Here professional pipe adepts undertake to | smoke a new pipe until the harshness |of the wood is burned out, or until a meerschaum has assumed the desired | shade. The industry became almost extinct hefore the war owing to decrease of pipe smoking. Revival of the cus: tom was one of the minor results of | the great war, and prominent pipe adherents, such -as Vice President | Dawes, ex-Premier Herriot and Prime Minister Baldwin, have helped to | maintain its popularity. Pipe smoking was fashionable un- | der the second empire and there were many establishments _similar to that recently opened pear. the Odeon., Ero- | fessional pipe smokers were paid at the rate of 20 centimes per pipe plus | the necessary tobacco. A real expert and a hard worker could color four on ve pipes daily, making an income. of m $0 centimes to one franc a day. | This income allowed a careful man to live quite comfortably in those day | especially as the professional smoker | for food.
