Wiiat shall we do with our girls ? The other day a New Plymouth business man advertised for a girl to assist in a shop. At noon he telephoned to ask that it should not be repeated, as he had already had over 100 applcants. Au English tourist while “doing” the Waikato recently was surprised and disgusted to notice so many Maori women enjoying their pipes. On his return to Auckland he mentioned the matter to an old colonist, remarking that it was a sure sign of the degeneracy of the Maori race when their women smoked pipesu Said the New Zedlander:. “Well, if that Is the Irish women of the ■ working class must have been degenerating for a good while, because I remember seeing them smoking clays in Dublin when I was a boy.” The' tourist said no more. There is nothing wrong with pipe smoking for man or woman so long as the right tobaco is used. Choose a brand as free from nicotine as you can. That’s all. Our New Zea-land-grown tobaccos contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine, and you- can’t beat them for flavour and aroma. You can smoke them for hours, and they won’t do you any harm. Ask for Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullhead), ful’ strength.’
