When Partisan ladies smoke, they use
deliciously scented cigarettes tinctured
with roses, carnations or heliotrope. A
French journalist has recently visited
the great establishments where cigarettes
are manufactured for fashionable women
exclusively. The most expensive kind
made mites the fragrance of delic ,te
flowers with soupcon Of opium. The
journalist being evidently woman scolds
the Partisan bellies for debasing them
selves to the level Of the brute creation

running their teeth and contracting the
bondage Of the opium habit The soup
con Of the Chinese drug should be left
out, Of course; but it might not be bad
idea to encourage effeminate youth Of the
masculine sort to smoke these ladies'
cigarettes. Heliotrope, carnation or rose
perfume might do something toward
fumigating the smell Of burnt paper
which now pervades the atmosphere Of
streets and parlors.-New York Tribune.
