L.,” taking exception to this verdict and criticising the fury for its laxity. As & matter of fact, the verdict ren- dered by the jury did not exonerate the woman who wns driving the car. A copy of the verdict follows: “We, the jury, being duty sworn to Inquire, on the part of the people of the state of Washington, into all circumstances attending the death of Harry Candiott!, now lying dead at Seattle, in the county of King, state of Washington, find, in our Judgment, that he came to hig death on the 16th day of June, A. D. 1921, by the reason of an avoidable acct dent due to the Incompetency of Mra. Doris Kluckbolm, driver of an automo! and we, the jury, recom. mend that she (Mre. Kluckhotm) be prohibited from further driving.” Seattle Women Who Smoke Editor The Star: Thursday, June 16, you published an article entitled, “Lady Loves Her Cigaret Case.” On last Friday, undor the article entitled “Woman Wearing Derby and Smok ing Cigar Makes Second Avenue Rub Its Eyes,” there was a sentence to the effect that “the reporter didn't have the breath to ask the lady her name.” Now my pet peeve is the une of that word “lady.” Are we to believe that a woman who smokes, probably boozes, and, no doubt, i# past mis tress of all the attendant vices, to be considered a lady? Everyone, re- mardleas of race, creed, environment or condition, honors, loves an@ re spects the greatest and best lady he| ever knew—-his mother, His concep. tion of a lady ‘is built around her, his best “friend and sweetheart, but how many can associate her sweet, gentle face, silvery hair and time worn hands and the memory of her guidance and care thru his boyhood | with her inhaling cigarets? Are these leas, brazen females of the spe cles to be placed on an equal with our wives and mothers? Are these ame wives and mothers to be #0 low- ered as to be on the same level with some cigaret-sucking chtcken?

She lived not very tar from us, and I saw her often, Bhe waa almont as much tn our home as in that of her brother, where ahe babit- ually lived, She had charge of the darning, mending and all) such lke things. Also she belped tn emergencies in ohther home, I was not always a comfort to her. | wae more noisy than she ied, and I had other faults which need not here be enumerated. One day she talked to me upon some serious subject, and I turned it Into mirth. “Will you never become serioust the asked of me, Unabashed, I answered, “I hope not.” I wan about to leave, but she) called me back, “Walt,” she maid. “1 have something to aay to you. I arked if you are never to become serious, and you answered ‘1 hope not’ Did you may that flippantly, or do you mean it?” I thought @ little, and anid, “1 am afraid I maid it fitppantly; but now that I think about it seriously, I ati think I want to make the same an- swer.” “Good? aaid she. “I hope aa, too.” Then she said something Uke this: “This world in rather a serio place, and & t not to be taken frivolously, But it is a world to be tiken with a high beart and a cheer ful spirit. “If you enter into fife with « maiety that tx nothing but frivollt: life will prove too etrong for y but If you tace it with a lightners heart that comes from a happy #pirit and a genuine moral courage, nothing that happens here can ever daunt you. “That ts what I hope you mran when you say that you hope you are never to become serious” I fear I had not meant all that she had in mind; and yet she waa right in thinking that my answer was not wholly flippant. There are people meastire of seriousness but discour- agement and inertia. They would profit if they could know the value of a cheerful mind, and the habit of facing life with a light heart. That was what my Aunt Jane meant.

Other than to hold the inquest this office is powertens, any resulting prosecution being in the hands of the prosecut. ing attorney. Yours very truty, DR. W. H. CORSON, Coroner, for putting our true and good women on a pedestal where the contamina tion and filth spread by this other breed can never reach; those despic able beings whose sole ambition in life seems to be to rob respectable womanhood of ite most sacred pos session—honor and decency. Yours very truly, H. G. ARBUCKLK, 4837 Oreas St. The Star ecagnot print the above letter without taking exception to the writer's viewpoint. Mr. Arbuckle seems to feel that all women who pmoke are lacking in womanhood and in the qualities that we attribute to @ lady. Now the facts seem to be that a large proportion of Seattle women do smoke, and, without « | pressing an opinion as to the wisdorn of their doing it, The Star does feel it is highly unfair to call them names or to question their character. Surely they have the same right to smoke, if they wish, as men have, Surely |they are as competent to decide whether they ought to «moke. The question whether smoking is good for them ts open to debate; #0, for that matter, 1% the question whether smoking Is good for men.—Hditor, working guys” that dont carry clubs are not supposed to have soula.
