Three Cigarette Faults
TO Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that
don't just suit your own taste.
Second, avoid those that
bother your throat or tongue.
Third, avoid those that
make you feel mean" after
smoking all you want.
If Fatinas, for instance,
seem to you to be guilty on
any one of those three counts,
we say, avoid Fafin1as.

and looked into the store windows for
a spell. Then she returned to the Of

door-stil locked.
Four times during the morning she
repeated the call. There was disap-
pointment each time. She went to
the house of the friend of her aunt
where she was stopping and recited
her experience.

Eloise went to the Office building
after dinner. Again she found the
door locked. She walked slowly past
adjoining offices. The door of one
was open. Had it not been so she
would have been able to see the same
names as were on the closed door
and the word in large letters: EN-

Seated at a desk in neatly fur
nished inner room, Eloise made out
a young man. At a glance his hand
some, open face attracted her. She
decided if he was lawyer and she

would choose.

break out into speech. Then he bit
his lips, looked startled, then serious,
and finally said:

state your case, Miss Thayer."
Eloise did so. She was too gentle
hearted to accuse Mr.. Rolfe of DELHI
