Certainly, from a point of legal right, they are permitted to smoke in one of the compartments of tho tramcar, but surely when a woman has to ■ -. sit in same compartment because there is' no room in the other portion, it is right fop, a man to act as a man, and take his pipfi out of his mouth until &ho alights, or until lie comes to his own stopping- place; ~,£ have been very much surprised of late to find some of our, so-called gentlemen deliberately smoking. in the Parnell oars,' and allowing the smoke from their pipes to drift across tho face. of some > lady, who might - happen to bo sitting nest to them. .
