just as valuable as in Florida. a moth
er in Georgia thinks just as much of
her child as the mother in South Car
DINA, and it costs just as much for
the cities and counties in Georgia to
care for the widows and orphans as it
does in North Carolina or Alabama.
Pride in ones state is the basis of
patriotism, patriotism is essential to
craftsmanship, and the citizen who
does not believe any of the above
statements must feel some embarrass-
ment when he realizes that statesmen
who have had control in the past
permitted Georgia to lag behind its
neighbors in placing money value on
the lives of its people
Georgia is the largest state east of
the Mississippi. 1t covers an area Of
59,4-i square miles, about twice the
size of South Carolina with SO,495

HOW Can YOU TELL your
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious OF all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco. -
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

velope pleading-and quickly she
slipped 1t into the corsage of her dress
and hurried downstairs.
At the bottom of the steps she stopped
breathless and warm, for through

Rodney-for that is what it amounts
to, these everlasting triangle outings !
I'm tired Of hearing Rodney tell Pen
elOpe how pretty she looks tonight and
Of her telling him how well he drives
and what not ~
Oh, 1t had been a queer affair from
the beginning-Rodney Wells coming
to see them and nobody quite sure if
he meant Avis or Penelope. And
Avis, before she was positive that
Penelope was the lucky one, had fall
en- desperately in love with this fasci-
mating young man. AT first she real
ly took 1t for granted that he was
attracted to her. For Avis mirror
told her that her dark beauty was
more alluring than that of her little
blond sister, but after bit his at
tentions seemed equally divided and
since a few weeks Avis felt that she
was becoming the loser in the race.
With toss Of her head and deep
ugly hurt in her heart she marched
down the hall to Penelopes room,
and as she was about to enter the
girl herself stepped out. Penelope with
her blond hair uncurled, unbrushed
wore a serge dress, all rumpled, and
a very pale face.
"Oh, Avis, 1 was just coming to ask

Rodney's hand lay dangerously near
her own and once he made a move

little willing fingers In his own but
the taxi driver taking a corner on two
wheels, spilled Avis away into the
corner and Rodney did not renew the
| attempt.
Avis felt her spirits tagging, and try
| as she would she could not whip up
| any vivaciousness. A gloom seemed to
have, settled down on her that could
not be shaken off. At the party she
danced the first dance with Rodney
and she felt that her feet were heavy,
and twice she got out of step.
"Oh, that letter, it's spelling my
EVENING"" she caught herself thinking
a hundred times.
Rodney was entertaining, even jolly,
but Avis repartee was lame, and
realizing ii she became quiet, almost
sullenly taciturn. She did not catch
the surprised glance that fitted over
the young mans face now and then.
Finally she slipped out in the hall and
had little battle with herself. Would
she give him the letter after all? No,
1t was too late now. And gather
ing all her courage she shook off all
conscience pricks and determined to
be the gay, laughing companion she
knew Rodney admired, but the young
man was nowhere to be seen. After
a bit she caught sight of him towering
above bevy of pretty girls, and that
was as near as Avis got 10 him the
rest of the evening.
1t was noon the next day when Avis
opened the front door of her home.
In the living room her mother smiled a
welcome.
Late hours do not agree with you,
DEAR" warned the mother, You're
quite pale"
where's Penelope?" demanded Avis,
hurriedly.
"Out," smiled her mother comforta-
bly,. Rodney called for her nearly an
hour ago. They spoke quite eXcitedly
in the living room and Penelope came
in TO me with his violets pinned on her
dress and she sent q message to you,

were the dearest thing and to thank
you hundred times. She said yon

were and had used your Judgment

Up in her room Avis, baffled, took
out the rumpled envelope and throwing
everything to the winds tore open the
letter and read it
Dear Rodney the letter ran, "if
have ever appeared to give you any
please forget it and
feel yourself quite free. l have told
my sister that l am too Ill to go to
the party tonight, but the truth is that
I am tired of playing gooseberry for
you and Avis. Penelope"
Avis sat down Oh the bed and stared.
