TIME sort Of extravaganza that
consists OK spending an undue
proportion OF ones income on
4 dress Is comparatively rare.
The sort of dress extravaganza
that consists in buying carelesSly-mak-
ing a poor investment OF the money
spent-Is much more usual MY own
experience Conyinces me that the av-
erage American woman nowadays buys
foods and household supplies with
much greater forethought and discern
ment than she buys clothes for herself
and children.
Perhaps this is because she looks
upon food buying as a serious reSpon-
SjhIlity, while she still retains the sub
conscious impression that buying
clothes at all is an act of frivolity.
Certainly most American women are
far more likely to be influenced in their
emotions and prejudices when they set
out to buy q hat than when they buy
butter and eggs, soap and table linen.
"Carelessness in the selection OF
clothing writes S. Agnes Donham, lis
ineXcusable with any income and q
tragedy with q moderate income"
Among the factors that make for this
sort of tragedy Miss Donham includes
extreme fashions, unbecoming styles
and colors and materials unsuitable for
the purposes for which the garment is
to be used.
Miss Donham points cut that clothes
should not only be durable so far as
wearing quality goes, but that they
should be durable in satisfaction. And.
of course, nowadays far more dresses,
hats and wraps are discarded because
their satisfaction has worn out than
because they have actually become
threedbare or shabby.
=
IN applying this good advice to your
own dress problems don't make the
mistake of confusing extreme fashions
with new fashions in general. II you
want to make the best of your clothes
allowance 1t is absolutely essential to
keep abreast Of the new fashions.
Last Autumn and Winter we had ex-
celient proof of this fact. The ultra
conservative woman who prided herself
that she never ran ahead with the
newest fashions selected dresses that
still retained the lower waistline and
the shorter skirt Dressnakers had to
60 on producing dresses of this sort to
meet the demands of these die-hards
among their customers. The result has
been that the long-waiSted short
skirted dresses hang as white elephants
In the wardrobe, while dresses of the
newer silhouette, made and bought at
precisely the same time, are still use
full You may as well make up your
mind whenever a new fashion is intro
duced. and gets by the experimental

Keep Free
 from
 FAT in excess;it s easy now

IVtodern science has found that excess lat IS largely due to an under-active gland. Starve as you will, exercise as you will, you are bound to fail unless you correct the cause.
 That gland largely controls nutrition. When 1t IS weak, too much food goes to Tat, too little to fuel and energy. So mod crn physicians, in treating obesity supply the gland substance which IS scant.
 That IS the method employed in Mar mola prescription tablets, prepared by q famous medical laboratory. People have used them for P ycars-milIlons of boxes ot them. Anybody in any circle, can see what change has come. Excess fat is disappearing fast. New youth and beautv, new health and vitality, are conspicuous everywhere.
 If you are abnormal in vour welcnt, q certain gland IS abnormal. Try Marmola. Feed the factor lacking. Watch the pounds go, the new vitality return. You will be amazed and delighted. But the formula in each box of Marmola will tell you the reason. To people who know. there IS no excuse today for obesity. Start to remedy that i'll condition now.
