a title, however impoverished and e.

opens a door to this exclusive New

difficult of entrance 50 long as there
are no titles by which to ticket men

THE FAIR CUBAN.
From among the Cuban refugees in
New York City one, and a woman at
that, has found her exile in the United
States a blessing unmixed. This pretty
little lady lived in Havana, and what
she did not know about TOBACCO was
hardly worth knowing. so, when in
New York her money gave out, and she
went humbly about seeking some re-
munerative occupation, her one ac
complishment was a remarkable facil-
ity for preparing and rolling the most
delicious little cigarettes. She made
few as a thank-Offering TO a fashion
able, tender hearted young woman who
had sent her very substantial aid. The
young woman smoked them in the
dainty secrecy of her own chamber. but
so exquisite not only was the flavor
and the effect of the wee tissue paper
cylinders of tobacco that she confided
her delight and few cigarettes TO a
few bosom friends
To make a long story short. the little
Cuban has more orders for cigarettes
than she can fill, and the debutantes
this winter, with their mothers and
their maiden aunts, all smoke and carry
not at all the sort of cigarette cases the
average would-be emanciDated woman
affects Their cases are very small,
because the cigarettes are small, and
the cigarettes are also most expensive.
They cost about % cents apiece. and
hold just enough tobacco TO give the
smoker four or six delicious puffs after
a meal. Only after a meal are they
smoked, for the reason that a fashion
able physician has boldly announced
cite as a digestive.
With the tobacco an aromatic hero
is mixed, and ii leaves the room where
these charming smokers have been rcd
olent of most sweet and delicate per
fume, while their lips are as fresh as
roses after the harmless dissipation.
If the cigarettes are adopted for
health'S sake, the cases that hold them
are selected for their richness and
#
gold, and the exterior is almost covered
with what the smart girl calls her
"dOodaddleS." \ dOOdaddle is a minute
trinket, a miniature jeweled souvenir
of some memorable occasion or local
ity, or a memento of some one, and
they are all offerings from the young
wOmans friends of both sexes. A per
fectly new English threeDenny piece,
its pierced center filled with a small
gem. a tiny gold golf ball and such like
trifes, fastened by a few fine gold links
to any part of the exterior of the case,
is where the fashionable young woman
wears her doOdaddles. instead of on
chain around her neck.
To such a pitch has this passion for
collecting trinkets arisen in society that
in some instances the really pretty
cigarette case has become the founda-
ton merely for bunch Of juggling
trifies. and at dinner parties the cigar
cite cases are passed about the table
Ostensibly that your friends may try
your cigarettes, but in reality to afford |
an opportunity of displaying the num-
Der and great sDlendor of your keep

MILLIONAIRE FARMERS.
Every fad of the immensely wealth. |
cannot be condemned as an eXt-Ava-
sance, but often hailed gladly as a |
means of circulating hard cash and Civ
ng occupation to many working folk. !
That is the way you should regard the
almost absorbing passion the Well-tO-
10 New Workers show for supplying
themselves with unheard-of luxuries
rom their own country places.
