He wore them anyway.
nj APOLEON was giving one of his
famous May tea parties on the
lawn of the royal palace
Standing under an absinthe tree, with
hls arms crossed in his favorite medita-
tive attitude, he moodilv SURVEYED the
bright picture of gaity before him.
The flower of the French nobility in
knickerbOckers and lace ruffles, were
dancing on the green. with perfect bear
cats of DANES from the finest French
families One and all, excepting only
Napoleon himself, were treading the
mazes of the Seine Snuggle. (See Ignace

Time"
As our second chapter opens, a bevy
OF beautiful women rushed over to the
absinthe tree and surrounded the small
but immortal warrior.

The great man kissed her then and
there, once on each place where an eve

FOR THAT MANS" XMAS.
Here's the Answer to a Very Pulling
Question.

Just before the Christmas holidays
when the stores are thronged by the
"last minute rush." when you've often
rackcd your brains for an idea that will
solve the question of what to give hus-
band father, Brother Tom or Jack I;
when you've looked back ON former
trials, due to your having picked the
wrong tic or a misfit shirt or socks that
were too small-did it ever occur TO you
that YOU might settle the matter quick
ly and satisfactorily without losing any
beauty sleep by giving him a glass hui
midor of Prince Albert, the national JOY
smoke?
It's a neat looking crystal glass recep-
tacle, holding pound OF the best-hked
tobacco made. Whenever the supply is
exhausted it may readily be replenished
and the humidor keeps the tobacco
moist fresh and fragrant all the time.
You viii find it in all stores where to-
bacco is sold and you needn't hesitate
TO walk right in and ask for il. The
clerk won't bite and the tobacco can't,
either. The bite has been taken out OF
p A. by wonderful patented process.
Think Of the pleasure it will give "him'
and the possible annoyance it will save
you. It's a gift that win not be slipped
to the ianitor or the office boy, like a
tie that doesn't strike "his" fancy.
And Furthermore, when "hc' is think,
ing Of a gift for a business associate or
acquaintance or male relative, help
him out of the difficulty by suggesting
a crystal glass hImidor of Prince Albert.
As mans gift it cannot be duplicated
in acceptability by anything else at so
nominal cost. It's found at the near
est shop that sells tobacco.
