SMOKING

So States a Boston Clergyman Who Says If a Woman Wants to Smoke She Has As Much Right to Do So In Public As a Man. The Other Fellow's Stories.

BY E8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. "And then," said Sal, "there is the person who repeats himself." "A mighty army," grinned the cynic. "And yet nobody thinks they do," replied Sal. "T hey deny it yes even blasphemously," cried the cynic, waving his cigarette. "Sometimes." deployed Sal, "I don't care much for the cloth. But the other day one of 'em said something safe and sane." "Apropos?" "It, was from a Boston pulpit," replied Sal, "maybe not a pulpit, but from Boston, came the pronunciamento. Tour cigarette made me think if it," she added. "If it's only my cigarette make3 you think " "Don't be silly," interpolated Sal. "Silly!" exclaimed the cynic. "When maybe I was trying to be sarcastic." "Never try to be sarcastic," returned SaL "Sarcasm is a gift like playing the piano or painting a picture, You can do it anyway. If you can't, no matter how hard you try, you can't." "Brief if not lucid," interrupted the cynic"Well, - it's the truth," said Sal. "Being sarcastic is a quality just like the color of your eyes or the contour of your ears. It belongs to you. You can't acquire it." "I wish I could acquire a contour to my ear," grinned the cynic. "Ear are funny things," said Sal. "Very few people have pretty ears ears aren't pretty anyway. But if women only knew it, the best thing they cmn do Is to pull their hair over "And sometimes hide a rosy little r." smiled the cynic. "feth!" said Sal, "only babies have roiy Itttle ears. Poets write about "tern, but Fd bet my best hat very few noats ever saw any." : "Poets," she went on, "always have mtflb funny looking wives." Tw noticed a disposition on the part of poets myself," said the cynic, "to select unpoetic looking females for helpmeets." "They always look so sloppy," cried Sal. "Why do poet's wives always look like their clothes bad been pitched on with a - hay-fork?'.' "Well, there are mitigating . circumstances,'' said the cynic. "Poet's wives generally have to get up and make the fires and cook the breakfast and. turn their last winter's hat. Inside out and all that," he added -vaguely. "Have some consideration for the poor poet's wife. She " doubtless would like to pull her hair over' her ears -but she hasn't time." "No. iiicJlnaloa,:iadat.ial4 the Tod shock' me. Sal dear," cried the toynlc, with ' these ' unladylike' inter- , "No I don't " aald Sal.: ? You -like i to hear me; dotL Besides .what's.so unladylike about referring to the devil i don't we ; hear all about i him 'at church ? ' 'h , v : " J "There, are . times and places and them some," returned the cynic. "The ! devil has' no place in a school-teacher's iYpeabulary," he grinningly added, j "Dont throw It at me," cried Sal. "It's just as respectable to be a uchool j teacher as as " I "I do so like the way you keep to the point," finished the cynic. "Well, the clergyman did say something sensible about women's smoking;'' said Sal. "He said smoking was non-moral. That Is, it had nothing to do with morals," explained Sal, In her best school ma'amlsh manner. ' Thanks!' said the oynic. "Tour sarcasm, I must confess, is naftre, not acquired," returned Sal. '"But you know I thought that was the best thing I'd heard for a long time. This clergyman went on to say that be 'wouldn't think of remonstrating with a woman, for' smoking a cigarette any more than he would for .drinking coffee, or the way she did Iter hair." "Ha said It was a personal matter and he would regard it as an impertinenoe to interfere In his clerical capacity." "Bully for the cloth!" exclaimed the cynic , "Now if he'd only issue another edict upon the sanity of the cocktail" "That's quite another- thing," cried Sal. "Cocktails are different." "Very different," grinned the cynic. "Cocktails are bad for the digestion," said Sal severely. "Besides having an injurious effect upon the mentality of the drinker." "In other words it's all right for you to smoke a cigarette if you want to, but It's Injurious and immoral for me to imbibe a cocktail." "I didnt say that." "No I said it. Said it for you. Which goes to show how our auras dovetail . together. It's what you meant and I got it from your sub-conscious mind before you could voice it with your lips." "I am not interested in all that stuff." said SaL "But I must say I'd like to know that clergyman. What he said was true enough that is. that smoking is non-moral. And there Is no earthly reason why women shouldn't, smoke if men do." "None whatever," agreed the cynic. "Liberty, equality, fraternity I'm for It!" J Good Horses I t and Fresh Cows ! Caskey's Sale !

NON - MORAL

"I know lots of women right in this town that smoke cigarettes," said SaL "And they are just as nice as anybody else and a good deal nicer. They have perfectly good health and nice complexions and aren't a bit ashamed of smoking only they don't do it in public because they know public opinion is debased." "Well that's a nice little oration," said the cynic, " and now let's get round to the people who repeat themselves." "I've a notion to stop right here," said Sal. "I don't permit you to remind me that maybe I'm a bore." "A bore!" cried the cynic. "My Sal a bore? Never never! Thou ever willfully misenterpretst thou knowst that I regard thee " "Oh, that's all right," said Sal. "Because there are times when even you repeat yourself." - "I!" exclaimed the cynic. "Not I!!" "There you are nobody ever thinks he does. But you know you do. Everybody does. "There's Maria, for instance. She never thinks she tells the same thing twice and I know of no one that is so eternally and forever telling the same old thing. "Chiefly about how menu people treat her of how jealous Marguerite is of her of what he said to her and what she said to him and of ths villainous way Mrs. Snobisme treated her at the Country club and how old dame Catkins snubbed her at the bridge and how her dressmaker insulted her and of how she wouldn't stand it" "Yes," yawned the cynic, "I've heard Maria go on." "Jhe funny thing about it is that she really believes that all this is so," said Sal. "Especially about Marguerite being jealous of her." "Marguerite doesn't have to be jealous of anybody," interpolated the cynic. "Oh, I don't know about that," deployed Sal. "But she certainly isn't jealous of Maria. Maria is one of those loquacious little souls who fancies herself the radiant centre of the universe. She clatters on like a steam caliope and thinks because nobody says anything because they haven't a chance that people hang on her neck and adore her especially the men," added Sal. "Maria does well enough," said the eynic in the conversational hiatus that followed. "But she is sure an awful fool." . , "She. doesn't think you think so," said SaL "She thinks you think she is perfectly adorable." "I've long got past the place where I make any effort to plat out what ."L IIort . pIat out what . "It's perfectly horrible to see 'em. You knowijust the attitude they will strike when they tell you all about it. You know , what's coming you brace yourself to throw interest into your eyes and voice. '"They begin by, saying that if there is one. thing. they detest it is the person, who, is always telling the same thing over and over again. "That that is one thing they never do. "That they have guarded carefully against it. "Because they know so many people who make horrid bores of themselves by doing so. "That they have even noticed it in you and have been amind to tell you of it now and then but feared to offend you. "That they had just had a letter that

These doctors represent but a fraction of the thousands of physicians who who use Postum in place of coffee in their homes and in their practice.

Following the change from coffee to Postum, the ailing one quickly discovers that the Doctor's advice to "quit coffee and use Postum" was sound. Better health follows; then one friend tells another.

RALEIGH, N. C. CHILD Made Strong and Well by Vinol. When we tell you that Vinol is the best remedy in our whole stock for making weak, puny ailing children strong, robust and rosy we are only telling you what has been proved by hundreds of mothers. Mrs. W. O. Strother, Raleigh, N. C, says: "My little girt. Hazel, has been taking Vinol to build her up after a severe spell of sickness. It has done so much good by restoring her appetite and building up her strength that I think Vinol is the finest tonic ever prepared and I am telling everyone about it." What Vinol did for this little girl it will do for every weak, and ailing child because sickly children need the strengthening cod liver elements and

the tonic iron that Vinol contains that i3 why Vinol builds them up quickly and gives them a fine healthy color. It is pleasant to take and we guarantee that the results will satisfy you money back if they do not. Leo II. Fihe, druggist, Richmond, Indiana. P. S. If you have Eczema try our Saxo Salve.

"You know their dog-eared old stories by heart. You know exactly the point where you are to look puzzled just where to look expectant just where to say 'by jove!' just where to begin to let the meaning break in, just where to simulate an appreciative laugh, just where to howl, just when to choke a bit, wipe your eyes and ejaculate "well that's a good one!" while someone else burbles, "that's a new one on rae!" and "where 'd you. get that, old boy!" "I never supposed the men had such troubles," sarcasticated Sal. MOTORCYCLE NOTES The Hamilton (Ont.) Motorcycle Club has grown so rapidly during the past year that it has twice been compelled to move to larger quarters. Two motorcycles are to be included in the equipment of Dr. F. M. Bell of St. Louis, who is planning a gulf coast tour in his biplane. Montgomery, Ala., has decided to employ a motorcycle squad in an effor to put a stop to speeding in the city streets. Wortman & King, proprietors of a Portland, Ore., department store are the first in the city to adopt the motorcycle for delivery purposes. The Kansas Short Grass MotorcyClub is planning to make Yellowstone Park the goal of its annual tour this summer. L. W. Luder and Scott Campbell of Caro, Mich., expect to make a three weeks' motorcycle tour of the East in June. They plan to visit New York, Boston, Portland, Me., Washington, D. C, Philadelphia and possibly Baltimore. In spite of a layer of ice which covered the roads, three members of the St. Louis Motorcycle Club recently made the round trip to Eureka, Mo., a distance of about sixty miles. To make the going more difficult it began to rain before more than half of the Journey was completed. However, the boys made the trip in good time and arrived home without accident.

'Mil MARIE LA SALLE RAS'NOFF. NEW YORK, Feb. 7. "When I find the perfect voice, the equal of my wife's, I will grant its owner a scholarship that will permit her to go abroad to study under the best masters." Max Rabinoff, the Russian impressario, had the above to say in regard to his search for a woman possessing a voice like that of his dead wife, the brilliant young Marie La Salle M. Rabinoff. whose tragic death cheated her of the benefit of the $50,000 fund raised by Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Otto Kahn and a number of other society women. In addition M. Rabinoff pron'ses to g'va to the lucky singer who f v If ills the required qualifications, $10,000 worth of concert, operatic and evening cowrs. Ferris Lamson. an enthusiastic mctcrcyclist cf Bordentown, N. J. Hutchinson, Kan., has formed a motorcycle club which will be affiliated with the F. A. M. "Never too old to learn" is the motto of George V. Ward, of Columbus, Ohio, who has just purchased a motorcycle. Mr. Ward Is 73 years eld. Winnipeg, Can., has added four motorcycles to its police department. The first motorcycle palrol in Winnipeg was organized in 1910, and during the time of their service, tlicso motorcycles have covered from 20,000 to 30,000 miles. In a race between an areoplane and a motorcycle of Tampa, Fla., the motorcycle won by abcut 100 feet. Indiana motorcyclists will have a state convention May 16, 17, and 18.

by J. Leo Sauer, of New York, In his two-months trip beginning about March 1, under the direction of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. Mr. Sauer is chirman of the legal action committee of the F. A. M. and the decision of the board of directors to send him through the country In behalf of motorcycling has created widespread interest among motorcyclists. In connection with the proposed trip there is a competitive feature which promises to result in a strenuous campaign for new members of the P. A. M. A fine silver loving eup will be awarded to the club which reports the largest number of new F. A. M. members at the time of Mr. Bauer's visit in each city. The F. A. M. is increasing in membership at the rate of about 500 each month now, but the increased interest in motorcycling, together with the loving cup and the personal influence of the lecturer's visit, is expected to increase this figure materially. Mr. Sauer will leave New York

about March 1st and by the first of ( May he will, it is expected, have spoken in at least 35 states from the Lakes to the Gulf and from Coast to Coast. It is the plan to arrange night meetings in about forty centers of population, and to induce the general public, as well as motorcyclists, to attend. Mr. Sauer will explain the purposes of the F. A. M., will discuss the growth of motorcycling, offer suggestions for organizing each state into a more useful motorcycling unit, and learn at first-hand in what ways the F. A. M. can te of greater assistance to its members. All cr.eu nre eqnal the day tbey art jrn and the day they are burled.
