The woman cigarette smoker is so familiar a figure in London that the woman who does not light a cigarette after dinner in a restaurant makes herself rather conspicuous. But pipe smoking by women is, in the public mind, still associated exclusively with old gipsies. This shows (writes a correspondent in the “Daily Chronicle”) that the public mind is not up to date. In a famous high class and high-priced pipe shop in the West End I was shown pipes that are made specially for ladies. They cost guineas, and not pence, so they are evidently not for the old gipsy woman. “We sell a lot of them to society women,” I was told. They are taking up pipe smoking—at home, of course, not in restaurants — s and most of them have their favourite tobaccoes, specially blended to their individual tastes.
