CIGARETTES TO CIGARS
Some Washington Women Bow 20
the Blandishmcnts of Prince
Nicotine.

Cigar dealers confirm the reports
that society women are acquiring the
habit OF smoking cigars, and that the
sale Of cigarettes is falling off The
women who are now purchasing cigars
are the same customers who formerly
called for cigarettes, they said. The
women have become so addicted 10 the
use of the weed" that cigarettes no
longer satisfy the cravings for tobacco.
William ], Dempsey, chief clerk OF one
of the most prominent retail firms In
Washington. said yesterday that the
women who purchase cigars at his store
are among the most prominent In Wash
ington.
During my five years stay In the
capital city," said Mr.. Dempsey ~ have
seen the female taste for nicotine grow
from the weakest cigarette to the strong
est and blacklist cigar / have in mind
one woman who mas been buying to-
bacco ever slncs the cigarette habit first
became prevalent among women. At
that time she used to purchase one pack
of ladies' cigarettes week, later she
would drop in twice week. and the
habit grew with time. Before the end Of
the year she purchased as many as
twenty-five boxes single week. These
cigarettes do not now apparently satisfy
her tastes.
This is only one instance. and ] am
sure that we number among our GUS
toners as many as twenty-five women
that smoke cigars continually. They have
become expert in the selection of the
tobacco, and we have to open as many
as ten boxes before they are able to
select the exact shade that suits their
taste"
Several other dealers In the city COM
mented upon the gradual change from
cigarettes TO cigars by the weaker sex.
A leading Ninth street dealer has been
receiving several orders from prominent
women over the telephone, and has been
instructed to deliver the cigars at only
certain times Of the day, generally after
9 o'clock in the morning and before In
the afternoon, thus arousing the suspi-
cion that they did not want their hus-
bands to Know of their purchases.
At the hotel cigar stands the habit
seems to have increased, This is what
a dealer In one Of the leading hotels has
to say on the subject:
"Why, women have been smoking
cigars In Washington for long time.
