IHKllJg UUU U VJ^iU, ocuv* uyj lit* most killing smile and bow:“ ‘I have left my match safe in my stateroom. Won’t you be good onough to give me n light?*“She silently handed him her lighted cigarette. After lighting his cigar he returned her cigarette with expressions of his gratitude. She took the cigarette, tossed it overboard, left her seat and went to her stateroom without opening her lips to him. Of course his friends had the laugh on him, and all the women around who had witnessed the performance were charmed with the girl. I afterword loarned that she was fond of tobacco, but made deathly sick by the odor of stole smoke, and so for that reason she did not smoko in the privacy of her own room.“For myself I always smoko after dinner, and when I’m at home a pipe. Of course during the day, when inclined, I smoke just about as men do, sometimes one pipeful, sometimes several. I can think better when smoking, and also it rests me. Now, my friends, as a rule, smoke merely to be sociable. They take a cigar or cigarette at a dinner or luncheon where they are handed around after the coffee or when paying a social call. Somehow, we all imagine we talk more easily while smoking. But none of these girls miss her smoke when she is prevented from taking it, nor does she over smoke when alone. Not so with the women who love the weed itself. They become irritable and as cross as bears when forced to do without it. As I have a smoking room, I try always to keep it supplied with the latest goods.“My pipe—that is, my favorite pipe, for I really have pipes by the dozen—was given mo by my eldest brother and has his face out into the bowl. You see how beautifully it is colored, and I have only been smoking it a few months. The best meorschaura has a clouded, dirty appearance. It appears to have pores in it, and is creamy in color. The white kind, that which looks like chalk, is very objectionable. That was tbo kind I first picked out, and I can remember my brothers laughed at me.“Cigarette holders are to be had all the way from these cheap but dainty looking little a flairs of papier macho, with quill mouthpieces, to the most expensive ones of gold or silver mounted amber. The latest are of silver filagree with amber mouthpieces. You see they nro very like-cigar holders, only much smaller. As I have some friends who object to touching their cigarettes and cigars with their fingers I bought a lot of these little holders. They are the latest out and are made so that the little gold or silver rir*r may be slipi*d on the finger and by simply pressing a spring the nippers will open and close around the cigurette. They nro very convenient little affairs, especially when one is playing cards.0Of course, you know that very few women now like to smoke ready filled cigarettes, and as 6ome of them object to touching the tobacco I bought a little imported machine which fills them very rapidly. All you have to do is to put the tobacco in this little box, slip in the cigarette paper tubes, turn the handle and your cigarette comes out perfectly filled.“Many women who fill their own cigarettes have thoir papers stamped with their monogrnm in silver or gold. Some of them have the ends tipped. Almost any of the shops that make a specialty of keeping women’s smoking materials have this stamping done at a very slight extra cost on the thousand Slips. Some of my friends prefer white rice paper, while others prefer the corn paper, which is a delicate shade of yellow. Some girls contend that fancy paper has nothing to do with the ilavor of a cigarotto and insist on using tho margin of newspapers or any soft paper that comes to hand. Of course, beautiful cigarettes may be bought already filled with any and all brands of tobacco, but they aro not nearly 60 good as those wo roll. Some girls touch tho odgo of tho paper with their tongues to make them adhere, while others simply bend up tho ends.“Tho majority of women—I’m sure all my friends do—prefer mild Turkish tobacco! Soim*Mre fond of the long out, others of the short cut. For my own use I like both, the short cut for my pipe, the long cut for my cigarettes, and I don't allow any one to handle it either. I don’t care to have the «Jireds disturbed. One good point about the mild - Turkish tobacco is that it has less nicctine than any other kind. 1 have been told that it contained opium, and maybe it does, for it is certainly soothing, flod I would forgive my worst enemy after my second pipe. But, as I said before, I belong to the class who Anoke for the love of it. Those who smoke only to be sociable do not as a rule experience any such effects. They do it siTflply because others around them do. As to tho third class, the girls who wish to appear sporty, they use it only as a means to attract attention, and I doubt very much whether they ever give the flavor of their cigarettes a second thought”ful creature s« riod of J2 yea saved tho live His zeal was custom after out by himsel He would ru of his lungs, breath, when the snow fron No place w; venture into, sometimes dilt; insufficient tc eler benumbe mediatoly hu the monks.One day Bf parently to de Dronaz and t began at onct cooded by thii tion he indult; his body.
