ventured to take any liberties In prohib-
tied places. Now he has things all his
own way. To his supreme will and
pleasure tho misguided persons who do
not smoke must conform, and wherever
friends meet arrangements are made for
his convenience, while even those strong
minded ladies who assert their rights
to attend public dinners and other
functions heroically endure rather than
protest against the once detested fumes.
