What Makes a Cigarette a Good Smoke? Ts smoke that you actually get de- nds upon two things—the cigarette and the package that holds it. Given a likable blend of good tobaccos, and a well-made cigarette generally, the smoker can still lose a lot of the original smoking qualities of the cigarette if it is ex- posed to the air, mashed, bent, or broken. So the Reedsdale Cigarette has been brought out with almost as much attention given to perfecting the container as to de- veloping the contents. The last like the first If you find you like your first Reedsdale Cigarette you can be sure of the same fresh- ness, the same aroma,the same perfect form in every other cigarette in the package. We cannot promise every reader of ibis magazine that he will like the Cigarette better than any other that he has smoked. Difference of taste keeps several large cigarette factories going—just as dif- ference of opinion, according to Mark Twain, promotes horse racing. Rut we do know that the Reedsdale Cig- arette is composed of unusually fine to- baccos, and that the Reedsdale blend was preferred to all others by a good-sized jury of cigarette smokers, before it was finally adopted. Also that the Reedsdale can be depended upon for day-in, day-out uni- formity of blend and of quality, Popularly priced Reedsdale Cigarettes are 20c. for a package of twenty. Thcy are now sold by many tobacco dealers and their distribu- tion is being rapidly extended.

Their’ two children, aged nine and eleven, wanted to meet them, but received very definite instructions not to do so. When the parents arrived at 11:30, their train being an hour and a half late, they were surprised to see Ernest and Alice waiting for them on the platform. The mother hurried forward to ex- postulate, but was cut off by the shrill voice of Alice crying, “Hurry up, Mother! Don't stop to talk. The taxi's up to $7.60 already.” —Boston Transcript.
