Here's . Nice Point Settled.
The requirements of etiunette, as re-
CARDS the obligation of one smoker to
give light to another from his cigar,

country, says the Pittsburs Dispatch.
The man who Is asked for light
usually gives 1t rather than take the
trouble Of refusing, on the same prin-
ciple as paying fare for hanging to a
car platform. or going to a theatre to
obtain a rear view of feminine headgear.
In Havana the traditions OF Spanish
formality combine with the universally
Of smoking to form a cfear and well
defined code on the subject.
The request Of one smoker to another
for. light must always be honored In
