She began a spirited con vetsation with the doctor. Yes. she admitted, the Americans were won Jerful and she talked of their art. their soldiers, authors. actresses and music. The doctor was much at tracted to the woman of wit and ready speech and told her of his am bitions and failures. He became so well acquainted in fact. that he Ven tured to ask if he might smoke. Yes, indeed" replied the gay creat- ure May l. toC?' For fraction of a second the man wavered, Certain ly,' ne replied without apparent pain.

The cigarette. so popular with the women of Paris for some time. has passed. Not that wave Of moral uplift has caught the fair buffers in its swirl; far from that, for smoking has become so fixed d habit that it is beyond the pale of the campaign. Like the backless evening gown the cigarette has been superseded by the later arrival Sh! say it not aloud. but milady now smokes a piEe!
 In the French capital, where wom- en have always done much as they please and cared little for the rant ing of refOrmers, the pipe habit has grown to an astonishing degree.

 The most popular models for wom- zen are srotesque in their carvings of Chinese reptiles and figures fires cCed in goldwork.
