NEW YORK APARTMENT.
am rather given myself to believing in
the good side of the world, but l saw some
thing rather queer the other day. went
out with friend to look for an apartment.
Inc second one on the list was in a we'll
Kept house In a fashionable neigh borhood
Inc owner was going abroad and wanted
10 let her rooms for two years, furnished.
Inc little drawing room was gem; every
thing was white and yellow, and in the
windows bloomed yellow and white tulips.
The bedroom back of it was the pink of
perfection. 1t was draped in pink
| SILK, and great pink roses stood in
| the vases about the room. The other
| Two bedrooms were dainty and pretty
! Ny friend thought she had found
just what she wanted. The dining room
| had beautifully carved oak furniture though
it must be said that the pictures on the wall
were decidedly Frenchy. They might suit
clergymen who leave their pulpits to look
for such things, but would scarcely meet
with the appreciation of a lady. However,
as my friend whispered: 81 can easily take
them down; perhaps her husband had them
| when he was a bachelor" The kitchen
was immaculate; and then we were asked
| II we didn't wish to see the smoking room.
That there was one delighted my friend,
| whose husband is what the preachers call
| "a slave to tobacco"
a woMAN's SMOKING ROOM.
It was dark room with its walls hung
in dull tapestry that showed here and there
CLINT of gold; from the ceiling were three
| lamps of bronze that glittered with Jewels.
either really from the east or very good imi-
tations of those of eastern origin. The
| floor was covered with handsome rugs, and
a divan extended all around the room. There
was every kind of pipe possible; there were
| boxes OF cigars. But what puzzled me at
! first was that there were four or five gold
cigarette cases thrown loose on the divan.
The woman picked up one and asked me if /
| didn't consider It very beautiful. though she
| laughed and said: ''Of course, I shall take
| these away with me-" Prompted by what
she considered hospitality, she then said
| Wont you have cigaretteW l answered,
THANK you, don't smoke" Then she
| said, as If to emphasize their goodness, "Oh,
but these are opium" declined even this
| delicacy.
THE WOMEN WHO SMOKE.
Just then saw that in one corner of the
room there was what looked like little
bundle. couldn't help it; walked over
| to it and looked at it. ut" was a woman.
| And asleep. And as looked in her face
| recognized her. l touched her on the
shoulder, and she Weakened with protest.
| said to her, What is the matter with
| you, and what are you doing herep Very
sleepily she told me that she had been
| lunching with her hostess and quite party,
and that she was the only one whom the
| opium made sleep. She said she liked it,
| and that as she didn't dare to
smoke at home, she went to her friends
house to do it. Here is

| She had taken off her own frock, put on q
| tea-gown that belonged to the hostess, so
| that she might not smell of smoke when she
| went home to her husbands Somebody said
that wasn't good womans Well, person

| she is, however, a woman movidg in per-
| fectly good society, whose husband is re-

SOME SENSIBLE WORDS FOR WOMEN.
This is q part Of the result of men saying
that they like to see a woman smoke. You
| can make up your mind that smoking Of
any kind is not going to add to her moral
| or physical beauty. But you can't get her
| to believe that What else does it dos Well,
| it teaches her to drink because she gets
| thirsty, and she thinks it looks very swell
| and marvelously smart to have cocktail
or brandy and soda in between the ciga-
rettes.
You may take it for granted that the
man who tells you that he likes 60 see you
smoke doesn't care any more for you than
| the small boy does for the toy harlequin
which rings every time he shakes it and
which he throws away when the bells are
broken Men laugh about women drinking
H,,k rhn
rather see you drink gallon of tea than
single cocktail. Men may say that you
| look Spanish as you smoke, but you can be
| pretty sure that he is an awful fool of a man
| who urges his sisters or his wife to take to
| cigarettes Severe? Not bit of 1t. If the
| lookers-on see the most of all games, you
| can be pretty certain that when woman
| tells what she knows about other women it
is true.
FROM THE GRAND STAND.
| Well. do the lookers-on see the most Of

Do the lookers-on in the present polit

to be
| Do the lookers-on at a wedding know
what the bride and bridegroom are thinking
about .?
Do the lockers on at the theater realize
how much good their applause does the
| actors
| Do the lookers-on at the Patti concert
think it is worth IS
Do the lookers-on at a prize-fght know
| which man is the best
Do the lookers-on at q milliner's shop
| know why one woman can get bonnet at
half the price another payss
| Do the lookers-on in a candy shop realize
| that men eat more candy than women!
Do the lookers-on of this great world real
ize what It ali meonss That it is bit of
pain and a BIT Of pleasure, and that we
would not recognize the pleasure without
the pains That it is some kindness, some
crueltya That it is made of good people and
bad, with the good in the msjorityE That
it is yours or mine, and that we can get out
of it a great deal of happiness if we want
to--don't you like to be happy? Then, my
friend, don't be a looker-on in this great
world, but be worker and player work
ing no hard that the play is a joy. That is
the best recipe for having good time in
this world, and it comes not only from the
lips, but the experience OF Bah.
