this over for d while. The more he thought about it the clearer it was to him that Jerry Muskrat was right. He looked at his own brown coat and the more he looked at it the better pleased with it he was. He had thought white coat very lovely, but so was brown one. So gradually Stumpy changed his mind and the next time he saw Jumper the Hare there was no envy left. In fact he vas thankful he didn't have a white coat, His brown coat seemed just suited to his needs, as indeed if was. So, without knowing it, Stumpy had gained wisdom. for it is the part of wisdom to waste no time in wanting those things it was not in- tended you should have.

White. Hat Outfits Lend New Chic. to Style Scene

Nothing is smarter than white hats this winter. But certainly noth- ing is worse than the white hat worn with the wrong costume. White hats do a lot for a woman. But they ask lot of her, in the first place. It is reciprocity and nothing else that they hold out for
 The entire costume must take in to consideration that a white hat tops it, or that thing called chic can never be captured.
 One of the most successful ways Of weaving a white hat is that adopted by the majority of women
 who sponsor them. That is, have all of your accessories white, huff, fur scarf, gloves, jewels and of course some white touch to your frock un-
 der your coat. This usually is black outfit with white accessories.
 An unusual white hat outfit was worn the other day by a woman fa- nous for her costumes. She wore a soft, Trenchy coat of novelty white mixed with the black. The raglan shoulders and the collar of the coat, which fastened right up around her throat in it's own scarf line, had second plaid, this one predominant ly white, with the least bit of gray to shade it into the black. The white of the plaid came at the top of the collar and above that the little white tricorn sat as jauntily as you please.
 When she took off her coat, she had q lovely dress of black flat crepe and white. flat crepe. The lower portion of the frock was all of the black, with thd upper of the dead white, The upper, joined the lower portion in! a holero line and had drop, shoulders of the white, 10 which long sleeves of the frock were | posed.
 There was q most unusual neck | lace collar mode of bands of the l black and the. white flat crepe, join ed like striped ribbon. When she | took off her coat, the frock was | just as perfect with the jaunty lit l

PLAYS CHIC ROLE IN ....:
 DAY AND EVENING MODES

The smart things that are being done with plaids right now is just one of the seasons surprises. Plaid coats, plaid sports things, vivid plaid accessories for skating, skiing and other outdoor wear, and the dain-i- est of plaid chiffons for dinner and the evening give spice to the social scene right now.
 It is not only the theme Of the plaid that is intriguing. It is the way a single piece of plaid material is used on the bias. on the straight, on the cross-wise cut that stirs your imagination.
 If it is pajamas you arc Contcm- plating you really should look twice at some plaid velvet wonders, in gold, black and line of vivid green, with the blouse the softest of green satin and the coat rich gold.
 If it is frocks you are needing to wear under your fur coat, there are smart Scotch plaids with that gaiety that only reds, yeilows. blues and blacks have and browns and tans that are ravishing.
 One of the very smartCst is q broken line plaid coat for traVeling, sports, or to slip on for about-toWn wear, in stunning black and grege combination, in ombre effect
 Its cut is something to make you look twice and once you have 1t on you will notice others look twice, too. There is something about the shoulders that is vastly flattering and feminine. And beautiful col lar of natural lynx that is perfect with the belge-isf gray Of the coat. The lynx fashions top cuffs, above a shallow cuff Of the matefial And about the waistline, there is a belt of the material that fastens over the fitted form of the coat with a smart buckle.
 With plaids in the ascendancy and predicted as the coming rage of spring, this is a coat to give you d head start on fashion itself.
