"Punch's" famous "advice to those about to marry" was "Don't." R. L. Stevenson's advice to ladies contemplating matrimony was "never marry a non-smoker." Charles Reade, the novelist, who flourished before cocktails, night clubs, votes for women and the intellectual superiority of the "softer sex" were invented counselled ladies to encourage their husbands and finances' to smoke all they wanted to. Daring advice at a time when women hadn't learned to smoke and hated—or said they hated—tobacco. Ah, well, the world grows wiser every day! And it is bacoming generally recognised that, given the right baccy smoking, so far from proving harmful, is often positively beneficial. Unfortunately, however, the. right baccy is not so common as it should be—save in New Zealand. There are four brands: Navy Cut No. 3. Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Cut Plug No. 10. Not vme of them contains any nicotine worth mentioning; all are famous for their splendid quality. They are toasted!—and quite harmless. They don't affect heart or throat and are as pura as they are delicious. 97.
