WOMEN SMOKERS.
A Writer Who Approves of the

writer VINO approves of the Eaif
Sex Using Tobacco.
A recent writer on the subject of
women Smokers has something to
say that may prove interesting reading
to dramatists, stage managers and
theater-goers generally, says the New
York Telegram. Here it is
when in play a well-dressed wom-
an produces cigarette case and begins
to light up you know at once she is
I the = adventures OF the. 4piece.z.s-The
dramatist would never dare to endow
her with any moral qualities after that.
She may possibly be a divorce; at the
very least she has designs on the hero's
purse and on his general happiness.
Who ever saw virtuous stage heroine
smoking? The very idea would be re-
voting to all conventional notions of
propriety and the men would fiercely
discuss this horrifying lapse on the
part Of the d1amatist over their own
cigarettes between the acts. The sup
posed degrading effect Of tobacco on
women is purely a bourgeois notion.
1t affects middle-class women only.
The highest and the lowest do as they
please in the matter. Now and then
there arises some strong and indie
pendent woman who follows her own
course and is perfectly Indifferent to
outside opinion. Such a character was
the late Miss Emily Faithful, most
noble, admirable and withal womanly

nerves after her work was done by
smoking full-havored cigars.
The peasant women, especially in Ire
land and Scotland, enjoy their Whiffs
from short pipes filled with strong to-
bacco. = No! I'm not advocat-
ing the use of short clays among the
wide class covered by the word ladies'
but for the life Of me cannot see what
harm is done to these peasant women
by the process of putting Off their
cares in their own way. In the best
houses nowadays when cigars are
handed around to the gentlemen ciga-
rettes are offered to the ladies. The
hostess, as rule, sets the necessary
example to her lady guests. The ranks
of the regular cigarette smokers in
clude the dowager empress of Russia,
the Princess Of Wales, Princess Beat
rice, Princess Charles of Denmark, the
Queen of Italy, the Queen of Roumania
and the Queen Regent OF Spain.
have no space for list of prominent
members of the English aristocracy
who indulge in the fragrant weed.
F 1t is only the middle-class
person of would-be intensely respect
able manners who raises all this rack
ct against the feminine consumption

SUGGESTIONS FOR A MODEL

tive Building Plan Association.)
Very little attention is given to the
furnishing of the kitchen, even in the
most particular households. If a new
house is being built the careful house
wife may charge the architect with
certain conveniences for the room, but
generally the matter is left wholly: to
his directions; unless he is tyro he
is not apt to disappoint expectations.
Modern improvements in plumbing
and in ranges provide the most con-
venient of permanent fixtures. 1t is
scarcely necessary to warn one against
the old style of shut in plumbing, that
left innumerable crevices and crannies
to give Judgment to dirt and vermin.
The very best results are obtained
from the use of iron pipe instead of
lead, and if this be used there is much
less chance of "sweating," and the
consequent rotting of the adjacent
wcAd, particularly if the pipes be paint
ed. The woodwork Of the kitchen is
fully as important as that of any of
the rest of the house. Pine is gen.
orally chosen, and is as good as any
other wood; it should be oiled and
given several coats of hard varnish,
or else painted in yellow Or buff.
Particular attention should be given
to the use CT thoroughly seasoned

On one of the sweetest mornings in
all the May came two birds to the tree
two robins, in their honeymoon, who
We're out in search of house. They
put their heads first on this side, then
on that; wished, perhaps, it had been

near his wife, and they talked it all

and many tender glance!

little bride-bird said. If she spoke at
all it was very low--there was need
mat put one should hear-perhaps it
was only a look. Be that as it may,
the mate stretched his brown wings
TWICE, thrice for the Joy Of it, and
darted off and away, down over the
meadow, his red breast twinkling above
the green. Home! home! home" he
sang over and over; home! homer
His heart was overlooking, and he
could not keep it to himself.

twisted her head, and turned her
bright eyes, until one might justly con-
clude she had viewed the matter from
every side. She saw one thing, too,
that, neither had noticed before.
Through the open window, framed in
with apple boughs, some one was
watching them-a child with great
dark eyes and halo of golden hair.
So sweet face-but, oh, so thin and
white! If the little bird had been on
the dough just above she might have
seen that the child sat in a large wheel
chair--sat without moving, her hands
clasped in her lap, and hardly daring
to breathe for fear of frightening the
robins away.
The little bride-bird stood still, too,
looked her all over, and waited. By
the time her mate had finished his tour

known to herself, she was ready to
begin.

Thrifty to the Last.

An old Lancashire miller, noted for
his keenness in matters financial. was
once in a. boat trying his best to get
across. the stream which drove the mill
The stream was flooded, and he was
taken past the point at which he
wanted to land; while, farther on, mis-
fortune still further overlook him, to
the extent that the boat got upset. His
wife, realizing the danger he was in,
ran frantically along the side of the
stream, crying for help in a pitiful
voice; when, to her sheer amusement,
she was suddenly brought to stand
still by her husband yelling out: eff
I'm drowned, Polly, dunnot forget that

DIGNITY OF DINING,

Some 200 or 300 years ago Italy led
in cooking and France laughed and
Knocked at the Italian devotion to the
science of the kitchen. Then came
days in France when masters of the
art of cooking, such as Bechameil,
serving Louis the Magnificent, and
Vatel, the famous steward of the prince
de Condo, ruled over the dinner table,
and great ladies thought it no indig-
nifty to prepare a favorite dish.

NEW RAILROAD BILL INTRODUCED
South Dakota Legislators HustlinE
for Senatorial Cnucuses.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan 11.-(Specal Tele-
gram.)-In the house today, the principal bill
introduced was a railroad bill, by Dollar.
which is pronounced by those who have
studied it, to be nearer the Wheeler bill OF
two years ago, than is the bill introduced by
Palmer. Bills were also introduced for ap-
pointments of deputy oil inspectors. fixing
10 per cent as the interest limit by con
tract providing for boiler inspector and
commissioner of immigration.
The first move in the contest cases was
made today by a resolution calling on the
secretary of state for the papers and records
in the contest from the Thirty-eighth dis
trict; Ragan against Howell
A resolution was presented, appointing
Representatives Kirk, Anderson and Kuhns
a committee to investigate the question OF
a settlement with the state treasurer, as
asked for the governors message.
In the senate, after the introduction of a
few minor bills, an executive session was
called, to discuss the governors special mes
sage in regard to the treasurer, and a com
mittee, consisting of Senators S. Bothum and
Sheldon was elected to act with the house
committee to investigate the treasurers set
tlement.
There is a general fusion caucus on tonight
and a populist senatorial caucus will be
called for Thursday night. The republicans
will hold a caucus tonight for the purpose OF
discussing a time for a senatorial caucus. A
change is apparent on the surface in the san-
atorial situation, but all are hustling to be
ready for the caucuses
On account OF the absence of some of the
leading republicans the caucus tonight only
met to adjourn to Wednesday night, and a
caucus is probable for Friday night.

The bills filed are the first to throw light
upon the great sums of money which were
paid to the attorneys in the Northern Pa

ceiver Oakes covered period of about eleven
months and all the while the attorneys
were also engaged in looking after the other
affairs of the receivership For their serv-
ices in the investigation alone, however,
the sum OF $40. 600 was paid. OF this amount
John c.. Spooner received $4,000, Colonel
