34 Pipe Smoker Finds Right Tobacco For “Breaking in’a Pipe There are many veteran pipe smokers who have never discovered Edgeworth. These hardy souls are prone to advise new smokers that a pipe must be old before it can be sweet. True, an old pipe is sweet. But how can a man break- ing in_a new pipe achieve this sweet- ness? Let Mr. Shera’s letter tell you: Columbus, Ohio March 10, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co, Richmond, Va. Gentlemen Two years ago my wife gave me an ex- pensive pipe. I smoked it a great deal for two or three weeks, put it aside, then be- gan smoking it again. This time it was very strong. Veterans told me that it had been smoked too hard for a new pipe and should be put away. ‘The pipe was laid away again. A short time ago I got it out and smoked one of the common brands of tobacco in it. The results were disappointing. I told the druggist of my experience with it. He asked if I had tried Edgeworth. I told him I never had. I followed his suggestion, and I am honest when I say that it has restored the sweetness to the pipe, and has made me wonder: Was it the pipe or the brand of tobacco that caused me to lay it away for the long period of time? As a novice, I prefer Edgeworth ; and I am going to stick to it, as I feel satisfied that there is none better on the market. Sincerely yours, Philip C. Shera Men just learning to smoke pipes are not the only ones to discover Edge- worth.

This day Barbara Russell of Boston did send me figures of Little Orphan Annie and her dog made out of some leathery substance, and I am as pleased with them as though I were still in the nursery, which, according to my husband, is where I belong. February Up betimes and ailing 8th slightly, I was enjoined + to take some bicarbo- nate of soda, which does seem to be the contemporary method of dismiss- ing all complaints of illness, and the injunction never fails to sound like scant sympathy to me. Merry dis- course with Sam, recalling how his Uncle Frank as a blade with an eye | for pretty girls walked off a ferry- boat before it quite met the dock, and how Uncle Harry tried to keep the vessel back with a bamboo cane, | Uncle Frank bitterly reproaching | the deckhand who was trying to save his life for thrusting a hook into his coat, whilst Sam's father tried his best to pretend that he knew neither of then To luncheon at Marge Boothby’s, where I found that she had touched up all her laurel with gilt paint, and to my astonishment it was not a bad esthetic idea, so perhaps we have been wrong all these years about the lily. Talking of a certain acquaintance who has botched a business which she begged to have left entirely to her, I was minded again of Harry Leon Wil- son’s “The Boss of Little Arcady’ and poor Westley Keats, for whom | diplomacy had been defined as a hand of iron in a velvet glove and whose comment on its failure, after his own blunt advice had not been followed, was, ‘A hand of mush in a glove of the same.” So to personali ties, the lowest and most interesting form of conversational life, and when I vouchsafed a slight consciousness of having developed spiritually throughout the past year, Marge did not hasten to agree with me, which it would have been politer as a hostess to do, even though she were obliged to prevaricate. This day our order of provisions failed of deliv- ery, and beside Katie’s goings-on the news that was taken from Ghent to Aix would have paled to a whis- per, but I advised her to pull her- self together and open up a tin of something, a happy, if conventional, solution, because it did eventuate as spaghetti and was most savory.
