PRINCESS MARY’S EXAMPLE
SMOTvIG INCIDENT AT A LUNOHEUN. LONDON, Nov. 2. There was an interesting incident at a luncheon at Ipswich at which 1 rineess Mary, who had visited the town to open several local institutions, was a guest. After the loyal toast, the customary announcement was made: “Ladies and gentlemen may now smoke.” There was a general laugh, and the Princess smiled. A waiter, with boxes of cigars and cigarettes passed behind the head table. He held the cigarette box close to Princess Mary! She glanced at it, made no sign whatever, and turned away her head. Other women guests took cigarettes from the box, but, presumably affected by the Royal example, were not seen to light them.
