Clementina. Sobieski, grand daugh- ter of John Sobieski, King of Poland, was ambitious. From the moment she was princess she determined to become queen.
 When she reached a marriage age, the only eligible royal prince was the son of James H., King of England, living in exile on the continent. He George, and is called by historians, the "Old Pretender."
 The Polish princess was exception ally clever. rich and good looking. Hearing of her charms, the Chevalier St. George offered her his heart and hand, which Clementina gladly ac- cepted in the hope of some day be- coming the Queen of England, and immediately began preparations for her wedding. It was decided that she should leave her home and meet her bridegroom in Bologna, Italy.
 But George l., among other royal ties, was unwilling to see the preten- der marry. The King of England brought pressure upon the Emperor of Austria to forbid the princess to leave that country. Clementina, how ever, was determined to wed the prince, and with her mother, started for Bologna. But they were arrest ed by royal command before they could reach the border.
 The princess was taken to Inns bruck in Tyro1 and remained practi- cally prisoner for months.
 Here the princes friend-an Irish officer named Wogan-visited her in disguise and won her consent to an elopment.
 Soon everything was in readiness, and Clementina, attended by a page, waded through the snow to Jo;n Wo- gan, who was waiting with a carriage drawn by six horses. She was scarce ly within the carriage when she dis covered that she had left her jewels behind. One of the officers had to be sent back for them - but even with this delay the runaways reached an inn on the Brenenan Pass by sunrise
 Here they learned, much to their dismay, that in front of them travelled the Princess of Baden, who, taking up all the post horses, left none for the eloping party.
 But Wogan was determined to get the princess over the frontier in safety. At one point he was forced to take the horses from a blow.
 But this great demand for horses proved a blessing in the end. It pre- vented courier from Innsbruck, bearing orders to stop them, from ac- complaining his mission.

and was glad when. at the end of three days, they crossed the Austrian frontier into Italy.
 The party hastened on to Verona, where Clementina donned clothing suitable for a princess. She was dis appointed to learn that her bride groom was in Spain, but had sent one of his gentlemen to Bologna to go through the betrothal ceremony by Proxy.
 Some months later the Chevalier St. George returned to Italy to claim the bride who had dared so much for his sake. --s
 Unfortunately this marriage made with such willingness on both sides, proved to be an unhappy one. After a few years of married life, during which her son, Prince Charles Ed ward, lovingly called "Bonny Prince Charlie" was born, Clementina retir- ed to a convent, and died soon after.

Girls! Use Lemons! Make a Bleaching,
 Beautifying Cream
a~M@w@w@@@@e%@~~~@~~~@~

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re- markable lemon skin beautif1er at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, freshen, bleach and bring oVt the roses and beauty of any skin. It is simply marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.-Adv.

Amelita Galli-Curci, assisted by Rudolph Gaus, the celebrated Swiss pianist; Homer Samuelsy accompanist, and Manuel Berenguer, f1utist, will be heard at the State Street Casino Thursday evening of next week. She is what is known and understood in musical circles as a "Coloratura'' singer; that is a voice that is lyrical, of extended range, even throughout all the registers, of great purity and warmth, exceptional f1exibility, and a tone that must at all times be kept within bounds and never allowed to transcend the beautiful in striving for dramatic effects.
 "Coloratura" is a tradition coming down to us from generations of Ital- ians. Some 30 years ago leading vocal instructors of the country were all torn up on the question of methods" We had with us the Italian method," the German method" and the French method g some advocating one and some another
 Patti, Gerter, Sembrich and Melba have been the true and leading ex- ponents of the Italian method in this country. What the Italians call ''bel canto" (meaning beautiful singing). The greatest regulations in the sing ing world have always been made by opponents of this method.
 No singer since the days of Pattt has created such a furore Of demon strative approval, and it is predicted Bridgeport will be forced to accord Galli-Curci the same consideration that New York, Chicago and Bestor have, where thousands have beer turned away nightly. Her appear ance at Woolsey hall, Yale university next week is already "sold out" Seat. now at Steiuerts, 915 Main street.

that the initial absence Of any extra

Authorities Say Don't Use
Liniments. Treat 1t Through
the Blood. You Can't
Ruh II Outl

Whether your trouble is Sciatica,
Lumbago or the dreaded Articular
rheumatism, the answer is the same.
You must treat it through the blood.
That is the only way to rid the sys-
tenn of uric acid, purify the blood
and revitalize the nerves. If the
blood is freed from impurities, Rheu-
matism must go. This in short is
the exact knowledge gained by the
research laboratories of the S. S. S.
Co., in Atlanta. There tests have
been made for fifty years. They
know what Rheumatism is. They
