Women are naturally more suscept-
ible to inclemencies of the weather
than men. With them a cold is often
the starting point of some severe
pelvic arrangement, causing much
pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upon

fortified against the trying weather of
winter and early spring. If PeTuna is
taken at the first symptom of cold it
will cure it before it develops into
someannOyingc catarrhal arrangement.

Returning to Paris, she at last
closed an engagement with the
Comique. She was to sing "pravista,"
but after she had prepared for her
debut She was told that she could not
be allowed to make her first appear
ance in such an important role. Then
she studied Bizet's "Les Pecheurs
Des Perles." But she was told: 1--WE
cannot trust this in the hands Of q
debutante." She was at sea until she
learned that a French composer was
using his influence with the directors
to prevent her debut and in favor
Of another singer.
In the midst Of this distressing sit
uation she received an offer from the
Opera. What should she do? Here
was an offer that would at one start
her on her career. Yet she was bound
by a contract to Parayey of the
Comique. She asked him for a re-
lease, but the singer for whom in
trigue had secured a debut had utter
ly failed and the young American was
told that now she was to have her
chance, The opening Of the EXPOSE
-
ton was approaching, and the man
ager thought that by having the only
American singer would be a feather
in his cap. She insisted that she
wished to be released. He was obdu-
rate. Finally, at a meeting Of the
directors, she walkedinto the cabinet
and said: "Now ! want to know if
you will let me off,
