seems to be on the increase among
London women and fashionable cigar
stores display dainty small briars,
some set with precious stones. 1t is

At one west London theatre where
smoking, is permitted, two snartly
dressed women were seen the other
evening in box putting at their
jewelled pipes, and soon an old Irish
woman in the gallery followed suit.
Hers was a clay equity"
In first-class railroad car between
Hcrsham and London, quarrel arose
the other day between a number Of
non-smoking women and another wom-
an who refused to put out her cigar
cite at her sister travellers behest. 1t
ended in enc o. the anti-smokers seiz-
ing the offending cigarette, gold
mounted tortoseshell holder and all,
and flinging it out OF the window.
Two guineas costs will meet the

Pope PATRON OF ART;
QUADR0NI, SCULPTOR,
UNDER HIS ORDERS

ROME, Nov. 6.-Although the pOpes
of today cannot afford to spend enof-
nous sums ON artists, sculptors and
decora tors as did the pontiffs OF the
renaissance, Benedict XIV is patron
Of the arts, and has allowed two art
lists to have studios and work on the
grounds of the Vatican. They are
Quadroni, the sculptor. who at the
POpes expense is modelling a more
than life-siZe statue of the Cardinal
Rampolla for his monument in the
Church of Santa Cacilia and the art
list Antonelli. who is painting a huge
picture of the PRONUNCIATION of the CO.
deX of canon law.
The picture of Benedict XIV seated
on throne, receiving from his CO.
worker, Cardinal Gasparri, the vol
umes containing the newly codified
canon law, represents 50 figures, all
portraits of the ecclesiastic and lay
court of the pontiff. There are to be
seen 10 cardinals, the Pope's Majordo-
mo, Monsignor Tacci; his Master of
the Chamber, Monsignor de Sampler;
the Grand Marshals, who have charge
of great Vatican ceremonies and wear
the picturesque renaissance dress OF
ruff and dOublet; the commanders OF
the Noble Guard, the Swiss Guard,
and many others, so the picture will
have considerable historic interest In
the future.
Shows Past Popes.
Round the enormous frame there
are portraits of past popes who have
specially interested themselves in the
codification of the canon law, Plus X,
BOnilace VIII, Innocent III, Alexander

hind it. The monument will eventu-
ally be placed in the Basilica of Santa
Cecilia in Trastevere. which was Car

lower part of which he restored gor-
geOusly in 1901.
Benedict XIV frequently visits the
studios of both these artists, advising
with them as to the work which they
are carrying out for him.
