"THE CONVERT"

A. story written by Bruce Jones, Musselburgh, Dunedin, about one of the series of advertisements of ‘'Three Castles Cigarettes,"’ There was once a lady who wore an old fashioned dress-a crinoline. She was shocked and very indignant abort the present habits and fashions, especjaliv. the short dresses and cigarette smoking by the young ladies of the present day. There was a vast difference between the crinoline and the present day dress, as anyone will see if they study the old photographs. This old tady, who, by the way, was called Fannv, was offered a cigarette by one of the young ladies. She felt s? hurt by this insult that she cracked her on the head with her parasol, The cigarette was knocked ont of the young girl’s mouth, then she ran away. The old lady picked up the cigarette, and. for curiosity, had a puff. She found the smoke very nice, and continued to smoke the cigarette. She was so pleased with it, that she noted the name-Three Castles Yellow" It is safe to sav that this lady was a convert to cigarette smoking.
