 In Lonely Wives" the four lead ing roles are filled with favorites who made no changes in their original nomenclature.
 Indeed, two leading members of the cast, Edward Everett Horton and Patsy Ruth Miller, follow the rare practice of using both first and middle names given them by their respective parents. Laura La Plante and Esther Ralston content themselves with one Christian name and the paternal cognomen.

 Then again. you want cigarette that's just fresh as swhen 1t was made. a
 Now if you apply to cigarettes all the that you apply in buying shoes and fruit and candy you will puchase CHESTERFIELD like millions of other smokers.
 First because tobacco men will tell you that in Tur- key Kentucky, Georgia, the Carolnas, Virginia, and Maryland, only the midest, ripest tobacco is bought for CHEsTERFIELD-toba cured by the suns pure rays by the farmers slow-burning ovens, and finally by great high-pressure steam drying ma- chimes. In the tobacco regions where they grow to- bacco and know tobacco, CHESTERFIELD is usually the leading seller. .n av esea.s Second because the carefully selected CHESTERFIELD tobacco leaves are blended and crossblended. This exclusive CHESTERFIELD blending method IS not just mixing together different tobaccos-it is mixing them in such way as to bring out the finer qualities of each. It's like producing nea0 and better type of tobacco-tobacco with greater mildness, more smoothness much better taste.
 Third, because the cigarette paper is selected with the same CHESTERFIELD paper IS the purest, the best that money can buy. Then the cigarettes are made and packed by machinery in clean, sanitary factories And the moistureproof attractive package free from heavy inks or nky odor-comes to you just as if you passed the factory in the morning and took your CHESTERFIELDS from the machine. Good they've got to be good.
