34 LIFE Is there really a climate-proof smoking tobacco? Mr. W. L. Peers is an aviator who cer- | tainly has “flown wide,” to borrow an expression from his own pleasant, letter. He writes us that he has smoked Edgeworth under practically every | climatic condition in seventeen sections of the world, outside America. He says: Bolling Field, D. C. Messrs. Larus & Bros. Co, Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Having been a constant user of your ex- cellent’ Edgeworth for approximately twelve years, and having smoked it under practically every c¢! the following countri a! British West Africa, South Africa, Ger- man East Africa, Mesopo! Persia, Palestine, Egypt, India, Afghanistan, Beluchistan, Waziristan, Ceylon, Burmah, The Straits Settlements, and China, I feel it an honor to go on record as a supremely satisfied user of this tobacco. Of course it was not always possible to obtain the “Old Blue Can™ in all of these countries, but where this difficulty was encountered, my fondness for Edge- worth could not be satisfied by an in- ferior product. so I arranged with my people in Richmond, Virginia, to pur- chase a dozen or so cans at a time and forward it to me by parcel post. I was considerably gratified on my ar- rival at this field to find that the major- ity of the men here, both commissioned and enlisted, who smoke pipes, are veteran users of Edgeworth. I consider that this shows excellent taste on the part of the men at this station. May your organization and your Edge- worth always “Fly High, Wide and Pretty.” Yours for pipe satisfaction, . PEERS. Let us send you free samples of Edgeworth so that you may put it to the pipe test. If you like the samples, you'll like Edge- worth wherever and whenever you buy it, for it never changes in quality. Write your name aud ad- dress to Larus & Brother Company, 16F South 21st Street, Richmond, Va. Edgeworth is sold in various sizes to suit the needs and means of all purchasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Slice and Edge- worth Ready-Rubbed are packed in small, pocket-size packages, in hand- some humidors holding a pound, and also in several handy in-between sizes.

Mrs. Pep’s Diary (Continued from page 26) across the statement—and in the column of the same critic who belittled Michael Arlen’s ability to write, too— that Flaubert was not a great novelist. so did telephone my newsdealer to send me his particular journal no longer. Lord! Life is too short, and there are too many graphic papers in town, to risk having one’s temper upset so early in the day. Hilda Means to luncheon with me, and she did tell me how a Boston dowager, having asked her sister Emily where she came from and been told Texas and Missouri, had answered, Mercy! Must you mention both? May A large part of this morn- 30th «MS spent in my kitchen, talking with Katie of this and that, and we did agree that no ice box should ever be without a green pepper and a hard-boiled egg....To a great luncheon at Vieva Marshall's, where was a Southern woman who told how Edgar Lee Masters, during a visit to her home town, had interviewed an old Negress who had once been lave, ask- ing her all kinds of questions in order to get copy, and telling her at the finish that he was going to put her in a book. He say he’s gwine to put me in a book, Miss Lizzie, the old woman said after Mr. Masters’ departure, but Lawd Gawd! I'd ruther he gimme a quart of whiskey! am and I to the Bre- voort grille for dinner, where was an astonishing number of men in golf ap- parel. The time is coming, quoth Sam, when it will be no crime to shoot a man in knickers. Baird Leonard. Dear Old Alma Mater! I just love college. There is some- thing about a yellow slicker with a red collar that thrills me to the bone. I love to think of the line plunges that have been taken, the hundreds of yards that have been dashed, the home runs that have been knocked out, the one-act plays that have been written in honor of the dear old school. My heart leaps when I think of the thousands of keen-eyed young men ready to start out into the world this month. I hope there are enough chairs in bond houses for all of them. I like to think of the guitars strummed under the elms on moon-lit nights; of romance when the whole world was young; of the automobiles stolen; of the synthetic gin drunk. Whenever I sit on the fifty-yard line at the big game my heart swells with pride in my dear old alma mater. I just love college. T have never been there. McC. H, DEC.3*?
