Women Who Smoke
Though our styles come from abroad,
let us. hope that our habits will not
follow slit, for the latest reports from
London say that cigarette smoking
among women Ut thu best society has
become q recognized and decidedly
popular pastin!e 'rhe court tcEaccolist
says that his orders for ladies' cigar
rcftes fully equal those given by men.
Q and as his patronage is from the very
elect. the habit is certain to take hold
in less aristot ratio circles in the same
Way that the gowns anu Other t;lus

Swell brides receive among their
gifts cigarette eases in gold and silver.

y no doubt as to who is the real owner
Of the fancy little trife. At dinners
cigarettes for both men and women
are served with the coffee, and it is
nothing unusual Oh the club train from
Paris to London to see the ladies'
putting their cigarettes after dinner
with as much Indifference as though

Europe adopts it, there can be but
one general comment OF moreS the
pity land hope that such perniclous
example will not be generally followed.
Heating and Ventilation. ee'&
The question of warming a house
In winter, provided it is properly built,
is mainly Il question of ventilation, and
ventilation is greatly concerned about
the quality of air in the cellar, especial
ly if the heating apparatus is contained
in that often neglected portion of the
house. l suppose the relation between
the size of the coal bill and the quality

point in this discussion and, like every
thing else that effects and at1icts our

But let me begin Il little farther back
I can't imagine what you builders were
