only regret Is that the audience will
not have an opportunity to see the ex-
quisite coloring of the gowns"

IF SKIN BREAKS
 OUT ANDITCHES APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men tho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of it's germ destroying pro- perties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the ecze- ma right up, leaving U clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness.
 You do not have to wait for inn provement It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho-Su1- phur at any drug store.-AdV.
