says SELMA DAY ;
Noted Manhattan Interior Decorator
Here’s something a lot of people say to me:
“I’d so Jove to do my home in good taste,
but I just can’t afford it.”
Well, you know, most interior decorators
nowadays would say that the simplest items
are in the best taste. You’ve probably seen I - A
i hose very plain^ inexpensive simple tumblers. i
To’my mind, they’re much more tasteful than
a great deal of ornate, expensive glassware.
I also like those tables that are simply a
flush mahogany door placed across black
* metal sawhorses. They’re very striking—
lit! and they less than thirty dollars!

And you can get chic pitchers and vases
very inexpensively in a laboratory supply
house . . . believe it or not! 1 buy little beak¬
ers and use them as cigarette urns. 1 think
they’re very smart in very good taste just
like the Luckies 1 put in them.
I’d lletter explain about the Luckies. What
I mean is that 1 love the way they taste. I f
smoke a good deal, so taste is really im¬ \v- t
portant to me. And Luckies just always '-Jilt! v 1 11 Z

lot better.
Good 1aste in Cigarettes
Naturally, we’re pleased that Miss Day smokes
Luckies because they taste better. Luckies taste
tetter to many millions of other smokers . . . and
there are two good reasons why.
First, L.S. M.F.T.—Lucky Strike means fine to¬
bacco . . . light, mild, good-tasting tobacco. Second,
Luckies are made tetter to taste better . . . always
round, firm and fully packed to draw freely and
smoke evenly.
So, get better taste in your cigarette, lie Happy—
Go Lucky. Remember, Luckies are made by The
American Tobacco Company, America’s leading
manufacturer of cigarettes.
