QUALITIES THAT MAKE A LADY
Idea of Charles Dana Gibson Very
Near the Truth.

Il dined with Charles Dana Gibson
at Princes restaurant in London dur.
ing the season" said a Chicagoan.
The lofty. spacious dining-room
was filled with women in pale gowns
their hair uncovered and their arms
and necks bare, and though these
women were very fashionable, yer
aristocratic, they smoked cigarette
with their coffee as they watched tbs
bioscope pictures that went on at one
end of the big room and as they lis
tened to the singing that went on al
the other
amid all this feminine smoking
we Americans began to discuss and
to define the word lady. Was i.
ladylike to smoke? we asked Would
a lady ever smoke? What was a
lady?

a lady was the best that was given.
"A lady he said ignoring the
smoke question altogether, lis a
woman who always remember others
and never forgets herself.
