A FEMININE SMOKE SHOP.
A Place for INDUCING in Social Gig
arctic Over the Tea Cups.

In both Paris and London there are
fashionable smoke houses where mi-
lady may indulge in a social cigarette
and bit Of gossip over the tea cups.
But the first of its kind i'm America
opened in New York last week, says
the Dry Goods Economist.
1t is an accepted fact that an in
creasing number Of women are smok-
ing. There is not single indication Of
adjustment of the habit. In fact in
New York it is no longer looked upon
as fad, but as a fact just as smoking
by men.
The promoters of the Lady Mic are
planning series of these shops in yari-
Gus large cities, the second to be opened
in Washington at an early date.
In those sections of the country
where women smoke in large numbers,
department store early birds may find
il worth while to investigate the Lady
Mic idea and maybe find little corner
in their own stores where the smoke
shop idea may be installed

it is devoted mainly to the needs of the
adherents of Lady Me The decoration
scheme is purely Chinese, tn e color
notes being being lacquer red and gray.
Couches. divans, easy chairs, foot rests
and cushions are scattered about
luxuriously, while shaking stands and
tea tables are drawn conyenieutlyn ear
the guests elbow.
Besides smoking apparata which lave
the last word in all that is chic, many
imported novelties such as bags, fans
and toilet accessories are on sale.
The shop is not only exceedingly
smart, having been adopted by New
Yorks smart social set, but so far has
done wonderful business. early re-
suits having already demonstrated its
success even beyond the dreams Of Mrs.
Cassidy and Miss Douglass, the two
charming young women who have II in

THE ARMS CONFERENCE.

well done win be written after
the results OF the armament CONFER
ence in Washington. Perhaps it was
not the best that could be done by hu-
man beings, but it undoubtedly was
the best that could be done under the
present mental status of human be-
ings the world over. Agreement by the
leading naval powers of the world to
reduce their naval ornaments and to
curtail the building OF monster fleet
was in itself great accomplishment,
while the partial freeing OF China from
the domination Of various other ma
tons was an important step in he
right direction. These were two OF the
major things accomplished by the con
ference, and they were well worth the
coming together Of the nine nations
from various parts of the world. In
setting the conference agoing, Presi-
dent Harding and his advisers Of the
United States government are to be
given credit for initiating world
movement that seems likely to bear
fruit in far more stable conditions Of
peace than have obtained for centuries,
possibly since the time when the ami
mosities and rivalries of nations were
first developed in force 1t is not TO
be expected that the initial conference
in Washington will result in abolish
ing all wars but it certainly furnishes
the foundation on which structure
of world peace can be established; and
if the nations involved are persistent
in carrying out the ideas there evolved
they win aid very greatly in bringing
about that peace which nearly every
ono 80 earnestly desires. The Wash
ington conference did splendid thing.

their textual completeness. All that
has been accomplished lies open to the
world To which of the important
aehievents win the first place be
given in popular estimationg There il
something which takes precedence OF
our choice of any of them. 1t is the
spirit which made them possible. Secre-
tary Hughes struck the dominant note
in the harmonious proceedings when he
said 1.-THE best thing about this con-
ference is the spirit which has been
manifested throughout the negotia-
tons" In every discussion there was
gratifying proof that the representa-
tives of the nations were animated by
the spirit in which the American plan
for limitation OF ornaments was pro.
posed and received at the opening SEES
sion.
The program then submitted and The
manner OF its submission deeply i'm
pressed the assembled delegates with
its unselfshness and sincerity, even
more than with the boldness of its con
eeption and the practical character of
its suggested methods. That impres.
sion became permanent. 1t was verified
at every meeting The readiness Of the
United States to set the example Of an
immense sacrifice of armament for the
worlds welfare stood the test in every
phase of the various debates. Doubts
and suspicious vanished. Our candor
was obvious. our honesty manifest, and
our good will generator Of good will
in the minds of all.
The Harding spirit, the spirit Of
Hughes and Root, OF Lodge and Under
wood, convinced the foreign delegates
that Americas naturalization of the
treaty OF Versailles and non -participa
ton in the league of nations did not
mean that we were cold to friendly CO.
operation or Indifferent to the mainte-
nance OF the liberty and peace for which
our soldiers crossed the seas and
watered with their blood the fields Of
France and Flanders. And, once con-
WINGED the representatives, OF the
invited nations joined our representa-
tives most heartily in the endeavor to
limit the huge machinery of armament
to tighten the crushing loads OF taxa
ton, and to establish the reign of
righteousness, more particularly IN the
lar east.
There will be at least fifteen years
of relief from the burden and peril of
competitive battleship building, there
viii be cessation of the construction OF
challenging fortnesses ON the islands Of
the Pacific, and there win be even res
titution to China of territories that
other nations have occupied. Thus
the new international spirit expresses
itself Everything it means to do IL
the result Of a unanimous decision.
Friendship is written into every treaty.
And 50 the conference appears to sum
up the fruits of its labors in words that
resemble the traditianal proclamation
OF the Christmas angels: On earth peace
through good will among the nations

close to the stove and radiator in the

It's about guy that dropped
into a beanery to eat. and after
sitting at the table and looking all
over for q bill OF fare, was told by
the waiter they didn't have any
bill of fare.
Look at the tablecloth and you
can see what we have today.
Cherry pie, bean soup, red beets,"
and so on.
The guy ordered from the stains
on the tablecloth and then he sat
around waiting for the tray toter
to bring him his check. But the
waiter said they don't have any
checks, and the guy asked how he
was going to pay his bill II he
didn't give him a check, and the
waiter said:

and vest and he can tell what
you've had"
