# YOU DO-well. aside from the ques-
ton OF convention involved be care
full that smoking does not ruin your
health. If you don't-well, it is a
good habit not to acquire.
Morals as well as convention. is
much a question Of geography. 1t is
nothing cut Of the way to see women
smoking in New York. Even in the
finest restaurants, Sherry's on Fifth
Avenue. for instance. the women sit
at tea by the open windows, the
smoke from their cigarettes, in price
less ivory and jeweled holders. float
ing out across the pavements. In
many places 1t is the exception to
find woman who doesn't smoke
In the south and the west, a woman
who smokes is socially ostracized;
her reputation goes at the first puff
Of her cigarette. Yet some OF the
finest women know smoke. many of
them are mothers of devoted fami-
lies. all are hard workers. highly in
telligent, thoroughly charming.
Yet / advise women against 1t. It
is a needless habit, so why acquire
it? A woman does look charming
with the tiny white stick in her fin
gers, the smoke curling daintily from
its tip-but she will look equally
charming in hundreds of other poses.
II she inhales, the smoke will dry her
lungs, faint the blood. tend to make
the skin gray and drawn. It will
stain her fingers a bright yellow, the
odor Of the smoke will cling to her
clothes, getting unpleasant as it gets
staler-
Some men like TO see women
smoke, most Of them do not, how
ever, and whether or not their views
are just. we must observe even the
conventions we criticize most severe
". Be liberal-minded, and do not
condemn the woman who smokes
but don't do it yourself.

people to our daily life and 10 the un-

enable future generations to see In full
Ire and movement some OF the greatest
events of the days which have lorg ago
siipped on the calendar.
The misuse OF thi- tremendous inyen-
ton, however. can unfortunately he seen
an over the world. Men of capital have
stepped In where others had not made
up their minds to tread and exploited
moving pictures with only one idea, that
OF making morey at any price. and they
nave done so for the most part in a way
which has lowered the value OF the in
Nention by catering TO all that is super
hcial and u~nenlightened, un~imagirstive
and u~ninepired In the people who have
been attracted. Everywhere there have
sprung up film producing companies
which Put out nothing but vulgar knock
ABOUT pictures, melodramas and sensa-
