I'm the middle of the night of March
Both I woke up with a burning itch in
my two hands and / felt as If / could
pull them apart. In sthe morning the
itching had gone to my chest and dur
ing that day it spread all over my
body. I was red and raw from the top
of my head to the soles of my feet and
l was in continual agony from the
itching. 1 could neither lie down nor
sit up. / happened to see about Cuti-
cura Remedies and I thought l would
give them a trial. l took a good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. / put it on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. l continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuitcura Ointment
and during that day the itching COM
pletely left me. Frank Gridley, 1875

SOCIAL LIFE IN RUSSIA

any hired room they must give 4S
hours notice to the police. stating the
purpose of their gathering, ever If 1t
is only a dance or a wedding feast.
st. Petersburg has an excess OF
male population. due to the greater
number of men from the provinces in
the junior branches of the imperial
administration. and to the aggrega-
ton of young army officers. More
youngsters lose great sums at cards
than in any other capital in Europe.
and the cheating is notorious. The
gambling clubs that get closed and
reappear in other premises are usual
ly marked down on the complaint of
a family whose son has gone bankrupt
at their tables. At nearly all Of them,
men and women play side by side and.
of course, take one another's money
with equal remorselessness. Period
ically there Is a crisis. Somebody
cuts the light of while his confeder-
ate scoops the stakes on the tables.
A few revolver shots follow, there is
a rush for the street and the police
are brought in.
The scamps In the gambling clubs
are SO numerous and know SO much
about each other that nothing can be
done to get up evidence for a prose-
cution. The police have no authority
to arrest officers Of the army and ma
Wy. If they are mixed up in a club
scandal the officer of the brigade on
guard duty must be sent for to dis
cipline them.
This absolute authority of the Sc
nior officer over all military and naval
men at all times overrides club COM
mittees or any other social authority,
and 1t is exercised without compunc-
ton.
In the main saloon of a leading res
taurant here some years ago. the late
Grand Duke Vladimir after copious re-
freshment left his table. went toward
the wife Of a civilian. patted her on
the shoulder and told her she was
beautiful. The husband sprang up
and pushed him sharply back some
yards. Diners and the waters looked
for a scene. but . very old man In

The oldest club in st. Petersburg,
the Angliskie, or English club, was
founded in 1859. 1t does not now num-
Der an Englishman, or any other for.

it was started by Francis Gardner.

owner, a partner in the old Muscovy
company, whose first charter was
granted by Queen Elizabeth Of Eng
land and Car Ivan the Terrible.
Throughout the ferment of a few
years ago st. Petersburg was never

which sprang up in a night and
changed their names and the names
of the games they played yer other

failed to reach a working agreement
with the local chief of police. The
old Angliskie klub has watched them
come and go with indifference.
Its membership has contributed to
the annals of universal clubland.

rotary of state, who directed Russia's
diplomacy In the days of Napoleon l.,
and signed the treaty of Vienna after
the Corsican's downfall. Pushkin,
poet and officer of the imperial guard,
"Russia's Byron" was a member, as
was Bismarck's diplomatic rival,
Prince Gortschakoff.
The membership today is drawn
largely from the senior officers Of the
army and the nominated members Of
the council of empire. The absence
of grand dukes Is ascribed to a scene
in the club card room long ago when
one of them after a run of bad luck
threw his hand angrily on the floor.
AS he refused to apologize to the 9TH
er players the committee asked him
to resign.
The grand dukes thereafter trans
ferred their club attendance to the
Yacht club on the Bolstova Morskaia,
an institution which has no more rela-
ton to yachting than the Angliskie
Klub has to do with England. The
social customs of the two are alike
dining, cards and plenty to drink. but
no politics, although, of course, there
must be no speck Of doubt about the
loyalty to the car of any member.

There is the German Merchants

The problem that the ~gregarious In

evenings has set before the governor
of the city springs mostly from the
smaller clubs. In a tentative way the
chiefs of the government are trying to
steer them into what are officially
looked on as safe and wholesome
