CASANOVA CLUB PARIS' NEWEST IN NIGHTLIFE Only the Smartest Know Os New Cabaret For Society Leaders By Princess Alt Fatsel (Unit -d Press Staff Correspondent) Paris. Dec. 14 (UP) —Casmova tiie greatest lover in history, lias given Ills name to the cabaret now most popular with smartest Parisian society. Every season there is a change in nocturnal life of Paris. The change Is only evident to those w ho know Paris and for the masses everything goes on the same way. The narrow streets of Montmartre have their llgh's gilt erlng, girls are everywhere and lasts plays nightlong But artists and smart society folk and Parisian habitues desert their favorite haunts as soon a.-- the tout'll s trample on their heels. The Casanova Club is a place which avoids publicity, knowing that crowds would lie a deadly blow to its success. The only way to hear of its existence is through some of the elect who know where smart Paris moves. It Is si tiated very near the bridge of Caulaincourt, not far from Montmartre cemetery. There Is no light at Hie door, nor the slightest sign tr> indicate the place. A wooden door with a slated opening shows a cool Inspection of the visitors who tap at the door. Then the door opens and you enter an oblong room, the walls and floor all fitted with carpets. The space is crowded with tables. Silver plates and cups are piled under silver candlesticks. No stvh predominates; it could be Byzintine church or a cavern of some tale of Scheherezade’s thousand and one nights. Charm of Atmosphere Whatevei it is, the ('a a nova has an atmosphere which charms. Music is not the noisy sort of Jazz going on everywhere and dancing is no. the wild contortions that you see in all the dancing places. There is harmony between the dim lights, the songs and the people. It is a trange land where women are pret'y and pleasures come high Other Russian places in Montmartre like the Troika, Kasbali, Bounak are very popular, hut more

During the day I felt weak, pepleas and all tired out. I tried a great number of remedies, but aone brought real relief, i “But Viuna was different and seemed to help me almost at once. Now I feel like a new person. 1 ran go to bed and sleep right through the night; in fact 1 have done this ever since the third day 1 took Viuna. My nerves are stronger, too, and I feel better all over. I have lots of pep and the pains in my back are all gone. I have been telling my friends about Viuna, and am very glad to recommend a medicine that works wonders for sick people; like Viuna did for me.
