The weather conditions of the week
have been generally favorable for gather

ali sections east of the Rocky Mountains
and on the Pacific slops. Ralns retarueu

The weather of the past week has beeh

of rust and shedding still continue, how

GIRLS WHO SMOKE On THE
BEACH.

A dispatch from Atlantic City says:
The custom of smoking cigarettes on
the be ch here is no longer entirely
confined to young men. The young o.
men have usurped the prerogative. 1t
is now daily sight to see scores of
women quietly putting away in semi =
secluded spots not far distant from the
waters odge. The practice is INDUCED
IN by young ladies who in the evening
an be seen proa enading the corridors
f the select hotels, an d their indiffer-
I nee TO passers-by would indicate that
b. girls consider it permissible. Time
was when such conduct would lead to
ostls cism. Its prevalence on the beach
today is indicative of relaxity of the
laws governing women's privileges.
While few spectators look Mortified
mary another young woman looks on
envious of the questionable
accomplishment.
