Queens Who Smoke.

Queen Marguerite of Italy is one of the royal ladles who see no harm in the use of tobacco. She is much occupied with literature and is strongly addicted to the cigarette, which she smokes in the privacy of her room. Her flashing black eyes look laughingly through odorous clouds of smoke and she is wont to declare that her cigarette is more essential to her comfort than anything else in life. Christina, queen regent of Spain, consumes a large quantity of Egyptian cigarettes, and his little majesty, Alphonso XIII., enjoys lighting them for her.
