WHAT DID tiE SMELLi
The Landiady's Perpiexity Gould Hardly
Have Given Him Comfort.


Mr.. Ronald TUCSON finally found rooms
that suited him. They were In house
nigh ON Beacon hill, house on Mount
Vernon street. The bedroom overlooked
an apology for garden. Trees sweetened
the air and birds made fuss in the morn
ing, calling attention to their early rising.
The jar of the street car was far away, and
Mr. TUCSON considered himself fortunate.
He was priggsh man and was In
many ways a very Betty. He insisted on
oatmeal for breakfast. He wore rubber
overshoes II rain threatened. He went TO
bed invariably at IL O'Clock, and II ne
were undressed little before II he waited
In his nghtshirt until the hands pointed
exactly at the hour before he put out the
gas. And If there was anything no an
horred il was the smell of tobacco.
The first night he spent in his new
quarters he noticed soon after he got INTO
bed the odor of an extremely good cigar,
for, prig as no was, he knew the difference
between cabbage and Havana. The odor
was none the less disagreeable to him.
Where did the smell come fromY Through
the Window There was no one In the
garden. There was no one on the same
floor with him. He was under the impress
sion that only women were on the hOor
above He knew some women smoked
cigars-witness George Sand and Teresa
! Carreno-but he remembered the faces OF
! the women he saw at dinner that night,
and he almost laughed as he Thought or
| them putting clouds of smoke. Twas very
annoying, but he at last went to sleep.
The next morning lie spoke TO the land
lady. mo, Mr. TUCSON, curiously enough
there's no one i'm the house who smokes.
Not that l object to it, Indeed l rather
like the smell of good cigar. Smoke All
you want TO. That night Mr. TUCSON
shifted about the bedroom. Not trace,
not suspicion of smoke. 1t must have
been his Imagination No sooner was nc
in bed than he was nearly strangled by to-
bacco smoke 1t was as though some one
had blown it in his face. Thick, pungent
was the smoke. Was he the victim of

Pale, irritable, he went to the breakfas

When you go to private view In Lon
don you only look at the pictures by acct
dent. 1t is the people you have really
come to see. You walk about and stand
about for hours in your best frock, your
smartest and newest shoes and the most
sublime hat you can manage to evolve
Your gown is usually too tight, your
shoes are frequently ditto and your cha
peau, ten chances to one, Is frightfully top
heavy. Still all these sorrows must be
borne with heightened color and as
pleased an expression as you can manage
to work up. Duchesses dig their elbows
into your ribs, you step apologetically upon
the patent leather toes of duke, mar
chionesses disarrange the back of your skirt
and marquises are apt to ogle you through
eyeglasses. The greatest actresses and
the most celebrated demimondaines rub
shoulders, while actors, artists, litterateurs
and cabinet ministers are as thick as peas.
1t is all very amusing and entertaining II
YOU only have keen sense of humor. III
YOU are not blessed with this gift OF the
| gods, a private view is no sort OF use for
| you to 90 to. Give your coveted ticket
away and wait till the crush is over ana
