Life No. 1728 No. 1439 Here are good pipes. So sweet, so mellow, so mild is Milano that every tobacco seems finer when the smoke rolls out of Milano's stem. For Milano is made of century- old Italian briar — hand-fashioned into a bowl of supreme beauty. Scores of shapes. Smooth finish, $3.50 up—rustic finish, $4.00 up. “INSURED” Each Milano is “insured” for your pro- tection by a special “policy”. Aad the policy is “underwritten” by the litte White Triangle on the stem. WM. DEMUTH & CO. 230 Fifth Ave., N. Y. World's Largest Makers of Fine Pipes Juawae’ Mrs. Pep’s Diary (Continued from page 1+) “That is a gin daisy, madam,” so Marge ordered one, and it tasted so pleasant and innocuous that she or- dered another, and when she de- parted, she did leave in her chair thirty n yards of unmatchable curtain fringe which she never re- covered and did try to walk through a large mirror into the Hawaiian Room. Home betimes, finding there “The Foolish Question Book,” by H. I. Phillips, highly comickal, and the best burlesque I have yet seen of the current craze for interroga- tion, and I “did like in especial: “Q,—What did Lord X say to the clubman who remarked, ‘Who was that gentleman I saw you going down street with last night?’ 4A.— ‘That was no gentleman; that was my daughter,’ and “Q.—When the Duke of Argyll, returning to the drug store for a second order of five pounds of moth balls in twenty-four hours, was asked why the first order hadn't been enough to exterr the moths in his dress suit, what was his explanation? 4.—'It’s awfully hard to hit a moth with every ball you throw.’ May Awake betimes, full of I discouragement at the 12th umber of devilish small tasks to be done, like writing to the Remington Co. protesting that I do not owe the fifty cents for which I am being dunned, sending Aunt Caroline the receipt for wilted let- tuce, and having the wave in my hair set again, and whilst I was con- templating lying down under the load and doing naught, Lydia Loomis to see me, full of excitement over a big fire which occurred last night in the neighborhood of her grandfather's house in the Sixties, and Lyd said that if she could have got the servants all out and a few pieces of furniture which she cher- ishes, she would have bribed the firemen on the roof not to extinguish the blazing embers which were fall- ing thereon. All the day gone in cast- ing up accounts and writing cheques so dreary a business that I do believe I should have walked down the street and cast myself into the river had not Sam arrived at tea time with Fred Latimer and put it out of my head. So a cheerful dinner, and afterwards to the playhouse to see “The Spider,” and it was amusing to note how the members of the au- dience regarded one another with suspicion that they might be con- cerned later in the action, and I do thank God that none of my neighbors called out or flashed weapons.
