PENNSYLVANIA INAUGURATES The Seal Coat. Few people knew the real cause of the quarrel between the Tanton sisters, Jessie and Belle, but there had been considerable speculation. Some said perhaps it was their mother’s will; she had_probably left more to Belle thaa she had to Jessle, she being the young~ er, and with her music to keep up. and all. Others said it was on account of Will Morrow. Will was the only eligible in Allendale for women of the ‘Tanton sisters' age, and recently had been often seen with Belle, although for some time he had been considered as Jessie's “steady” friend. After Mrs. Tanton’s death the big house on Green avenue was closed. Belle went to the city and it was rumored that she had obtained a fine position teaching music in the schools. Jesste, the elder by five years, remained in Allendale, in a small apartment over Lathrop's store, and continued the even tenor of her life; her card club on Thursday; her literary club, composed of l:dlen of the church, and her church work. The quarrel had been on account of the mother's seal coat. Mrs. Tanton had inherited the coat from an elderly wealthy relative and for years it had been the family treasure. The girls had | run their hands lovingly over its luxuri- ways kept it carefully covered when it was not worn, and when it was it was only “for best.” In the Spring it was wrapped in layer after layer of news- papers; sometimes as many as 10 | editions of the Allendale Herald, each | layer tied with cord and then packed !into a sult box, rewrapped in news- dark, dry corner of the attic to await Mrs. Tanton always sald, oths will never come near printer’s ink.” For seven years now the coat had {in the attic. ~There had been no | stipulation in the will about it. The | house and all its contents had been | left jointly to the two sisters. Also | the bank stock and the few pieces of jewelry she had owned. When Jessie calmly announced her intention the next Fall of having the coat relined | and repaired Belle had announced the | same intention. For years each had | treasured the idea that some day the seal coat would be hers. Belle had said | Jessie's brown coat with the beaver collar was as good as new, and, besides, | Jessie did not have to go out every | day as she did. Jessie had remained | obdurate, and for seven years they had been 1iving sparate lives. Will Morrow had long since married Lucy White. As the years passed Allendale ceased to. wonder about the Tanton sisters. Belle's name was seldom mentioned and Jessie grew gray and stout, quietly living the life she had lived for years: administering to the wants of others; opening the big house on Green avenue once a year for a general airing and | cleaning helping at_church suppers, | working with the Ladies’ Aid, reading | book reviews and accumulating “500" | and “pedro” prizes at the club. | And then Allendale decided to have a hospital. A manufacturing plant and | its subsequent real estate activities in- | ereased the population considerably and | new houses were built. The nearest hospital was in Milltown, 16 miles | away. All the Allendale ladies entered into the project with enthusiasm and within a few months a way was seen by which the Allendale Hospital could become a reality. On a morning in Autumn Jessie was baking salt-rising bread, as she had | done every Saturday morning for years, as had her mother before her, and three | callers came to her door; Mr. Davis, | president of the Allendale Bank: the | Rev. Mr. Carson pof the Methodist Church, and Dr. Samuel Ames, the | town’s oldest and best known physician. They wanted the old Tanton home fore a hospital! | " “You don't need it.

And then, a week later, Belle hersell appeared in Allendale. She registered at the hotel and then went to her sister’s apartment. Jessie was round- eyed when she opened the door on her sister, looking younger and handsomer than when she had left seven years ago. “Thought I'd come up and help you get rid of the things.” the newcomer an- nounced briefly. 's no more than right that I should do my share. When | do we start?” ‘They started the next day. They com- promised on all the things that had been a part of their lives. Belle wanted the cherry drop-leaf table and the flag- bottomed ™ chairs, and if Jessle didn’l mind she would like to have & desk made out of the melodeon for her city apartment. Jessie didn't mind. She de- cided to keep the haircloth sofa and the marble-topped center table and the framed pictures of Grandpa and Grand- ma Smythe, and the silver service and the what-not. The rest of the furniture was to be sold and the money divided between them. At the end of the second day the first floor was bare, and they started in on the second floor. | They divided the household linens ! and the oval rag rugs. All of the bed-| room furniture was too heavy for smail | apartments, 80 it was to be sold. James, | the town handy man, made countless trips down the stairs with debris and small articles of furniture which each sister had decided to kesp. Few words were spoken as they worked busily, and the fourth day found them ready for the attic. ‘The sun was sinking at the end of that day, two long golden shafts stream- ing through the little dormer window and spreading across the dusty floor, when Jessie pulled a long newspaper- wrapped suit box from beneath the low s * she said abruptly. “Well!” said Belle, loking down at it. “Humph!” “Humph!” *'Spose we might as well undo it and put it out fn the sun for a spell.

She looked up at her sister, who stood beside her grimly watching the opera- tions. Jessie’s fingers shook a little as she tried to untie the cord that bound the last newspaper covering. “Why don’t you break t?" ‘The cord sinapped and Jessie pulled back the papers. A cloud of dust and fur rcse into the air. “Oh! The seal coat,” she gasped. ‘Then she sneezed. “Oh!” gasped Belle. “Moths!” Jessle reverently deposited the rem- nant of the family treasure on the top of the trunk and they stood looking down at it. There was nothing left but a dull, drab pelt covered with a fine covering of loose fur, almost dust. The paper was half filled with what had once been—the seal coat. “It's gone, Belle.” “Yes, Jessle, it's gone” and Belle turned to her sister. She whipped a handkerchief from her apron pocket and wiped the tears from Jessie's eyes. Then their arms were about each other and they started to laugh. (Copyright, 1920.)

We removed the prejudice against cigarettes when we removed harmful corrosive ACRIDS (pungent irri- tants) from the tobaccos. EARS ago, when cigarettes were made without the aid of modern science, there originated that ancient prejudice against all cigarettes. That criticism is nd longer justified. LUCKY STRIKE, the finest cigarette you ever smoked, made of the choicest tobacco, properly aged and skillfully blended—“It’s Toasted.” in cigarette manufacture, removes from LUCKY STRIKE harmful irritants which are present in cigarettes manufactured in the old-fashioned way. Everyone knows that heat purifies, and so “TOASTING”—LUCKY STRIKE'S extra secret process—removes harmful corrosive ACRIDS (pungent irritants) from LUCKIES which in the old-fashioned manufacture of cigarettes cause throat irrita= tion and coughing. Thus “TOASTING” has destroyed that ancient prejudice against cigarette smoking by men and by women. 7 “It's toasted” No Throat Irritation-No Cough.

The finest tobaccos—the Cream of the Crop—are scientifically subjected to penetrating heat at minimum, 260°—maximum, 300°, Fahrenheit. The exact, expert regulation of such high temperatures removes impurities. More than aslogan,“It’s Toasted”is recognized by millions as the most modern step in cigarette manufacture.
