he summarily dismissed court, in order

Woman Smokers in Wales.

! A woman was seen smoking a pipe
in Swansea by-street the other day,
and seemed to be enjoying it hugely (;
of course. this is not quite new
thing. Some old ladies, especially Of
Irish extraction, have enjoyed their
weed in that way for many years past.
But it was the way in which this was
done which surprised the public. As q
matter Of fact, in London some women
have gone in for cigarettes and pipes
in their homes and in the woman's
clubs there is rule that pipes are not
permitted has been quietly rescinded
in favor Of the male visitors, who now
smoke vigorously without complaint.
