Peruna has always been a great ~favorite
with the military men, both in the army
and navy,
The strongest kind of testimonials are
received from officers of high rank con-
corning the virtues of Peruna for all ca

Itching and Painful Sores Covered Head
and Body-Cured in Week by Cuticura.
For fifteen years my scalp and fore.
head was one mass of scabs, and my body
was covered with sores. Words cannot ex.
press how I suffered from the itching and
pain. I had given up hope when a friend
told me to get Cuticura. After bathing
with Cuticura Soap and applying Cuticura
Ointment for three days, my head was as
clear as ever, and to my surprise and JOY,
one cake Of soap and one box Of ointment
made a complete cure in one week.

ARTS, May 13.-The long prom
ised production of "Armide,"
Gluck's masterpiece, has at

Gluck's masterpiece, has at
II last been made at the Grand
Opera House here. Although so much
had been anticipated for this new work,
the actual performance came as rev.
elation, with its melodies, its breadth,
its simplicity and, above all, its Won
derful logic. One does not, as a rule,
apply the word logic to an opera score,
but the exquisite music Of "Armide" is
full of charming logic.
An old and enthusiastic musician,
carried away with the beauty of the
composition, turned to a young virtu-
oso sitting next him and earnestly re-
marked, Young composers ought to
look to Gluck for the way in which he
expresses his thoughts-always clear,
always flowing, with no striving after
effect, showing a thorough knowledge
of the singers capacity" The famous
NJ. Gaillard mounted the opera in a
beautiful and effective manner.
The house was full of elegantly dress
ed women. The prettiest gowns were
of white lace, white muslin, white lib
erty satin and white crepe de chine
with just a touch of color added by
way Of a pink rose fastened beneath
the drapery at the bust line OF a little
gold galloon introduced as shoulder
. straps, this trimming continuing
around the decolletage.
Somebody the other day described
the Partisan of the hour as arrayed
in creamy foaminess. This chronicler
must have been man with little tech
meal knowledge of his subject, for the
sole aim in MODESTO Paris is to create
garments that cling and swirl about
the figure. Reutlinger. the great pho
tographer here. who may without pref
udice be called the greatest artist of
his day and practically the only one
who can portray fashionable clothing
as It IS 6ashionably worn, reveals clear
ly this trend. Indeed, I have heard
from sitters who have visited him re-
Gently that he frankly asks his posers
to ramove their petticoats, after which
his inspired drapery Of the gown is the
matter of a moment. As e victim aptly
described the process, He takes his
subject running either away from him
or to him." which at once accounts for
the life expressed in his studies.
How to pose for picture is, I know,
an interesting subject of discourse to
the feminine world, but am quite sure
it will be even more interested in the
smart new suspender gowns Parisians
are wearing. Several of these gowns
made their appearance last summer,
but were not received with acclaim on
account OF their undisguisedly mannish
style. In the new suspender frock the
men will not recognize their 'galluses, -
and women who would not have ac-
cepted this mode last year are giving
it their heartiest approval this summer.
The great advantage of the suspender
frock is that even when made of the
darkest shade OF silk It Is light and
cool in appearance. Besides, with a
goodIy supply of dainty lingerie shirt
waists the freshness of the costume is
assured. So attractive have these strap
dresses become that they are now imi-
tated in the smartest afternoon and
high evening gowns. These frocks are
made up in all the new silks. including

lawn or organdie skirt are extremely
effective edged with tiny ruffies of lace
top and bottom and introduced on the
waist in like manner.
Flowered organizes and mousselines
are most alluring at this time of the
year, but one has to have more gowns
of this sort than when white alone Is
worn. A stunning organdie with pale

A yoke OF val insertion and strips OF

green silk. toning in tremendously

gives the CONNECTION luscious glow.
This mingling of colors in the girdle
is a fad of the summer. Delicious pas
tel shadings, American Beauty red, dull
pinks and banana yellows are chosen
most frequently for the purposes, and
it is smart to have the hat carry out IN
some way this touch of gown coloring.
There is a stage whisper in the mo-
distic play of the summer that the
bellies of the season are to wear hall

and bodice. A turnover collar of
hardinger embroidery and belt of
white kid complete the smart little
costume.
From an economical as well as ar
tistic standpoint white is the best in
yestment for summer, no matter what
the material or for what style of gown.
White always looks cool and comfort
able. and added to this is the fact that
it will withstand the toughest treat
ment bestowed by the angel who pre-
sides over the washtubs. The white
frock may be worn any number of
times with a change of girdle and little
touches of color without the inquisi-
tive world remembering the fact of its
persistent temperance. But whatever
the white dress may be, never allow it
to walk abroad in the trappings of
coarse lace or embroidery If good i'm
itation laces and fine embroideries are
beyond the dress allowance content
yourself with hand run tucks, which
are chic and truly beloved of the fas-
tidious Partisan. Should the tucks be
hemstitched by hand the acme of eIe-
gance is reached.
Another exclusive trimming is hand
worked scalloping applied to ruf11es and
to the fronts of supplied waists.
Should hand work on the entire frock
be considered too laborious elaborate
