SHOKE ROOHS ARE USED BY WOMEN Men's Quarters in London Are Tnvaded London, Dec. 7. UP—Feminine smoke rings are being blown with inereasing defiance fromheretofore exclusively masculine -armchairs in London smoking cafes. Astonished glances and angrily rustled newspapers fall to disturb the innumerable Lady Nicotines -vho are slowly ousting men from their own strongholds. Change of Few Years “A few years ago no woman would ever have dared pass our doors,” said the director of a firm which operates firty smoking cafes in the London city district. “Today we could not keep them out if we trieu! A few years ago if any wo- man did succeed in enterlng we cer- tainly would not have permitted her to indulge in a cigarette—not even a scented one with a strip of pink satin around the end. “But everything is different now. Women have been smoking for years—at homes, at dances and in the cafes and restaurants of the West End, but lately they have even swarmed into the smoking cafes of the City which, even after smoking for women had received universal sanction, were by common consent regarded as the exclusive resort of man."” Want to Smoke With Men “Why not smoking cafes for wo- men if they are so keen on their coffee and cigarettes,” it was sug- gested. He shook his head. “Because they don’t want it,” he replied. “She wants to go where the men are. If anyonme started smoking cafes for women yow'd find they wouldn't go there and if they did the men would start a counter invasfon. Mixed smoking cafes will be the recognized thing in the fu- ture—and a not very distant future either.” Many business girls in London are adopting the 11 o'clock coffee and clgarette habit and some em- ployers allot them a ten minute in- terval definitely for this purpose.
