THE HOME PATH.

The .dusk is falling.
The evening lamps of heaven burn.
Into the home-path then my foot
steps turn
Toward where the soft love-note is
calling.

The load is lighter.
As, lifted by an unseen arm
Supporting; yonder in the fire-glow
warm,
Thero burn tho love-lights clearer,
brighter.

Tho notes no other heart may hear
Save one, and words known only

Along the home-path joy Is ringing.

Wonderland at the Colonial on March

and co-ordination rather than by con
flict work with man; that the imag
inative quality of woman's brain was
as ,necessary as the more solid
ralts of man’s, though he remarked

FAT DEFEATING
EXTRAORDINARY
SLENDER Margaret Knolly, now,
if you pleaqe. The fascinating lead
ing lady of the Bijou, now more fas
cinating than ever, astonished all her
friends on Broadway the other day by
presenting to their admiring gaze a.
svelt and willowy, form in place of
the plump, not to say fat, outlines with
which she gaily sailed away to new-
trlumps and foreign shoes last Janu
ary. After a good deal of diplomatic
cross-examination from Interested fat
acquaintances the secret wag cau
tiously whispered to a few dear
friends, with the result that every
body knows It now. It was not exer
cise. nor fasting, nor sea air, nor wor
ry about her new venture that had
brought about this wonderful willowy
change in the charming Margaret; no.
none of these; nothing but a simple
mixture which all good druggists are-
familiar with and can supply at smalt
cost, to-wit: One-half ounce Marmo
ts, one-half ounce Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic, and three and one-half
ounces Peppermint Water. "Grown-
folk need a teaspoonful' after meats
and at bedtime,” explained the new
slender Margaret "It is simply won
derful. It takee off the fat quickly, as-
much as a pound a day, and keeps it.
off. You can eat what you llkt, too.
in that respect it is unlike anything
of the kind I ever heard of, and be
sides it has another splendid feature
—it Is entirely harmless, and will not-
cause wrinkles. I think it is-about as
essential a toilet article for the wom
an who is fat and wants to get thin
ner as face powder. In order to get
the best results, however, you should'
buy the Marmola In the original- pack
age and mix it with the other two in
gredients after you get iome.”
