The New Society That a BrOoklyn
Girl Says She is Going to start.

The New Society That a BROOKLYN
Gfri Says She is Going to Start.
Brooklyn girl says that she is going 10
start new society. She does not intend
doing this because she thinks there is a.
dearth of women's societies. But she has
discovered an entirely new field, quite un-
occupied by women's societies or any other
KIND. The name of the new organization
Is to be the Parvenu Society, and the
badge a mushroom: the motto: .-She COM
eth up as a flower"
The members of this society will be al
lowed to mention their fathers and moth
ers, and may speak occasionally OF a
grandfather or a grandmother, but a mem
ton OF a great-grandfather or a great.
grandmother shall be punished by fines.
No ancestors of any degree of nearness
may be described to other members unless
said ancestors have been engaged In man.
Isl labor or have been the objects of pub
lie charity or public punishment Family
records, relics, genealogical trees and 9TH
er indications of family antiquity will he
burned at the monthly meetings People
who have proof of the antiquity OF their
stock will not be really acceptable as menu
t1on that they use every effort to obliterate
tcrs.
The Brooklyn girl is not animated by a
spirit OF envy. No sour grapes have set her
teeth on edge. She is eligible to the
Daughters OF the Revolution. the Daugh-
ters OF the American Revolution, the New
England Women, even to the Colonial
Danes! The members OF these various
societies cannot imagine, so they say, why
she talks a. she does" And then again.
there are other women who say they can.

Queens Who smoke.
From the ST Iamo~ n,.,,,.4

Many women will woni1ef atlthe account
OF the extent to which lqueem indulge in
tobacco The fact, however Ii establish
ed beyond doubt that at least nix ladies Of
this exalted rank are inyeteEste smokers.
The Empress Of Austria, accouats for from
thirty to forty cigarettes daU; the Dow
aser Czarina. too, smokes a gaDd deal, but
oriy In her private Apartments; Carmen
sylvia, the gifted Queene poetess of Rou-
maria, the queen regent Of Spain. Queen
Amelfe OF Portugal and Queen Margherita
OF Italy are all devoteess OF tobacco. 1t
must be remembered, of course. that Aus
TRAN and Russian ladies in general are
foNd OF cigarette smoking.
In France the ladies are rising up in
arms against this royal protection of the
abuse OF tobacco. and all sorts Of Ill are
foretold for the reckless queens and en-
presses. They are ssid to beSn0t only ruin
ing tkeir health. but to Sbe running the
risk Of falling a victim to IRE. Certainly the
female smoker dees run especial dangers,
even though she be a. queen, Thus the
perils incurred by lady smokers when they
are clad In light tulle ffScks is apparent
enough; and the tragic story of the un-
happy Austrian Urincess.s which Will not
soon be forgotten. is he3dsalp az warning
to them. Caught by heE father while
smoking cigarette, she tried to conce Il

light material. The dress ignited. and she

REMARK BETRAYED HIM.
Did Not Know This Man Was Insa,
Until He Spoke Of Women.

From the New York Herald.
He sat In the smoking compartment of
the parlor car complacently putting a per-
fecto. His easy manner and his polished
language proclaimed him to be a man of
the world.
"Of one thing I am certain" he said,
"and that Is that l understand women
thoroughly and completely"
His fellow passengers looked at each
other uneasily and made various excuses
to leave the compartment.
Two keepers boarded the train at the
next station and took the solitary smoker
into custody He had escaped from an In
sane asylum that morning.

tame bear meat is very similar to that of
