Ia ss. There has been no place that
women could smoke and talk and
rest as men do. II IS only fair that
they should have one. Women have
their political Clubs-why not their
smoking rooms? SO we started this
shop. But we expect to have a
chain OF smoke shops to extend
across the country before hng
There are just as many women In

Don't Like Cigar storcs.i
Then, too. there's no place where
woman can buy cigarets without
getting cynical looks from the men.
The cigar store crowds always laugh
when a woman buys cigarets. w
carry all brands, an they can pick
the kind they like best"
In the shop some women were
taking their clgarets raw, others
had cigaret holders ranging in
styles from ivory, with emerald tips,
TO the collapHble sort that fold up
and tit into a little pendant case
hanging on a chain about the neck.
Cigarets were produced from cases
OF gold. silk and whalebore, and
there were even some OF the less
fastidious who carried them In the
packages IN which they came.
1T isn't really a new idea" Miss
Douglass went on between puffs.
Paris and all the gay cities OF
France have had them for years
and London has its smoke shops

women are just coming into their
