COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN. BY ONE ' OF THEM. . An English feminine writer declares herself in favor of smoking—for her husband. Home woiil'l not be homé without the man who smokes, without the odor of tobacco, and she gives reas- ons .vhy she likes to see her husband smoke. He is not one of those men who never have a pipe out of their mouth, but a nice, sensible, temperate fellow who, when business is over. settles into an easy chilir, [ills his pipe, lights it, and unfolds the evening paper. “Then, to my fancy, a man is at his best," she declares, “for, while I work, he reads aloud the choice parts of the news which he thinks will interest me. Shoiild he have encountered more than an ordinary share of, difficulties or trouble, he forgets them all after he has finished a nicely-cooked and care- fully served dinner, and is ready, for his pipe.” ' That is true of most men. Worries vanish like the smoke from their pipes. Disagreeable little money matters which the wife approaches with fear and trembling the husband regards with complacency after he has become enveloped in tobacco smoke. I don’t say that the habit of smoking is a good one to form, but once it has taken root it is hard to pull up. I don’t say that smoking agrees with all men, for I know that it does not. But I do say that a large'number of men suffer no material injury from the use of to- bacco and find it an amount of comfort that nothing else will replace. 1 have always felt sorry for the man who had to choose between his pipe ‘1 and his sweetheart, for I believe that hOWever much he may love the latter he will miss the former horribly, and all she can do will not fully make up the loss. . I have had a distinct feeling of ag4 gravation against a woman of whom I once heard who objected to her hll~ band’s cigars, not "because they made her ill—that would have been a reas‘~ onable excuse—but because his evident enjoyment of them irritated hen, - She decided to cure him of his ‘smok- ing habit, and hit upon what was prob ably the only manner in'Which igcould be done. It was surely the surest way to success. One night after dinner he settled down for his evening smoke, lighted a cigar, and heaved a sigh of satisfaction. His wife, a comparatively new one, by the way, watched him fora few min- utes and then calmly walked over to the tray on which he had laid out a supply andtook up one with the re- mark: “My dear, since you find such evident comfort and delight in smoking I think I’ll try it.” She actually lighted it- and took more than one puff before he recovered his wits. He quietly walked over to the fireplace and tossed the half-finished cigar into the glowing coals with the remark: “If my comfort and enjoyment must be secured at the cost of seeing you smoke, I do not want them. Ishall smoke no more.” And he never did. The worst of the story is the gusto with which she related the incident on sundry occasions when the subject of masculine habits and their cure came up. I consider her conduct nothing short of intense selfishness. Smoking is to a man what tea is to a woman, a nerve soother, a strengthen- er, a brain clearer. I wonder what woman among us would give up our fragrant cup of tea for anything short . of the doctor’s orders I Surely, we would regard the man who asked such a sacrifice as a brute not to he humored. . And the woman who asks a man to put away forever his cigar and pipe— what is she? A reformer, I heard somebody say. No, she is not unless the man’s health is Suffering from the indulgence. Then she has a right to interfere. There are women who grow positively ill at the smell of tobacco, and when they marry smokers they ought to pro- vide a little den for them where they can do as they like—get fumigated and return to the society of their family. If fathers and brothers acquire the smoking habit and you don’t want the odor of tobacco all through the house, give them a room with a couch, easy chairs, a large table and good light, and let them be comfortable, A dear old Unitarian minister, now laid to rest, used to say that we all had a perfeét right to do whatever does no injury to others or ourselves, and if he was right, have not the men the right to turn themselves into chimneys so long as theyvinjure neither themselves nor those connected with them.

And now we are buying things for others that we would dearly love to have ourselves. Some persons act over an actress off the stage as though she were a perform- ing hear. The definition of true amiabilit-y at a bazaar is to do everything you are asked. W'hen a woman once lets ambition take possession of her, it eliminates- every other sentiment. Chain purses are much advertised, but “chained ” ones are what women need at this season. The scent of Christmas greens fills one With all sorts of pleasant memories and anticipations. When you get, to the point where you use others instead of their using you, the, world deems you a success. As soon as you settle yourself to ac- cept disappointment, you are pretty sure to obtain what you desire. How easy it is plan to get up early in the morning and work and how hard it is to put such plan into (execution. And now we are informed that lying is a disease. An incurable one it must be, judging by some of the chronic cases noticed in society. It is apparently the fad nowadays to buy wedding rings that look as little as possible like the plain gold alfairs of tradition and custom The matinee idol who can look un- conscious as he walks along the street frequently proves himself a greater actor otf the stage than he ,is on it. Persons who assert that women have no sense of humor have never seen a young mother insisting upon her bach- elor brother holding the baby. And now one is puzzled to tell whether drug stores are really for the sale of drugsor are bric-a-brac and no‘ tion stores. ‘ When we hear of persons going to different parts df the country for their lungs it"bears a startling suggestion of the pessibility of being able to leave portions of their anato n y WIIL re they choose. ‘ ‘ . . Pinsnln nounitxmll; It does notrequire an expert to de- te‘ct' the sufferer from kidney. trouble. The hollow cheeks. the sunken eyes. the dark, puffy circles. under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. ‘ ‘ - A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull' pain _or ache in the back ’or over 'the hips,- s't'oinach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it: __if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling, as if it must at once be repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. . . - W’hen these symptoms are present,no time should be lost in removing the cause. . Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation. causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawingof the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world—wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention THE N OBWALK GAZETTE and write to Dr. Kilmer & 00., Binghamton, N.
