Lady Duff Gordon at Palace
Modiste Enters Vaudeville for
French Relief

Ii one could have dreams such as
Fleurette had, one would not mind so
much being at Peronne. Lady Duff
Gordon said that Fleurette was Il real
person and that she really dreamed
that she had all Of the beautiful things
which were presented on the stage OF
the Palace Theatre yesterday, and Lady
Duf-Gordon should know, for she has
talked TO Fleurette, and she de-
signed the gowns from Fleurette's de-
scription. 1t does not seem that one
could have such beautiful dreams, how
ever, without artificial aid.
Fleurette went 20 sleep in cellar,
where she had sought refuge from the
German shellfre. and awoke in nifty
four-poster, with trim maid TO hand
her a blue satin bathrobe trimmed with
white fox, and then she had breakfast
in a French blue Miss Innocence and
entertained her friends at coffee.
Fleurette certainly had splendid
looking lot of friends. They were
named De Lys, Mauricette, Jean, Corr
sande, Sovia-Moria, Bonita. Dinogarde,
Hildred, Claire, Anangaraga, Iseult
and Majanah, and just as soon as they
had had breakfast they rushed away
TO dress for luncheon, and directly
after that they changed for tea and
then for dinner. SO they had a busy
day.
The performance is in aid OF "Se-
cours Frsneo-Americain pour la France

though il is only in its libretto that
it shows any lack OF form. The music

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your Liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous,
1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of danger
Gus calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
days work. Dodson's Liver Tone
Strengthens you right up and you
feel great. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
doesn't gripe.-Adv.
