or. rather, they would have been if the
members Of the snti-wallhower COM
mittee hadn't come 20 their rescue.
This committee was an inspiration on
the part Of Mrs. Noble Mcconnell,
founder and president of the clinic.
Mrs. Mcconnell determined that
there shouldn't be any girls sitting out
alone az her ball, and with the assist
ance Of me patronesses she elaborated
this plan. The anti-walhower COM
mittee consisted of fifteen young men,
whose identity was known only 10 the
pstronesses.
When a patroness saw girl unat-
tended she asked her II she couldn't
introduce a friend TO her Then she'd
look around for a man wearing the vest
agreed upon as badge and bring him
20 the Girl. So Of the fifteen hundred
people who filled the Hotel Aston ball

The phantom Lady Nicotine, goddess
Of pipe dreams. IS in the City of New
York i'm real life. She has been here
gathering "the stuff that dreams are
made or and. having completed her
task. is about TO vanish. Meanwhile
45.lS5 pounds of tobacco have passed
through her hands.
Yes. Nine. Clara Washington opp,
who more truly deserves the title than
all the Lady Nicotines Of all time, has
in less than two months obtained 9.OOO,-
600 cigarettes, packed them up, shipped
them off and is now about TO follow
where thev have gone.
Nine. Washington-Lopp was nurse
with the American Ambulance In PARIS
from the time OF its establishment last
August. For six weeks Of that time
she was at the front, doing hrst ard
work with her husband, e.. Washing

teercd az an ambulance driver.
At first they were at Namur, and
then we're transferred along the line
until at the end Of the six weeks they
had reached Havre. Thus they served
with the French, Belgian and British
armies.
She saw the pleasure that the wound
cd found In tobacco. Many a time she
heard her patients abandon the great
subject of conversation, les Boshes, as
they called the Germans. concerning
which there was too great unanimity
Of opinion to make r good argument,
and begin quarrelling in this way;
"Mv nurse is better than yours. She
has to-day given me a cigarette
SO she learned how important to-
bacco was 10 the wounded, and no"
rnuch more important to the soldier in
the trenches. who, with shells bursting
over him, must needs keep his nervous
system under control. And when she
and her husband had pushed on from
Namur TO Havre they took boat for
New York i'm quest of tobacco.
When madame's mission was learned
here friends of the Allies In all parts
Of America began to send her tobacco.

Nine WashingtonLopp, Who Was Nurse at Front Is Re
turning After Collecting a, l05 Pounds OF tobacco
for Soldiers Of Allies in Trenches.

She had come for large package Of II
to take back TO the trenches on her re-
turn. She was forced 10 send what she
received in two shipments on the Ro-
chambeau- the first aggregating 2l,0OO
pounds. the second 24.lS5. Her COM
mittee was her husband. She said she
needed no other committee, because
she knew what she wanted.
These shipments went 10 the
Figaro" and the "Matin." in Paris,
with instructions 10 give so per cent
TO the French soldiers. 10 per cent TO
the Bclgians and 10 per cent 90 the
British. The one hitch in the plan has
been that the French government de-
manded 10000 francs duty on the
first shipment aud 10000 francs on
the second, which went by the Rocnam-
beau last Wednesday.
The reason for this demand was that
only goods sent TO the Service de Sante
are permitted to pass free OF duty. But
everything going 10 the Service de
Sante is given TO the wounded. Ma
dame meant the tobacco for the active
soldiers and not for the wounded. "for."
she said. "the wounded are sheltered.
They have their beds, they have their
comforts. But in the trenches -ah,
no one is spoiled there, standing in the
straw"
Nine. Washington-Lopp does not
smoke, nor does Monsieur, her hus-
band. Still. has the Lady Nicotine Of
prose and poetry. 20 whom mas been
sung. MAY the last touch of my lips
be thine" ever surpassed the real Lady
Nicotine, who said:
1T might be the last-the last puff
the last inhale, and they will 90 70
heaven with that happiness. Many Of
them will probably have my cigarettes
In their lips when they are shot. That
is grand, that is immense-to think
that some, with tears in their eyes,
will be grateful TO me at the last!'
Lady Nicotine has finished her task
and will receive no more contributions
Of tobacco. She Wi return TO her
work on the firing line with the next
sailing Of the Rochambeau.
