A ROYAL EXAMPLE
Czarina of Rnia Forbid Women Smoke Her Pyenee

MED the story when it reached her
ears.
Ladies'" she said at recent draw

order against the use OF tobacco Is
one OF my own conceits.

know from my remarks dropped now

my grand mistress to do away with

the same evening put an end to the
scheme. Her majesty declared en-
phadcally:
"A cigarette In the mouth OF a wo-
man Is as ugly as an oath In that Of
man."
Just at this particular era OF our
civilization, when the old world vices
are spreading into the remotest cor
ners Of the new world, 1t Is gratifying
TO have woman In the position Of
the empress of Russia take such
courageous stand. That II was cour-
ageous can be understood from the
following comments from an exchange.
THE czarina's order against smok-
ing Is not lacking In political signifi-
canoe. II shows that, at/last, she has
taken her place as sthe first lady In
the land, 80 long disputed by the Do

Empress Marie, who Is sister OF the
Queen OF Great Britain, is an inveter-

All honor to the czarina OF Russia.
One can only wish that her influence
were greater In political matters In
her own land, and that she could do
away with the implements of torture
and death In the hands of her men as
easily as with the cigarette In the
hands OF her women.
