At that time women had a horror of tobaccosmoke, so this young lady exacted a pledge from her “intended” —most reluctantly given that he would abandon smoking for ever before they were married. Six months later tlie young wife was glad to absolve her husband from his vow. She states his temper as the result of enforced /abstinence from tobacco became “abominable. Directly he resumed his pipe he became his old genial self again ! Moral : Every lady should encourage her husband to smoke. “Robert Louis Stevenson said that, and he knew !
