Weather conditions consid- cred, it was a fairly well played game, but before the end game it was a con- ceded decided victory for Westerly. The winning of this gam6 gives West erly team four games played and with only one lost in the Interscholastic league. Bulkeley of New London has played three games without loss.

The latest thing in society is 10 nave
the crest or onogr embossed upon
the cigarette in heavy gold. TO sucn
an extent has this fashion grown that
we have thousands of orders weekly.
"As the smallest number of cigar
cites we supply with the customers

tobacco by women alone may easily pc
imagined. So far smoking among
women in England is confined almost
entirely 10 what. is known as tie

universal. We export half a million to
