fumes of which were, to quote one au-
thority, comparable only to a mix

The kaiser always smokes a pipe in
private, and, like the prince of Wales,
favors the small brier pipe.
On the other hand, there are many
middle-class men to-day who smoke
pipes costing many dollars. For the
most part they are presentation pipes
of carved meerschaum, or fthe brier
type with gold mountings and the
choicest amber mouthpieces. OF
course, you can make a pipe as ex-

mount 1t with diamonds, rubies and
emeralds, and run up the value to an
enormous extent, or you could have
an oriental hookah at anything from
$500 to $4,000
The most costly pipes of to-day are
those used by the Dutch and the Ger
