Ladies, I am about to propose the name of & lady for admittance into our circle who, motwithstanding her popularity and success, beams a very cloudy reputation. She 1s acoused of turning the heads and damaging the hearts of her too devoted lovers. I may as well admit it; she cer- tainly causes internal commotion and up- sets the arrangement of nearly all social bodies on her first intraduction; but her irresistible charms are so potent that no matter how much she may disagree with you on first acquaintance, she succeeds in winning you over to her, and you soen be- come the best of friends. stand time Of course, T expect oppositien to my candidate; I already see some of you r noses and shaking your vertheless, T am here to champion her cause and ask your sup- port for her, for the reason that I belleve in her, am her stanch friend, having made her my confidant and bosom friend for some rs, and can honestly affirm that her good qualities redeem her faults, Now, you are all wondering who she is, Well, I am not ashamed of her, although I am so often sniffed at when seen in her company. But let me formally introduce her Madame President and Ladies, y Lady Nicotine."” of good old American stock, of whose neage and nily connection there can be no qu ; a descendant of one of the ve: t families of Virginia, whose records trace back four hundred years, long before the Colonial Dames or the Daughters of the Revolution were ever thought of. About 158 a member of her family, Plant Weed Tobacco Esq., accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh to England, where he was recelved with the warmest welcome and honors. His fascinating qualities win- ning for him a reception into the high- est circles, he.became a social power, not ment for good into our club? I maintain that she can. the her Is she not personification of peace? Does not soothing presence Inspire good will and calm reflection? Her very symbol, the calumet, or pipe of peace, hanging over her sanctum (for of course she will have her own quarters in our new club house), of itself suggests harmony. Again, she makes for health and length of years by purifying the atmosphere around her of the deadly microbes. You never read of the death of a centenarian but you invariably find that he or she has been a persistent smoker and devotee of Mme. Nicotine for eighty or ninety years. Ladies, you have all heard the Ma- dame’s claim to your suffrages, and while I realize that I.am out of order, I am going to ask for your votes right now; you can't stop me for you have no by- laws. Those who are in favor of electing Ma- dame Nicotine will say “aye,” those op- posed “no.”’ The “noes” are in the mejfority. Ma- dame Nicotine is snuffed out only in England, but all over Eurqpe, and for over 300 years his descendants were entertained unquestioned in every quar- ter of the globe, E But slas!

I don’t—do you? Mrs. Samigl G. Buckbge Tells Why She Obj:Cts to“ML Lady™ l DON'T approve of smoking for women. Chiefly because I don’t.
