LADIES IN SMOKING CARRIAGES
Sir, —Will you kindly grant me a small space in your widely-read paper to draw the attention, of the Railway Department to the fact that there is a tcarcity of smoking carriages on all the trains. Why should our long-distance train be limited to one first and one secondclass smoker? I em one of hundreds of railway travellers who are using the long-distance trains all the year round, jud I am very often compelled to find ,i seat in a non-smoker when I wish to smoke because a lot of seats are occupied by ladies, and even boys who have not yet arrived at the smoking age. And it seems to me that if ladies who do not smoke wish to use the smoker it is because they like tho. smell of the tobacco or our company, or something. Anyway, the Railway Department can easily keep up with the changed conditions by putting a printed "smoker” label on most of the ordinary carriages, end the few passengers who object to smoking would, use tho others. Thanking you in anticipation for insertion of the above,— 1 am ’ etC " A JAX.
