Seldom is any artist or organization accorded the reception given to the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York with Percy Grainger, the pia anist-com- poser as solotst at the Park theatre, last evening" Glancing over the au- dtence it looked as if Time had been setback about five years. It was representative of the best Bridgeport can offer and its keen appreciation showed clearly thai it was a gather ing of music lovers
 Josef Stransky has been at the hea d of the Ph11harm o1l1e for a number of years and is a conductor par excel -Qence- Under his direction his com pany of artists played nagnif1cently Huge volumes of warm, rich soun l blended colOrfu1ly into vivid tone pictures New to this city at least was the descriptive suite Can casian Sketches" by ppolitow-Ivanow- The music is vivid with wild barbaria flashes and the rhythm that is typ1c- ally of the East It had wierd touches and unexpected turns and twists in the melodies. Full of character 1t was splendidIy rendered
 A new composition by Rogers, ITO the Fal1en,7 dirge for the orchestra, was full of a. grave dignity and great depth of feeling It was intended as a tribute to the legion who quietly gave their all in the great war. SfmpIc- ity is its chief characteristic and it is tender and sweet It is likely that this composition will rank very high and will be heard often Beetho- ven's Eighth Symphony was given with a great deal of interpretat tive skill It is brilliant and sparkling, and at it's close Stransky was forced to bow his thanks repeatedly.
 Perhaps the chief interest of the evening centered about Grainger. Those who had heard him at a pr1- vate recital about two years ago were out in force last night to hear him again. His rendition of the solo part of Tchaikovsy's great Concerto in B flat minor, proved him to be a vir- tooso and thorough master of his in- strunent. This is not only a great composition but an extremely difficult one and makes great demands on the artist. His playing is extremely vir- Me and he obtains a lovely singing tone that is rich and full of color. The great chords crashed and resounded to be followed Immediately with soft warm melody that wove itself into an exquisite tone poem. His technic un- occasionally places him on the heights. At the conclusion of the Concerto he was recalled again and again until he very graciously assent ed to an encore. After playing such a tremendous composition the au- dience apprecfats ted greatly the grant ing of the encore.
 The concluding number for the or chestra was the overture, ''Tannhaus- CT" Wagner It's rendition was in keeping with that of the rest of the , program, The orchestration Is

The ''wee sma' hours will come all too soon for the youthful wearer of this charming frock- From the tiny rosebuds that cling to the shoul- der strap, all the way down to their kindred buds on the very edge of the skirt, this gown is the sure sign of a good time. And the reason is mos; evident.
 Made of coppery tinted taffeta. the bodice is perfectly plain, reaching over each shoulder in narrow straps. But the skirt carries us back to tho beues of other days. Two deep seal. loped fIounces of the taffeta topped off with an encircling ring of rose buds stimulates the "hoop'' in all it5 piquancy, but without its awkward. ness. The modern note is sounded again in the narrowing of the skire around the ankles, while a narrow, band of elastic cleverly shirred in al the edge of the hem provides the necessary amount of freedom for tho movements during the moments or the dance.

WOMEN AT WORK.

During the war, millions of women have been at work in vacations into which they have never before been called-in Munition Factories, Chem ica1 Works, Metal Works, Street Rail- ways, and as Ambulance Drivers. Barbers, and Elevator Girls. Un- doubtedly thousands of others have longed to serve in this way, but be- cause of female ailments, which had fastened upon them, were not able to do so. Women in this condition should give Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial and find health and strength, as thousands of others have so done.-Adv.

Night Sweats-In some sicIn the terrible night sweats will reduce the strength of the patient so rapidly that all efforts to build it up seems unayaIing. Under the Home Health Club method of treatment a cure can usually be secured in one or two nights. I will let one of the club members tell of her experience.
 My husband was taken violently i'll, and though we usually depend entirely upon the Home Health Club books for the treatment of every thing I was so alarmed that 1 sent for our old family physician, and when he said that the case was a doubtful one I was completely pros trated with grief. When the profuse night sweats began the doctor said he could do nothing to stop them more than he was doing. I asked him if I might try the Home Health Club treatment and he reluctantly con- scented, saying he was afraid a se- were cold might result. I prepared the solution according to the directions given in the Book of Lectures. and spOnged only a part of the body that night, and the sweating was greatly reduced, no cold. Next night spong- ed the entire body with it, and the night sweats were cured. My husband improved rapidly, and was soon at tending to his business. The doctor was so well pleased that he copied the formula from my book for flu ture use. The simple formula is as follows: Common vinegar, one pint; common salt, one teaspoonfuI; com mon red pepper, one teaspoonfuI Mix and set on the stove to slowly seep down to one-haIf, then sponge the body carefully and gently, under the bed covers. so as to prevent chilling. This should be applied on going to bed at night. I have never known it to fail"
