A scandalised correspondent of an Auckland paper lias been rushing into print anent the ''boldness" of the modern miss (who will doubtless characterise him as a back number!) This indignant person, it seems was lunching the other day at a city restaurant. Seated next him was a smartly attired damsel who, having linished eating, produci ed a carton of Riverhead Gold, and after 'r'olling her own," .stuck the cigarette, between her lipsticked lips and asked for a light! Fancy that now! The correspondent didn't fancy it. He was "horrified, and would have "smoking by females." made punishable, "as not only highly improper but highly injurious." .Whether it is improper for "females" to smoke in restaurants is ior them to decide. It's common enough in other anyhow. But as for its injuriousness. that depends on the tobacco. Riverhead Gold is perfectly safe, because like Desert Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 ('Bulldog) and Cut Plug No. 10 (Builshead), its toasted—consequently harmless for there's- hardly . any ;rfl cot i ne Both Riverhead Gol/i and Desert Gold, it may be . added, make delightful cigarettes.
