MRS. EVERYBODY, GOOD NEWS!

New Device Prevents Cigar Ashes From Falling on Carpet The pleasure of many a good smoke is marred by the fireside references which inadvertently goes, with the act of smoking —that is, of the ashes falling sometimes on the carpet and sometimes on the corner of the table. Ash receptacles not always are effective for the reason that no matter how many there may be, it often happens that they are not conveniently located at the very instant of their demand. A Philadelphia inventor has devised an ash receptacle which fits on the end of the cigar and stays put on the end until the entire cigar is burned, and when the cigar has been finished, the ashes are all contained inside and no charge of being a dirty smoker can be made against the fellow who makes use of thia device.
