Do Boston women use cigarettes The

Generally the answer is in the regaciye
The fact Is, however, that many more
women than anybody suppose do smoke.
They are not found among the shop ladies
and working girls, but among the ranks Of

charming girl few days ago:

last winter by blonde with the most limo
cent blue eyes and complexion like a rose

ali night, because they live out of town, you
know, and in the morning after breakfast,
which we took about u, Nell said: Has
not somebody cigarettef Mamma was
there, and she brought out box, and we
all sat around the open fire and smoked and
chatted, and had the most aWfully jolly
morning imaginable. Dolly didn't know
before that mamma smoked, and was
frightened TO death when Nell suggested it"
L know of another case where mother and
daughter hold cosy chats over their cigar
cites. They have lived in Europe a good
deal and acquired the habit there. when
we have no company l always join my
husband in cigarette over the coffee at
dinner. He likes it-says it seems so much
more social. OF course l do not care to

also a highly-bred woman who has lived

at prominent dealers, young lady came

for 1t, and carefully remarked that it was
for her brother. l asked the dealer il many
women patronized him, but he said that
they did not come to him. They prefer to
buy from their druggists.
Here is an incident told me not long ago:
One night last week, about II. | was

swell apartment hotel, happened to glance
In the windows of the first floor The sash
curtains were a trifie open, and there, in a
soft white wrapper, sat q very pretty young
woman, cigarette in mouth, her head thrown
back lazily on her easy chair. She was
evidently just going to bed, for her hair was
loose-magnifcent hair that almost swept
the floor. She did look comfortable and
sweet enough to eat"
