Society il properly shocked but prop

about the discovery that the queen re-
CARDS cigarette smoking by women and

plaisance, if not with positive favor.
One Of her majesty's daughters left

the railroad station at Windsor a day

princess engraved On ite beautifully

turbatility was upset altogether The

In the telling
There Is 10 question that the habit Of
cigarette smoking by women and wo-
men in the most exclusive SETS
spreading. 1t is practiced in secret and
the excuse for it Is that the fumes Of
tobacco soothe and quiet nerves made
unsteady by the exactions Of fashion

OF obtaining the expected calm and
quietude after late suppers, and 50 on,
are becoming nervous wrecks
Five years ago the mere suggestion
that an English woman should initiate
the women Of Russia and the orient in
the Use Of the cigarette would have been
repealed. The dark eyed creatures who
formed part Of the household Of the
shah Of Persia were looked upon with
mingled feelings Of curiosity and dis
gust when they twirled between their
fingers the paper covered roll Of tobacco
and blew clouds Of smoke from between
their red lips. They Were tolerated in
fashionable drawing rooms because they
had been educated TO smoke just as
English gentlewomen had been educated
to ride after the hounds but there was
no thought Of following the example.
Now that princess has given evil
denee that she is cigarette smoker,
and that the queen tacitly approves of
the habit, Society is changing its mind,
