Ata meeting of one of the women’s clubs Mrs. Blake said: No greater wrong has been done to man than not teaching him to sew. That's why he smokes so much. If he had only been taught embroidery, think of the difference.” Robert Louis Stevenson was one of the greatest cigarette sinokers that ever lived. When he “limited” himself he smoked one hundred a day. When he did not limit himself he smoked—we would not like to say how many for fear of being suspected of ex- aggeration. He found that the only way for him to keep from smoking in- cessantly was to have some other »cenpation for his nerves.

It is an occupation for the fingers, for the nerves in general; and of course the stronger its hold upon a man and the more his nerves become shattered, the greater the demand of his nerves for occupation. Stevenson, casting about for a substitute distraction, remem- bered the women of Naples, knitting contentedly in the sun hours on hours. So he took up knitting and became a good deal of an expert.
