In New York

NEW YORK. Oct. 9.—There still are many who find It difficult to condone smoking by women, or to accept the fact that quite as many women smoke today as men. In New York the way has been paved so well that, almost any day, i girls can go puffing their cigarets down the main thoroughfares without attracting much attention from native,?. Between aett of theaters scores of women pace the sidewalks with male companions—all smoking. And the other day wh n a surging crowd jammed Pennsylvania station waiting the Philadelphia fight trains, I counted two women smokers to every man. They perched upon suitcases, upon stairways and railings, puffing casually, to the utter amazement of late arrivals from other communities. • • • With the “habit” now reduced to a commonplace, some of the adventures of pioneer women smokers now become amusing reminiscences. Thus there was a young woman beginning her career as a writer was was offered and editorship of a leading national magazine some years ago. She took the job and, walking Into her office, took out a cigaret and lighted it. A short time later the ‘boss” walked in. He bluntly stated that he wouldn't tolerate It The new editor explained that she liked to smoke when she worked, and saw no reason why she shouldn't. With which she walked out of the place. Therewith she set forth to write fiction and today is one of America’s most popular woman writers. The woman In the case. I am told, is none other than Mary Roberts Rinehart. And the man, so goe? the tale, was the famous Edward Bok. • • • A volue of several millions Is placed upon a collection of stamps exhibited at Grand Central Palace in connection with a collectors' convention. The stamp hobby Is hy no means confined to the small boys of the lard. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is creditc with an assortment, the value of ..ch Is not known, but to which he gives much spare time and attention. Stein way, the piano man. has a collection valued at $1,000,000 and there are Innumerable others. In New York there Is a broker in rare stamps who thanks these little mediums of postage for his present wealth. On three occasions he lost fortunes In other professions and each time was saved through dealings In stamps. They are not to him a hobby, but an Investment. He holds them for fancy prices as real estate dealers hold property that one day will be valuable or as antique dealers treasure old jewels. • • * Those trick lighters may or may not work when you want them to but they're In great demand among late theater arrivals who. because of the darkness of the house, can not read their programs. So prevalent has the custom become that Investigation Is being made as to whether this is a violation of theater fire laws.
