Don’t see Paris and go home this year ...see France! What would you know of America...if you'd only seen New York?.... By train... by auto- bus...this year, see France!...Take the route des Vosges, cool even in summer... forests, sky-high pastures, snowpeaks on the horizon «++-Or the route de Jura...gorges, cascades, tree-covered plateaus with vineyards smiling on the western slopes....Travel through Brit- tany... witness a pardon, understand the sea ooo ip down the Loire Valley and recreate the splendor of Old France from those mag- nificent chateaux.... Make the rounds of the smart “cures” in Auvergne know the secret of the chic Parisieane’s verve....Visit the Gorges du Tarn...grottoes and rivers un- derground, the thrilling passage on a rush- ing stream between colossal cannon walls... Cross the Alps, Napoleon-wise...passes, lost villages, stupendous glimpses valley-ward, lone churches, set so high their spires touch heaven....Take the Pyrenees in your stride «glaciers and peaks, aerial resorts of su; smartness all year ‘round....Skirt the Medi- terranean, flitting from one gay beach to the next along the Grande or the Petite Corniche «+.0r on to Corsica in the blue Mediterranean.

Extremely content, however, with the roses which she brought me, and also with the story of the man who sorrowfully announced that his pet bootlegger had been arrested to which his crony retorted, “What for?” Dis- coursed upon various matters, such as the ethical procedure in regard to two- cent stamps attached to reply envelopes from organized charities, the relative merits of silk and chiffon as linings to protect the skin from the irritation of woolen fabrics, and the signals of in- cipient inebriety in various tempera- ments. As for the last, I do know well that when Sam drops “Toujours la politesse!” into his conversation, however casually, he must be watched like a hawk for the remainder of the evening, albeit when he is but pleas- andy titivated, he will do nothing worse than write to Scotland for sam- ples of tweed. The rest of the day reading “The Patient in Room 18”, a thriller with almost as many persons at the scene of the crimes as were in De Russey’s lane on the night of the Hall- Mills murder, and so delinquent as to their solution that I began to feel as though I might have committed them “A fur coat on this lovely spring day?” “No—our airedale is shedding.” No doubt after six months in the Arctic, the Byrd Polar Expedition will be willing to call it a day. —Harvard Lampoon.

Fat Comes at Forty Fat Need Not Come Science has found the reason why people grow fat. That reason lies largely in a defective gland. To some that trouble comes in early years, but to most people after 40. A certain gland, which largely controls nutrition, becomes weak. Then food, which should go into fuel and energy, deposits itself in fat. No starvation, no over-work, can rectify that condition. Both are harmful. The right remedy is to activate an under-active gland. Physicians the world over now employ it. t is the method employed in Marmola prescription tablets.
