FAINT son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. IL. Paul,

monde of America $ noked cigarettes,
but of late the practice is INDUCED in by
women who profess the highest respecta-
bility. Whether or not the habit per-
mits of them retaining their self respect
or command that of others is a matter
somewhat discussed. 1t is undoubtedly
a fact that when women indulge in the
pernicious habit and endeavor 10 follow
in the footsteps of men, they lower them
selves in the estimation of people and
sacrifice their greatest charm, attractive
ness and noblest womanliness. Though
cigarette smoking by m may look
"cute" to men and be deemed proper by
women who indulge in it, it is anything
but elevating and should be condemned
by all respectable people.
