CIGARETTES AT DINNER.

Within the past few years, since the
Introduction to America OF pure Turkish
tobacco In the form OF the cigarette. a
new custom has arisen. Many men who
might be justly considered as among
the most confirmed and conservative
OF cigar smokers. have found that there
often comes time when they want Il
smoke. but another cigar would be one
too many.
Men who five years ago would have
scorned the suggestion OF smoking a
cigarette. have since the Introduction
Of the pure Turkish Cigarette. learned
that II offers an agreeable and fra
grant change from the heavier and
more stimulating cigar. IL Is also be-
coming 90 usual as to excite no COM
rnent to serve Turkish cigarettes be-
tween courses at dinner. a custom that
likewise has It's origin in the last few
years -.fft
Only the superior grades OF Turkish
tobacco are imported .nto this country
and of that the choicest Is largely con-
trolled by 3: Anargyros. maker OF the
weii-known Aogui Egyptian Cigarettes,
who imports annually sughcient Turkish
tobacco to make more than three billion

STATION DECORATIONS
DESCRIBED In DETAIL
Major Pangborn, of the Baltimore and Ohio, Gives
Out Facts.

In describing the model of the Union
Station OF Washington, which Is TO be
exhibited by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at the St. Louis Exposition. a
complete description has been made
public for the first time OF the interior
decorations OF the big structure itself.
The construction OF the model Is going
on under the direction OF Major E. c.
PanKborn. The latter. In discussing
the Union Station In a statement is
sued says:
Much of the interior proper, smbrac-
ing an area approximating l00.o S square
feet has a clear space overhead Of 100
feet. So there will be air in abundance.
The main waiting room has a 10o-feet-
high ceiling-a barrel vault-and is a
single apartment 100 feet in width and
$50 feet in length. me main dining
room is IS feet by 100 feet. with a
height OF 30 feet. while the barrel vault

the ticket lobby 1t is cailed-is 6 feet
high. 50 odd feet wide. and ITO feet long.
These are but trio OF the won

place OF train approach.
Twenty thousand people could move
about without overcrowding. 10000 have
a yard square each on which to be at
ease. while 5000 would hardly be char
acterized as a crowd. Three times round
the concourse will be q mile. and those
who are prone TO stretching a leg as a
'breather' before the enforced confine-
ment Of the train may find ample in
