can women are following suit, as is
their custom toward older countries.
A middle-aged woman or an old
woman smoking in a public place is a
sight to make angels weep and men
sigh over the memory of their moth
ers.
The young girls who smoke in pub
lie or anywhere else ought to make
men pause and hesitate before think
ing of asking these young women to
perpetuate their species.
And to perpetuate the species and
bring normal, healthy and moral men
and women into the world is the real
business of every young woman, how
ever we may regard other occupa-
tons for her, and however wide We
are trying to mako her sphere of
usefulness.
Field Marshal Lord Methuen has
how come to the front in an open
henunciation of the smoking woman.
He declares woman has not mans
,"scnse of proportion" and does not
know when to stop. But he also be-
1ieves the smoking habit, especially
the cigarette habit, a serious detri-
ment to men. Lord Methuen says:

Present Smoking Craze Is One
To Be Greatly DeplOred

However the present smoking craze
originated, it is most unfortunate. 1t
is bad enough for posterity to have the
vices of the fathers to combat, but
what hope can the world have of
higher humanity when both parents
have vitiated their blood and destroy
ed their nervous systems by nicotine?
A young woman on one of the large
ocean liners was seen always with
cigarette between her lips. She re-
marked to some fellow passengers
that she had taken the cure once at
sanitarium, but that the habit was too
strong to overcome. Many women
who are subject to nervous break
downs and who are sent to rest
cures" and sanitariums to recover
from "over work. or "over pleasur-
ing" are really suffering from nico-
tine poisoning, were the truth known.
1t seems appalling that such a con-
dition of society should exist; appall-
ing that smoking among women has
attained such hold upon the COM
munity, that men like Lord Methuen
are alarmed.
But it is we'll that one such man
has raised his voice in protest. The
craze for smoking started with the
English women, and it is befitting that
Englishmen should make some effort
at mitigating the evil.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-07-09

For evil it is, and one which men,
aces the generations to some.
If woman is to have the franchise
and use it to better the world, leA her
not emulate the vices of men to prove
her worth and ability.
And let her value her beauty and
health and attractiveness enough to
enable her to give up the disgusting
cigarette habit.
Let us hope Lord Methuen a proph-
ct when he says:
Il do not think the time is far dis
tant when there will be as strong a
crusade against smoking to excess as
there has been against drinking to ex-
cess.
Il believe it will be the doctors who
will lead the crusade against excessive
smoking.
They will tell person plainly that
it is ruination to his nerves to smoke
cigarettes, as some people do, from
the age of ten years onward"

< L.
vt had been about the hottest day
1 of the summer. The mercury was
sizzling around ninety, and the
streets had that wilted detected
look that comes only with extreme
heat.
Put on your things-we'n go to the
roof garden and get cooled off. It's in
sufferable here
Helen assented eagerly. She had
been in all day and felt more than usu-
al the depressing heat.
"Now, don't spend an hour primp-
Ing! Just put on anything and let's get
but of here"
"All right-I'H be only a few min
utes."
She hurried into one of her prettiest
gowns. They had been out so little
lately and she had so few chances to
wear the many dainty gowns of her
trouseau. The one she selected now
was a white chiffon, very soft and
sheer. She fastened few hooks at the
waist and neck and then ran in to
Warren for the unreachable ones in
The center.

know nobody wears gowns that button

1T is hard enough for man to know

of shivarees is dead, and romance has
went into the discard. Gee, in the old
days a girl got some kind of classy
proposal believe me. 1t would be out
in the moonlight, near some old castle,
usually under one of them bay trees
or hemlock, or whatever it was that
used to grow when knights was bold.
The moon would shine down on a
white, slim figure of girl, and on the
+! broad shoulders of a strong, tall knight
with a sword, a cut on his pale tenn
pie and the foam of battle on his Won
derful mouth. He would hold her to
him for wild, sweet moment and then
they would be betrothed, her and he.
| There amt no knights any more,

why. l wasn't long-not fifteen min
utes.'
He grunted.
What roof" he asked when they
reached the street.
'Oh, the Waldorf" eagerly. That was
where they had so often gone before
their marriage and to Helen it seemed
still surrounded with the glamour Of
their courtship.
They used always to take a taxicab;
but now he put her on a street car
without comment. 1t was not that she
wanted the taxicab. She would have
protested at the needless expense. But
she wanted him to ask her, and not,
because they were married, take the
street car as q matter of course.
The orchestra was playing when
they stepped out on the brilliantly
lighted roof. The music, the lights, the
flowers. and the gay dresses made a
scene full of color and life.
"Oh, Warren" eagerly, lets try to
get a table in our old corner over
there. Isn't that an empty table behind
that group?
Warren was looking around with
slow elaboration. It's too crowded
over there: the walters will be knock

Helen followed with a sense Of dis
appointment wholly out of proportion
to the incident. Has he forgotten how

Mems Nerves Stand the Strain
of Nicotine Better than
Moments.

"a man is constitutionally strong
er than a woman, and his nerves will
stand the strain of nicotine much
better than hers will.

Irritation is set up the more quickly.
But l think it is the eyes which

excessive Indulgence, these organs
generally become weak-looking and

Another symptom of the habitual
cigarette smoker is a nasty, trouble

caused by the nicotine to the throat

'ican-J Ournal-EXaminer)
smoke-a habit which, | am sorry to
say, is pretty general among cigarette
smokers.
Il think you will agree that these
ailments do not add to the attrac-
tiveness or the charm of the gentle
sex, but then, in addition, you have
to consider the deleterious effect
cigarette smoking has upon the heart
and the nerves.
THE cigarette habit among ladies
is deplored by all doctors, but par
ticularly in regard to the younger
members of the sex.
AT middle-age the effects are not
SO much pronounced, or, perhaps, not
SO noticeable, but in the case of
young girl her development is I'M
doubtedly impeded, and this must
have a detrimental effect upon the
future of the race"
1t is gratifying to lovers of the hui
man race to have man of brain and
position take this stand toward the
smoking habit, especially an English
man, for it is English women of prom
inence who have made the unwholer
some custom fashionable.
There are a million more women
than men in England, and perhaps
the habit first originated in woman's
desire for mans society, and in her
loneliness she found even the smell
of his cigar smoke solace.
There was once a romantic girl liv-
ing in a retired country place who
asked her lover to smoke into a bot
tie that she might let the smoke es-
cape some lonely evening during his
absence and imagine him present

and Scotch highball for him was their
usual order.
''Oh, Warren look-there is our old
waiter over there by the post. Don't
you wish he could serve us? But sup
pose" regretfully this isn't one of his
tables?"
What difference does it make who
serves us as long as we get what we
order?"
Here the opera suddenly burst into
the refrain of popular light opera.
And they used to play that so
much! Oh, Warren can you ever for
get the wonderful evenings We have
had up here? think some of our very
happiest hours were spent here.
Won't you always love this roof gar
den just for its associatiOns-for what
it meant to us?'
But he was examining the siphon the
waiter had placed on the table.
Here! Bring another siphon-this
won't work"
oh, Warren." despairingly.
'Ah-yes-what did you say" Then,
not waiting for her to answer. There:
that's better" as the waiter put
fresh siphon before him.
Were all men like this? she asked
herself passionately. Did marriage
mean an end to all romance-all senti-
ment? Did il mean the crushing out OF
all the warmth and glamour Of love?
Later, when they rose TO leave. he
said. with evident satisfaction:
We'll, We got cooled off-didn't
WEI"
Yes" she murmured, but with
double meaning, which he wholly fail
ed to catch.
