Why do
 women like
 pipe smokers?'

We asked many women. One said: Because man who thinks things out, does them and goes all the way through with anything he starts gen. orally smokes a pipe if he smokes at all-and nearly always he does smoke"
 Another replied: CA pipe smoker is more of home man, it seems to me. There is no better picture of content ment than a man smoking a pipe in his home after the days work is done"
 "He is more honest, more reliable, more manly" said another-but she was rather young.
 "Pipe-smokers are not so jumpy and fdgety, so nervous as non-smok- CTS. They're more easily contented,", was the opinion of one woman.
 There were many reasons given by the fair ladies; some of them not very powerful from a logical viewpoint. The significant feature of the ques- tionnaire was that the great majority of the women admitted that they do like pipe smokers.
 And just to show that woman is not the only illogical of the two sexes, we asked number of men why they liked the tobacco they smoked. One said it was strong enough for him. Another said it was mild enough for him-and they were smoking the same brand. All of them had some more-or-less indefinite reason for lik- ing a certain tobacco, but putting that
