This Duchess Doesn't
Like American Food

PARIS.-American food, as served
In restaurants in that country, did
not favorably impress the Duchess
Of Clermont-Tonnerr who visited
the United States last autumn and
mas written a book on her trip.
Americans do not look on eating Sc
rlously enough. American foods that
appear to have made an appeal to
the duchess were red bananas, Call
Tornla apples and oranges and 'hams
of Virginia.
"One must admit she says in
her book, that food in America is
not good. To a Frenchman, the WORD
meal cannot be applied to the bolt
Ing down of a club sandwich in five
or SIX bites while standing before a
luncheon bar. The necessity of eat
Ing seems to have become for Amer;-
leans a sort of monotonous and oblig-
atory annoyance, and they are bend
ing al endeavorS toward simplify
ing the performance"
The duchess says "she is unable
to comprehend why an American
should require less time for his
whole luncheon than one Of her coun-
trymen needs merely to scan the
wine list" and continues:
American butter is poor and
American cheese cannot be eaten.
American chickens are emaciated
and scrawny, and one has the feel
ing that it is cruelty to put knife
into them. All American dishes
have passed through cold storage
and, are insipid.'

SMOKING AMONG BRITISH WOMEN
SHOWS ASTO NISFiING INCREASE

learned the habit when they began to
make pin money for themselves.
When they made q good wage at mu-
nitions or clerl1ing they took to the
habit and it grew upon them. 1t is
curious fact that most of our lady
customers prefer Turkish or EgyD-
tian cigarettes to Virginian ones.
Some ladies go through 200 to 400
cigarettes week. / do not say they
smoke them all. If they did they
would be i'll. They buy that quanti-
ty and, of course, hand them out to
all their friends
War Blamed for Increase
Inquiries in other directions
brought similar answers, but there
was one difference. Another manu-
facturer believed that the increase
in smoking was caused largely be-
cause the men had returned and they
had returned with great smoking APP
petiteS than they went away with. In
the army they were smoking all the
time when they were off duty. They
may have gone through one ounce
a week before the war for every three
or four ounces they go through now.
On the other hand, this manufacturer
among women, though very excep-
tiona1, was to be reckoned with.
YES" he said, there are ladies Of
good homes and women of lesser
ECmeS VINO smoke pipes. For one In
the West End L make up a special
mixture of light, fine tobacco, more
like cigarette tobacco than any 9TH
err. She smokes this in a beautiful
II. eerschaum pipe specially made for
her. 1t is small, dainty and not Of
fensive looking.
1.-The reason this lady smokes a
pipe is that she found she could not
smoke cigarettes without inhaling;
and she did want to smoke. So now
she takes the smoke through a pipe
and the temptation to inhale is re-
duced."
On all hands every tobacco manu-
facturer admits that smoking among
women may be heavy and may be in
creasing as they say, but the women
who smoke to any extent are the
more light hearted, the more frivo-
louS, the more. blase among women.
Many years ago it was thought by
the medical profession that smoking
was more hadmful to men than to
women.
Now the medical profession, wit
that rare ability and bravery to de-
clare the truth which the profession
has always shown, even if it meant
the departure from recognized tenet
of the medical faith, declare that
smoking is more harmful to women
than to men. So women can take
their choice.

Girl Is Burned to Death Under
Auto; Companions Flee at Sight

Mrs. Helen Brogley, nineteen, a
waitress who had gone in for a night
of hilarity "to forget things" paid
with her life for the ''date" she and
another woman had kept with two
men in borrowed automobile.
Amid the smouldering debris of the
overturned car in Elmhurst, l.. l.,
| was found the girls charred body.
Stories told by witnesses differ ma
| terially from those of survivors,
| throwing about the accident a mys-
terry the police have not entirely
| solved.
One Man Has Disappeared
One of the men, Walter Flanagan,
twenty-five, an automobile mechanic
| of No. PIG Greenpoint avenue, Bliss
| vile, Long Island City, is missing.
The other, John DAILY, twenty-four, a
granite cutter, of No. "a Van Pelt
street, Blissville, who operated the
car, is under arrest on charges of
driving without a license and run
ming away from an accident without
reporting his name and address.
The surviving woman, also a wait
ress, is Mrs. Freda Bartel, twenty
Newark.
Mrs. Bartel and Daily insist they
7 did not know that Mrs. Brogley was
under the war, but thought she had
lICu' oIIleIS, however, assert CnaL
they abandoned the woman who was
burned to death.
From the tangle of conflicting evil
dence, these facts have been devel-
oped: Mrs. Brogley, who worked
under the name of Helen Murray,
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Williamson, of No. II Chad
wick avenue, Newark. She was mar
ried in February, 1919, to Milton J.
Brogleey, of No. 432 High street,
Newark.
Left Husband Two Months Ago
A domestic squabble two months
ago led her to leave Brogley. She
hired a furnished room at No. 1853
Washington street, Newark, and OBJ
tanned employment ina cafeteria in
Cedar street, the same city.
To Mrs Bartel. with whom shc
became acquainted a few weeks ago
she vas known as Helen Murray.
Mrs. Bartel is employed at a wilt
ress in cafeteria in Court street,
Brooklyn.

LONDoN:-The chancellor of the
speech noted an astonishing in
crease in smoking. This has set
people seriously inquiring about the
matter. Most of the large tobacco
view in THE Globe blame the Wom-
en- for this state of affairs. The gist
of the observations of this recent
article purports to prove that the
astonishing increase is among wom-
en-, that even pipes are now used by
the feminine devoteeS, and by way
of extenuating circumstances states
that the women learned the habit dur
ing the war. Also that men acquired
greater smoking habits during the
war.
1.-The Manchester Guardian" edi-
torializes this morning on 1.-THE Tri-
umphant Smoker" After stating that
the railways have announced many
more smoking compartments for the
spring traveller, it attributes this to
bad manners rather than increase in
the smoking habit, and the indulgence
of soldiers during the war in smok-
ing in nonsmoking compartments
something more to be regretted than
welcomed. Every authentic apollo
gist for tobacco--Kingsley, Calver-
ley, StevenSon-haS stressed the
soothing and consoling influence of
his indulgence" says 'The Guard
ian" Where are it's present mani
festations? The chancellor of the
excheQuer says we all smoke, and
we will smoke more; the champions
of tobacco proclaim it as the SOW
ereign remedy against spleen, and
yet the nations at large rage as furi-
ously as the heather. Somebody's
theory wants overhauling."
Habit Grows Among Women
But no matter how people bemoan
the situation, it exists in England.
and the chancellor stated an inds-
putable truth when he noted the as
tonishing increase in smoking No
where can you go without seeing
smoking. ''Smoking," said a Lon
don tobacco manufacturer, in "The
Globe, lis not only largely INDUCED
in among women, but l confess that
it is increasing ton an extent which
in England.
1--WE can trace the increase very
easily. II is to be found in our ac-
count books. Through the counting
house we find the smoking pulse of
England, and it is undoubted that
women learned to smoke during the
war. Yet it is also a fact that dur
ing the war and since there also has
beep a great Increase among the
ladies of leisure.
