Perhaps they do now; but it is a notorious fact that men smoke in the presence of women without so much as saying "By your leave?” Possibly the changed custom has arisen from the fact that in the circles of wealth and fashion women have become inveterate smokers, and their male associates know it. Still, so long as there are refined and sensitive women to whom tobacco is offensive it would seem to be the part of good manners for the smoker to use discretion as to the place of enjoying his weed. —South Bend Times.
