She kept no lib- crtines within her palace. Man or wo- man, it mattered not, whose name was even shadowed, had to go from her presence into seclusion from which she never called forth. But times would seem to have changed. There is a silent encouragement given in the highest quarters to habits that the late queen regarded, and the women of the land stil and will regard, as low, and dirty, and utterly unfit to be associated with a noble woman- hood. One of these habits, and by no means 'the worst, is the habit of smoking. Who would even think of a photograph of Victoria with a cigar in her mouth ? But her granddaughter who unfortinately bears her name, sineo she unfortunately became queen of Spain, 80 eredit to the Scottish church in which she was baptized, nor to the Anglican church in which she was confirmed, nor to the religious faith which gave the brightest crown on earth to the Guelph family, and still them on it in = gran deur and opulence, has appeared be fore the ladies of her court, to their amazement and discomfort as a smok- er. Presents of cigarettes have been iven to all the ladies of her house- hold, and "the vulgar, disghsting hah- it is becoming common in her palace. Where did she learn the habit ? In the secret of her own royal British home of course. She carried it with her to contaminate and vulgarize the Span- ish women. Already British women are polluted, and to such an extent as to glory in their shame. The Lon- don papers announce to the world that the lmchess of Roxburgh save as a marriage present to a titled dame, Lady Unah Hutchinson, a complete. vigarette outfit. The same woman in the drawing-room of the Duchess of Westminster and with her approval, handed around among the ladies after dinner her dainty gold cigarette case, and when the gentlemen joined them the room was full of the blue cloud and the tobacco smell. The Duchess of Roxburgh, who is such a devotee of the weed and zealot in introducing it to hirh born British ladies, ix herself a veritable nobody, and a nameless nothing without her money bag. No Ametican Goelet would ever have crosaxd the threshhold of Floors Castle as the Duchess of Roxburgh but for the mighty dollars that followed; and here she is, unconscious of the high dignity that haloes an ancestral name, showing her own hereditary lowness in smoking like an Indian squaw, and tempting British ladies to do the same. No Duchess of Roxburgh, though one of the grand old line, much less an ordinary New Yorker, can make what is a disgusting habit a 're- fined and ladylike accomplishment. Not even a queen can de it,, whether British or Spanish. Yet their dirty way of living will be copied by that crowd of small minds and mean hearts that have but one desire and pat Barth but one effort, simply, only to be fashionable. Everywhere are such foolish peopie "to be found, struggling as' their one aim in life to keep jn the track of the reputed great.
