An English tourist, while “doing” the Waikato recently was surprised mid disgusted to notice so many Maori women enjoying their pipes.' On hi.< return to Auckland he mentioned the matter to mi old colonist, remarking that it was a sure sign of the degeneracy of the Mrii.ii race when their women smoked pipes. Said the New Zealander: “Well, if that is so, th.’ Irish women of the working class must have, been degenerating for a good while, because I remember seeing them smoking clays in Dublin whest I was a boy ” The tourist said no more. There is nothing wrong with pipe-smoking for a man or woman so long as the right tobacco is used. Choose a brand as free from nicotine as you can. That’s all. Our New Zealand-groww tobaccos contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine, and you can’t beat them for flavour and aroma. You c.tu smoke them for hours and they won’t do you any harm. Ask for “Riverhead Gold,” mild: “Navy Cut” (Bulklog'), medium; or “Cut Plug No. .10” (Bullhead),, full strength.-—IL
