Women Smokers.
A social scrimmage in Boston (Mass.) over the question whether women should smoke at a proposed club for women, is one of many incidents that has reanimated discussion on the propriety of this habit for ladies. The intense curiosity shown at the sight of a woman smoking (says the Boston Courier) is sucli as to indicate that the habit is still quite infrequent. On the ocean steamers the plebeian curiosity-seekers gather about the knots of smoking women as if it were a dog fight. It is one of the curious anomalies of public sentiment that it is so hostile to an act in one sex that meets with such slight condemnation in the case of the other. .
