that society Is always changing, or
tending TO change, It's place OF meeting
In the park. That reason Is the de-
sire TO get away. 10 keep separate
from the herd. The smart people
gave up being formally polite and
making bows and graceful inclina-
tons of assent" when the middle class
grew polite and shop boys and girls
adopted the etiquette Of the old regime.
When the manners Of those below

onghly polite The only way Of escape
was the adoption Of self-cOnscious

keep his choicest brands In nm old
cigar box. besprinkled with good
brandy to keep the tobacco moist and
to improve the flavor says the Phia-

Not long ago the lawyer invited three
old cronics TO visit his house and
while away an evening with the COM
pany of their pipes. In honor Of the
occasion the host produced his finest
tobacco and invited his friends TO help
themselves. The pipes were lighted,
and with the first puffs Of smoke came
an odor too horrible to be described.
The wife of tho distinguished member
Of the bar. who had been upstairs, IN
stutned search for burning rags, IN
tho course OF which she entered the
room where the smoker was In prog
ress.
DO you smell that terrible stench2"
she asked, addressing her husband.
Yes answered the chorus OF three
white-faced visitors. laying aside their
pipes But her spouse smoked calmly
on In evident enjoyment and sug-
gested that, although he didn't smell
anything unusual. perhaps the cook
was burning fat In the kitchen range.
j. was not long. however, before the
odor was traced 10 the tobacco smoked
by the host and his three guests.
Did you get that tobacco out OF the
cigar box on the library table, asked
the lawyers wife
Yes. "

There was no particular objection TO
this friendly act, and he received his
