ENGLISH WOMEN SMOKERS.
Two London Ladies' Clubs Take Ac-
ton and Exclude Them.

The London newspapers have fire.
quently poked their ponderous fun at
the habit of smoking alleged to be
prevalent among the ladies of the
United States, and have raised their
voices in thankfulness that English
ladies were not like their American sis
tiers. All this is amusing in view of the
fact that two of the ladies clubs in
London, the Writer'S and the Pioneer,
have pronounced against their mem
bers smoking. The Writers club, the
membership of which is exclusively
composed of women journalists, or
authors, taboos tobacco altogether.
Some of the members accustomed to
cigarette or cigar openly INDUCED
therein, after remonstrance. Then a
meeting was held and a great majority
decreed that "any lady found smoking
must resign membership" At the
Pioneers members may smoke under re-
tirement in a sort of crib, into which
non-members are not allowed to pene-
trate, and would soon quit if they got
there. There are other ladies' clubs
where the cigarette is under no ban. In
the most select private circles cigarettes
for ladies appear simultaneously with
CIGARS for men-
Cuban Tobacco and Sugar.
The Gu ~ tobacco yield the past year
was but $4,000 bales. as against AGO.
600 bales the year before. The sugar
crop of the island has been reduced to
one-fourth of its former size, and will
be still smaller the coming year.

DEATH OF j. C. CUTTING.

Joseph c. Cutting of Guilford died
about O'Clock Wednesday evening of
Bright disease from which he had suffered
for several years. The disease was aggravat-
ed by an attack of the grip about two months
ago. Mr.. Cutting was born in Brattleboro
Jan. rs, 1925, at the Cutting homestead
uear the Guilford line, now known as the
Eastwood place. His father was John
Cutting, and his mother Emily Stewart. a
daughter of Col. Daniel Stewart. His dis
trict school education was supplemented
by several terms at the Mt. Caesar semi
nary at Swanzey, n. II. In 1916 he mar
ried Miss Mary Jane Thayer of Williams
vile and soon after he bought a farm in
Newfane, which he carried on for two
years. Mr.. and Mrs Cutting then moved
to this village and he was employed for
two years in the Hannibrl Hadley meat
market. He then established himself in
the provision business in Boston, which he
conducted until about the year 1860, when
he disposed of it and bought the farm in
Guilford Centre which he has carried on
as dairy farm ever since. Mr.. Cutting
represented the town of Guilford in the
legislature of 1892 and he had held the Of
nee OF selectman and other town offices.
Mrs cutting died on the 10th OF March
last.
Mr.. Cutting was a man of sterling quail
tiles of manhood, stanch friend, a kind
and helpful neighbor, an active and use
ful citizen, with convictions on all public
questions which he fearlessly maintained.
The business of his large farm had been
conducted with ususual enterprise, dill
gence and success. Two children survive.
Mrs. Flora j. c. Clary of Brattleboro and
Willard II. Cutting of Brooklyn, n. Y.
Mr. Cutting is also survived by two broth
ers, John S. and Henry NJ. Cutting, and
a sister, Mrs. Emily C. Eastwood, all of
brattleboro. Funeral services will be
held at the house at noon tomorrow. Rev.
ID. ID. Maxwell officiating. The burial
VIII be in Prospect Hill cemetery.

ANENT THE CHORAL UNION

When the project of forming a musical
society was mentioned a year or so ago,
some, perhaps many, were very doubtful
as TO the wisdom of such a movement.
80 yes of course it is desirable, but"
and this, that and the other objection was
made. The principal thought was that
the public would not support it sufficiently
to make it a success financially. But the
Union was formed and has given us four
splendid concerts at an expenditure, prob
ably, of from five to seven hundred dollars.
On inquiry we find that the first rendi-
ton of "The Holy City, Melted few dol
lars, as did the first public rehearsal given
in the Unitarian church.
The repetition of The Holy City" was
ill-advised. evidently, for a loss of nearly
S25 was incurred-but some valuable ex
perience was gained. The "Hymn of
Praise and The "Stabat Mater" showed
gain of eight to ten dollars, and the same
is true of the last concert.
All the expense of rehearsals, the rental
OF meeting place, and the services of
pianist are paid from the membership fees,
and the public has so far only reimbursed
the society for the actual outgoes for hall,
piano, printing, and for singers, orchestra
and other necessaries. For such feast as
our people have enjoyed not only full
house should invariably be sold, but we
may, perhaps, be allowed to suggest that
an advance in prices, at least for some
parts of the house, is warranted. A LAWN
concert at 80 cents is not the thing. With
all due respect for the judgment of the
executive committee, and for the organiza-
ton, whose motto is Elevate the musical
standard" We think the present estimate
OF the vlrility and musical ability of the
Choral Union by the cultured citizens of
Brattleboro is sufficiently intelligent and
deep-seated to welcome the opportunity to
contribute little more literally to its sup
port by paying higher price for reserved
seats. AT the same time a sufficient num-
Der of seats for those who cannot really af-
ford to pay more might be reserved in the
discretion of the management.
The comments upon the last concert
have been cordial and unanimous in its
praise, and we hope they have been com
to those who helped to make so
great success.

MRS, LAWN IN GERMANY,
Her Successful Season i'm Opera.

She is Home in BrattIebOrO Once More
Accompanied by her Brother---Notes
OF her winters Work---NOtices from
German Papers.
Mrs. Mary Howe LAWN and her brother,
Lucien Howe, reached New York by the
steamship st. Paul of the American line
last Saturday morning, and came home to
Brattleboro by the evening train. Ihey
we're met in New York by Mr.. LAWN, but
he was unable TO return with them, as he
was obliged to leave for Spartanburg, ).
c., where he had engagements to fill this
week.
Mrs. LAWN and her brother sailed for
Hamburg, Germany, toward the end OF
last September. During the fall and win
ter she sung in concerts in Dresden, Leip-
zig and Berlin, but her main work has
been that of filling engagements in opera
in leading German cities. In Germany
every city of considerable size has its own
theatre or opera house, which is owned by
the city and for which stock company is
engaged TO give performances throughout
the season. Everybody goes to the opera
or the play as a matter of course, and Sun
day night is the great night of the week
At intervals during the season, as the
means at command permit, special attrac-
tions are offered, and singers of celebrity
are engaged to sing in leading operate
roles. These singers are known as
guests" a term corresponding to our
American use of the word "star" in this
connection. The engagement of the guest
is sometimes for one or two nights only,
and sometimes for several nights. 1t was
as guest" therefore, that Mrs. LAWN
has sung, supported by the regular com
panies in these German cities. She has
appeared in Stettin, Danzg, Augsburg,
Essen, Freburg and Trer in the operas,
Lucia" "Traviata," Faust" "Rigolet-
to-" and BARBER Of Seville" singing in
from three to five operas in each city. She
has been uniformly successful, winning the
admiration and the enthusiastic applause
of her audiences, and the generous and APP
proving criticism of the press. Not only
have her accomplishments as a singer been
recognized, but her ability as an actress
has been proved. Out of many press no
tees those which follow have been chosen
as showing Mrs. LAWNS reception in the
various cities and in the several roles in
which she appeared.

BRATTLEBORO.

Rev. Mr.. Peterson of Chicago arrived in
Brattleboro yesterday. He will preach at
the Swedish chapel during this summer.
Lucien Howe, who returned from Ger
many Saturday, will be in Brattleboro I'M
til the latter part of September and will
receive pupils in vocal and instrumental
music.
H. E. Taylor & Son took the agency
yesterday of the Aachen and Munich Fire
Insurance company of Germany. The
company is one of the strongest foreign
organizations of its kind. Its headquarters
in this country are in New York.
The board of trade met with the proprie-
tors of the shoe factory Friday, but no
definite conclusion was reached. The
members of the firm talked favorably of
coming here, but would not state positively
until they had received estimates as to the
cost of repairing the Centrevile dam.
They have not yet received the estimate
Wn. G. Hall, who died at Fitchburg.
Mass, Monday night, was at one time EN-
ployed in S. A. Smith & Co.'s factory, and
about ten years ago was a merchant in
Wardsboro. He afterward lived in Jack
sonville and in Millers Falls, and for some
time had been in the grocery business at
Fitchburg. The funeral in the Congrega-
tional church at Millers Falls Wednesday
was largely attended. The lodges of Odd
Fellows and Masons of that place attended
in body, and the bearers were members
of these orders. The burial was at New
fame.
The Rural Improvement society is be-
ginning its annual work in the village, and
along with this will come the annual call
for money to pay for this work. 1t is one
of the requests for contributions which
ought to be responded TO by everybody
with ready cheerfulness, because the work
which the society does is work which ev-
erybody gets the benefit of. But this work
has been done by the society for so many
years that there is danger of forgetting
how much the village owes to the society
for its cleanliness, tidiness and well-kept
appearance. A good deal of this work has
been permanent in character, but the larger
portion of it has to be done every year and
kept well in hand the season through
Some generous contributions are made ev-
cry year, but the main part of the money
spent by the society must come from the
small annual contribution or membership
fee of many people who want to see our
village streets and breathing spaces made
as attractive as possible, and who also want
to be counted i'm for their share when
the bills are paid.
