In spite Of the growing collection Of

with reputation for getting on famously
with foreigners. and who ia always in de-

when smoking in first class drawing room,
or one which is called first class. My hus-

or filled with company. He was brought
up that way. and he can't do differently
when In fashionable surroundings, although

he would complaoently puff a pipe.
what he might do in England I can't
imagine Most likely though, he would
finish his smoke out In the dining room,
"The time may come when New York men
and women of the particular set will sit
down together after dinner to smoke in
the drawing room. but so far the custom is
not alarmingly popular. know Of dozens
of fashionable houses in this city where
never woman even dreams of smoking
a cigarette in the drawing room, for the
reason that the mistress of the house has
not cultivated the smoking habit She
does not like to see it in others and con-
seauently she will not ask her women guests
to smoke in her house"
