Life Pipe smoker’s mother happy at son’s tobacco choice There is plenty of evidence to prove that the ladies are not averse to pipe smokers. Provided, of course, that the man in the case chooses the right tobacco, The following letter from Mrs. Hig- gins of St. Louis reflects the pride and satisfaction of a mother who feels that her son has made a wise decision. Read her letter—then show it to your wife: Larus & Bro. Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Can a mere woman praise Edgeworth? When my sixteen-year-old son started to smoke, it was a pipe. I guess he tried all the brands of tobacco on the market, trying to find a mild, cool smoke. He gave up smoking in disgust, saying he guessed he never would be a man if it depended on smoking a pipe. At last an old timer told him to try a pipeful of his Edgeworth. Now my son is never in too big a hurry to walk several blocks out of his way to get it. I sometimes wish every day was Sun- day so he could be home smoking, aroma of Edgeworth is delicious. Yours very truly, Mrs. A. Higgins. To those who have never tried Edge- worth, we make this offer: Let us send you free samples of Edgeworth so that you may put it to the pipe test. If you like the samples, ou’ll Vike dgeworth wherever and whenever you buy it, for it never changes in quality. Write your name and address Larus Com- pany, 16-T S. 21st Street, Richmond, Va.

Mrs. Pep’s Diary (Continued from page 12) drive me well nigh to distraction with the weariness and monotony of her discourse, the underlying theme of it this time being the contempla- tion of suicide, which she did threaten so frequently én what she deemed a subtle manner that I was finally moved to enjoin her, assum- ing that her intentions were scrious, to be about the business straightway and spare herself the tedium of liv- ing through the redecoration of her apartment in the autumn. Lord! the trouble with individuals who are always promising to make away with themselves is that they never keep their word. July Awake betimes, go ing through the magazines 15th which, in spite of my good resolutions, I have been allowing to accumulate, and moved by them to the reflection that illustrations of the modern school look as if they had been done by small children turned loose with a set of penci Nor is the text none too sensible in many instances, some of the Paris letters in the fashion magazin being transparent almost to the point of hysterical amusement, for if the table conversation at smart lunch- cons which they seek to describe is quoted verbatim, the guests must be entirely recruited from the manne- quins of the leading couturiers.
