of as it should, and at its close Sir Henry
rose to G, niuct the Prince to the smoking
room, when to our surprise every woman
OF that table rose and trouped after them.
Those beautiful women in their comedy
low cut gowns and covered with diamonds
disappeared into the smoking room to
finish their dinners with cigars.
LADY Elliot and I said that there was
nothing for us to do but to sit down and
have a little friendly chat together. for
We could not possibly stand the smoke
of that room.
II have seen fine old whitehaired ladies
in Vienna sitting tired out in q ballroom,
waiting to take home the daughters they
we're chaperoning, each with great cigar
in her mouth.
@An Austrian woman is never expected
to smoke until she is married, though I
suppose the young girls do it in their
own apartments. There was one little
Austrian duchess, whose name ! have for
gotten, who was burned to death while
attempting to hide cigarette in the pocket
of light frock when her governess came
unexpectedly into the room when she was
smoking

who have travelled often smoke, and other

SUMNER HOTEL CLOSETS.
How the Wise woman Adds to tho Con.
yeniences or Her Room.

Every woman who goes to summer
resort hotel knows the despair into which
she is plunged when she sees the line OF
hooks behind curtain which constitute
the closet wherein she is to keep all her
dainty clothes.
The wise traveller will take along some
extra nails or hooks and add them to the
scanty row. Over the nails, II she uses
them. she will put empty spools. as this
will avoid the possibility Of rust.
Then she win take clean sheet which
she has packed in her trunk and tack "
along the wall under the hooks, In the end
that hangs down she will have sewed
loops of tape, and when her skirts are
hung on the hooks she will double the sheet
over them, fastening the loops on the nails
or little lacks. which she can put up also.
Or. IL she prefers, she will divide the sheet
into sections, much as shoe bag IL made.
Still another scheme is TO take several
old pillow cases and fasten long strings or
tapes on each side of them, hanging them as
a bag over the nei!s and putting the ends
of tho skirts in them. This protects all
the skirts from the dust. The sheet and
pillow cases take up little room In the trunk
when packed and are very easily put up
In the mountain or seaside hotel. Brush
or turn wrong side out and shake free from
dust every other week. The same things
may he made Of colored calico II desired
but 1t IL just as we'll to use up old sheets
and pillow cases.

Mrs Hugh Fraser, the authoress' sister OF
Marion Crawford and niece OF Julia "ard
Howe, who sailed last week for Japan, IN
a talk about her life abroad told Of the uni
versatility of the custom Of smoking among
upper class women Of all nationalities.

They may not have spoken OF it, feeling
that q Western woman would object, and 1t
would not be courteous to do so.
But II the upper class women are not
seen smoking. the middle and lower class
women smoke constantly. On long railroad
journeys you will always see the women
smoking. They smoke the three whiffs
of tobacco that the little pipe contains, and
then fill and light 1t again. They have told
me that they smoke in this way because it

tobacco is very bad. believe it is home

AN the upper class women abroad
smoke-Euglish, French, German, Italians
and Russians. In many circles In England
it is expected that cigarettes shall be passed
TO the women after dinner, and we have a
peculiar rule there about smoking In public.
At after theater suppers one always smokes.
