PIPES FOR WOMEN
HAVE COME TO TOWN
DAINTY SMOKING EVICE S
HAVE STEMS OF IVORY, BUT
BUYERS ARE WANTING,

Yes, they've arrived in Baltimore,
and one may see the modest little
sign advertising the fact at one OF the
Charles street shops over the counter
devoted to smokers supplies, says the
Baltimore Sun.
There have been rumors that Mary
Belle has smoked a pipe ever since
she returned from Paris last summer.
But. if this be true, Mary Belle has in
dulged in the pipe in the privacy OF
her boudoir Also she has purchased
her pipe while abroad-for while the
pipes have arrived in Baltimore the
custodian OF the counter declared that
nary a Baltimore girl, to date had
bought one Of these pipes.
"A couple of our masculine custo-
mers buying tobacco rveently have
impaired the information that their
wives smoke pipes; so we expect that
the lad that has been so popular in
London and Paris-particularly Paris
will extend soon to Baltimore. At
any rate, we are ready to supply any
demand that may arise
Not Like "Corncobs."
The small, dainty and decidedly
Sporty" looking pipe that is designed
for feminine use has little relationship
to the "corncob" that grandmothers-
or t-grandmothers-of some OF
the best families were supposed to
have smoked in days gone by.
The modern pipe usually has stem
OF ivory, with gold mounting, and

line is graceful
SO these new pipes are waiting, ar
tistica1ly displayed, for feminine pur-
chasers. Perhaps a pipe will be one
of the things that Mary Belle will find
in her dainty silk stocking when she
awakes on Christmas morning.
women Smoking More"
"Then. there's no truth in the state
ment that women are impressed with
the statement OF the Viennese doctor
who says that smoking will make
them masculine and are giving up the
weed?" was asked the one who is Of
fering the pipes to women
"On the contrary, women are now
smoking more than ever. We always
find that in the autumn, when the
travellers are returning from abroad,
there is an increased demand for CT
garettes the result, | suppose, OF the
fact that on the other side women are
nveterate smokers.
Then. the age at which a young
girl begins to smoke is growing ear
Ter Time was when if Johnny sneak
ed behind the barn and took few
puffs OF a cigarette before the was Il
years old his paternal parent gave
him a good cowhiding. Today John
ny's sister often begins to smoke when
she is 10 years old.
DO her parents know she does it?
That's something | can't tell. All |
know is that she smokes.
Want Cigarettes Strong.
women are growing to like, also,
the average American-made cigarette;
in other words, they are smoking just
like a man. When they begin to
smoke they wanted dainty little CT
garettes or scented smokes. Now they
practically have settled down to smok
ing.
I'm fact one singular thing that |
have noticed is that women are the
ones who demand the strong cigar
cites. Sometimes | wonder whether
they have stronger constructed Threats
than the men have.
The woman who starts to smoke
abroad usually will ask for a special
brand OF fancy cigarette to which she
has become accustomed while on the
other side; but if we don't happen to
have her particular brand in stock,
and have to send for it, nine times
out OF ten she will become accustom-
ed to the American tobacco and when
her order arrives she won't want it at
all
women are not using holders so
much. either. Occasionally one wants
holder because it looks sporty, but
the woman smoker evidently wants
TIE cigarette.
"When a woman buys a fancy hold
er or a bright-tinted cigarette it's
pretty safe wager that she's using it
at bridge to harmonic with the deco
rations or something like that. She
isn't buying the things for herself
When she lays in her stock OF cigar
cites she gets good, strong Amerl-
can tobacco.
Humidors and Trays.
But the woman smoker is making
an impression upon the output OF ar
ticles intended to please the devotees
OF Lady Nicotine.
For instance, there is the lovely lit
tie Swiss music box in the form OF a
humidor. When the box is opened for
the far lady to take cigarette the
little tinkling tune is started automat-
ically. Ii is a very1 dainty, sweet &C
compartment to blowing rings.
There are ash trays in charming
glazed effects, and with cigarette hold
ers to match They are of the rain
bow colors or in more somber hue,
tinted to suit every taste.
There is a brisk sale reported for
these things and for the dainty cigar
cite boxes in Japanese silver, or Chi
nese beaten brass in addition to the
various attractive woods that are used
in these little chests.
So far, however there is no hostess
in Baltimore, it seems, who is suffi-
GENTLY progressive to initiate her
Partisan sister by putting little pipe.
