smoking and the dear young
things go right on putting.
There are some oldfashioned
mothers and grandmothers who
hold up their hands in horror at the
suggestion Of a smoke; while 9th
ers keep father wearing his shoes
out hiking to the corner smoke
shop.
Some old fogies don't like the
odor of tobacco smoke on the
breath of their wives, daughters or
sweethearts; others get sore if the
ladies don't join them in whiting
the weed.
In the meantime the tobacco deal
ers are declaring enormous divi-
dends, while every tea.room, res
taurant, drawing room, boudoir and
limousine smells like a joss house.
Two Wellesley College girls,
caught by the house-mother smok-
ing, announced their determination
to leave, as a protest against the
narrow minded idea that a woman
should not smoke. They declared
Indignantly that their indulgence
in the weed was big Improvement
over the pipe-smoking of women in
the early days.
There is no denying the fact that
in the early fifties, particularly in
the rural districts, the incessant
smoking by women wasn't very
attractive habit. They didn't smoke
the dainty cigarette then; it was a
corncob pipe, usually mellowed
with age, with a real "kick" to it.
In those early days in the Hoosier
country of Indiana, the favorite in
door sport was to gather about the
big log fire, and, while discussing
the weather, crops and neighbors,
load up the old corncob and start
the burley-barrage No wonder the
rustic fappers of those days took
to nicotine! Mother couldn't very
well forbid daughter the solace of
a pipe when she set the pace her
self.
No flapper on the screen is COM
plete without the ubiquitous Gig
arctic. But a woman smoking

4 WOMAN is only woman, but
"A good cigar is smoke, -
said some sage who knew thing
or two.
But the modern flapper can give
this wise man cards and spades
and still beat him at the smoking
game"
The girl Of today has taken to
the soothing weed with a gusto that
makes Sir Walter Raleigh turn over
in his grave with chagrin. In "deah
old Lunnon" the frail sex have gone
their American cousins one better,
discarding the seductive cigarette
for the more robust pipe Gave
you the makin's, old deah," has
been revised, along Piccadilly and
the Strand, to: pass me your to-
bacco-pouch, old thing"
It is not at all improbable that
the New York f1apper will soon fol-
low the lead of her London proto-
type and take to strolling down
Fifth Avenue while nonchalantly
pulling on an old briar.
And why shouldn't she? Didn't
her grandmother and great-grand-
mother smoke a pipe back in the
old log house in Indiana, or Ken
lucky or Illinois?
Wherefore, we ask, should the
girl of today be made the target of
criticism by those crepe-hangers
who prohibit everything, from the
oxhilarating cocktail to the social
cardparty? Isn't she Following a
precedent set by the 'old fashioned
woman" who is being held up as a
shining example to the rising gen
Grafton?
The fapper of today is simply re-
verting to type, and at the same
time asserting her right to do any
thing a man does without being
criticised.
A great deal OF discussion has
been indulged in Of late years by
moralists, teachers, reformers, doc.
tors, fappers, grandmothers, and
others, on the subject of women
