If B had held as many as five

a possible trick in diamonds, in

Advice for

A Question of Cigarettes

"A question or cigarettes
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My husband is opposed to my
smoking cigarettes. We have
only been married a short time
and I smoked continuously, to
his knowledge, before was
married.
I can see his point of view,
which is he would not like to
have me smoke in front of our
children, but as e have no
children and do not intend to
have any for some time, I do
not see any harm in smoking.
Please advise me as the problem
is causing us many quarrelS.

to certain things after marriage
that they appeared to take as
a matter of course before. But

isn't it that your husband IS
just trying to take better care
of your health and nerves in
attempting to wean you from
the weed? For you must know
that to smoke continuously"

don't you try to compromise
your difference in regard to
cigarettes? You might begin
by cutting down to one, after
