And now, herself almost abreast of the Morgan doorway and the lighted store window across the way, she saw him dart into the store, and an instant later, through the window, she saw him at a telephone. The blood began to pound through her veins in ugly thumps. He was elephoning for assistance, of course. There was not a moment to lose.

Don’t let over-indulgence deprive you of the tantalizing con- tour of the modern figure. Be moderate—be moderate in all things, even in smoking. Eat healthfully but not immoderately —when your eyes are bigger than your stomach, reach for a Lucky instead. Coming events cast their shadows before. Avoid that future shadow by avoiding over-indul- gence, if you would maintain the graceful, modern figure with its captivating curves. Lucky Strike, the finest Cigarette you ever smoked, made of the finest tobacco—The Cream of the Crop—“IT’S TOASTED.” Every- one knows that heat purifies and so “TOASTING’ not only re- moves impurities but adds to the flavor and improves the taste. “It’s toasted” “Coming events cast their shadow? before” #Be Moderate! . . . Don’t jeopardize the modern form by drastic diets, harmful reducing girdles, fake reducing tab- lets or other quack “anti-fat” remedies condemned by the Medical profession! Millions of dollars each year are wasted on these ridiculous and dangerous nostrums. Be Sensible! Be Moderate! We do not represent that smok- ing Lucky Strike Cigarettes will bring modern figures or cause the reduction of flesh. We do declare that when tempted to do yourself too well, if you will “Reach for a Lucky” instead, you will thus avoid over-indulgence in things that cause excess weight and, by avoidin;; over-indulgence, maintain a modern, graceful form. e TUNE IN—The Lucky Strike Daace Orchestra, every Sz:arday night, over a coast-to-coast network of the N.
