From London oorncs the assurance that
iho duchess or Marlborough has Introduced
cigarette-smoking ID tlio charmed circle oC
her select friends. So successful lias been
the innovation that ravishing smohlng-
Jacltptn , nhtazo wltu gold embroidery , nro
now n imrt and parcel of every society
woman' * outfit.
Gcnllo reader , you nro shocked , and n
fltrotcli of geography will not , in this In
stance , "temper the wind to tha shorn lamb , "
for lam about to give joua turn nearer
conic.
The more than half-naughty fad , Is i mil
itant in our very midst. Not only does the
callow dude , with trousers wider than his ex-
] Xricncc ) , and a stick with a head bigger thau
the confines necessary for Ills intellect , Main
his helpless lingers a dirty brownbut , charm-
Inc anil cultivated women acknowledge It to
bo the correct thing.
These fair crcatuies have familiarised
thcinscl\cs with tobacco In this form to
flitch nn extent that , the varieties of
Egyptian La Ferine , Ulchmond mid
Satin Straight Cuts niul the rest nro
ns well known to them u their pra > prn , and
the pretty creatures make rings ns easily na
they maUo promises.
In tliu boudoirs of any number of women
In Omaha , n tray of cigarettes , holders and
mutches has Its honored piaco with no tffoit
at concealment 'Iho pretty apiwInttucntB
of the tc.i-tablo hnva grown to bo a second
consideration , for tlicic is notlilng wicked
about ten pure and simple. Ihochnrm for
the fnh- sex m smoking is undoubtedly the
conviction that it Is at least venture
some !
Tina the trifles necessary to this practice ,
Which by courtesy Is called a small vice , are
exquisite , no ono can gainsay. There me
little trnVBOf silver , Hcuurcs bras * , tortolso
shell or poicclaln ; holdera of uuibor , mother
of pearl , or silver nguln , In Instances jeweled
and adorned with n monogram ; mutch
boxen of rarest workmanship , some of them
with miniatures of b\Kono beauties made to
smllo tit this now-u-uny custom : tiny candle
sticks lo hold thotapms. und n thousand
other enticing things which go far tow.ird
seducing the feminine mind.
A woman with beauty nnough to draw a
mmi'H heart out of his body , with a spice of
a "wonderfully sweet devil slanting side
long finm her ovolushcs ; " cownod in some
distracting fashion : gracefully posed
with her saury head thrown
bacic ; u paper covered need
in lici dainty ilugeip and her bewitching
face seen through the soft ginv curling
sinokn Is a picture , oven when not employed
as u cigaictlo advertisement , and ono that Is
ns often seen as any other In ultra fashionable -
able Hoelcty.
Miss Coghlnn In ' 'Forget-AJe-Not" and
Mrs. Langtry in that peculiarly unsavorv
piny of "As In a Loohlug-Glass , " g.uhcr all
I their \\ltchery of grace nbont them for the
smoking act , and giddy joung women with
dating propensities , look on and sign with
envy.
To ho sure , any number of men smoke
clgni ottos ami it always appeals to mo that
they have taken up the gnuntlet thrown
down by girls and dudes. 1'orsonnUv , I like
the oOor of u clgnrotti ! mid , were 1 of the
other sex , might on high days .mil holldnj s
imndgo , but reKUlnH.y , never. In the latter
event , tliaie would bo with mo the over-pics-
ont ( ear of coloiing the mind with the lln-
018.
Then , too , It is with elgaicttcs In effect , ns
Bomo otic-stud of strawberries : ' 'God might
have made n better berry , but lie didn't , "
and I i fold limit might make u good cigarette
but ho doesn't.
I heard u pbyMciau of a tcputatlon not
confined to his own town s.iy that nine-
tenths of the women would be healthier if
they smoked , not the baleful cigarette , but a
good cignrl So much for the opinion of
. /Ksculnplus. My hum bio ndvico , however ,
to beauty , is to let cigars alone.
Primarily , the odor of tobacco about a
M Oman's gown or laces is vulgar , and , on
her hands and lips , It is s.iurllego.
Again , smoking Is undeniably exciting to
the nervous system , and indirectly then the
occasion of wrinkles and u lack of repose ,
that unmistakable se.il of good ) " edln r.
As a protest then , Is the "game worth the
candid ! " Is there- enough enjoyment conso-
( lucnt upon hunting ou the preserves of the
other aex for the exposure of oneself
thoicbyto unenviable comment , the rhnnco
reputation for vulgarity and the probable
risk of wrinkles , the samples that Time
works soon enough upon the tulrcst faces ]

Lunch parties , a reception or two and tha
Young Men's Ctiiistian association con
vention kept many Indies away fiom Mrs.
Jciinebs-Mlllor'a lecture , Friday afternoon.
'The natnuot was quite well llllcd , however ,
when a lady canto out on the stage , moved a
red velvet chair several inches , tried ono of
the doors painted on Iho put lor scene , which
was Bet upon the stuse , ana finally intro
duced Mrs. Jonncss-Millcr.
Of course thu lecture was upon the subject
of ilic H u toplo that never fails to Interest
women but the audioimo paid moio atten
tion to the lectuier's ' plush gown
than It did to her sensible
word * . The gown was really u verv
satisfactory creation of the modiste's art and
it was ho picturesque that every woman
btrnightxvny decided to 1m vu at least oao cos-
tlinio exnctly likeIt. .
Mrs. .Icnncss-Miller began her lecture by
Rpcuklng of stout women , und she was not at
all complimentary to her sisters overbur
dened u tthtoo , too solid flesh. " Then she
turned her attention to the lean women with
prominent collar bone. The lecturer's gown
wa cut BO that it displayed u white throat
and therefore she was very severe In dealing
with tier less fortunuto sisters.
The dross reform pnradu was the most In
teresting part of tha lecture , Street suits , n
tea gown und a ball drebs were tried ou In
rapid succession. They woio all pretty
anil they weru likewisenow. . When
the question ol undergarments was
Jlnnlly touched the spectators wore
destined to disappointment. Mrs. Jcnucss <
Miller Bald that the stagewu too cold to
poimithor to show tlie union underwear
und divided skirts in nctivu uso. Uosidcs 11
wild -eyed young man , attached to thu opera
holme , insisted upon appearing at tha door
every ten minutes. Therefore the leader of
tha dies * reform movement merely ex
hibited oomu pongee garments that had no
particular form or shupoliness.
When the luatuio was concluded even1
ono had u rod nose , but there uns u dnm't
boll drill , given by Miss Anderson' * physica
culture clusn , which wus so lively that 1
jnnJo the spectators warm to look at it.

< \ Cunt of Whitewash.
The autumn house cleaning brings with all
it bothersome caio und many a touch of
humor that makes the whole world grin. A
yonug married woman the other day , be
ginning the annual scrubbing time accord
ing to lulc , found that "tho cellar should bo
the lit st consideration , and to insure good
health the walls should no whitewashed. "
Itcasonlng by the law ot incongruity , that
nil negroes are caually skillful in putting
this chat liable coat over a multitude ofdls-
ciopanclcs , she called in nn old retainer mid
bade him begin. Later she was drawn to
the cellar by the most dismal and appalling
moans and groans , lltirr.vine to the door
and throwintr U open she stood transfixed bv
the sight that met her eyes , only to shriek
with laughter when the whole meaning
dawned upon hfcr mind.
A metamorphosis from a full-bloodca
nogto to something surpassing the staring
whiteness of Hutnuty IJumptv stood on a
shaky scaffolding in themlddlp of the room
xrlth Ills calcimine , oh , horror of horrors , in
her spick , span new coal bucket. The sunny
whistling creature of an hour before had
mcnnwhilo ceased gro.inlng , und with nn ef
fort marked by various cracks and crevices
In his pasty features , ho managed to uj icu-
late :
"Missis , I want 'jou to understan' , dls
hero is do las' whitowushlu' dls niccah ' 1
over do I1' '
And ho proceeded to dip his brush in the
thin mixturn , turning his face upward with
closed oycs , and slapping the stuff on , with
thu result , that two-thirds poured back upon
him , drying directlv , und leaving him litor-
crally with a cwst of countenance , nnd the
ceiling broken out in spots.
It is unnecessary to say ho was dissuaded
from continuing , and went homo much ci cat-
fallen over his unsuccessful attempt.
