He had never even as a boy cared ft>r s m o k i n g , and when the other f e l l o w s w e r e sneaking behind the barn to exp e r i m e n t with corn - silk e 1 g arettes and bamboo stems, he never tried smoking. The habit liad no allurement f o r h i m e v e n though It was taboo in liis family--a situation which not uncommonly drives young people to try what they might otherwise not be tempted to do. He tolerated the habit in men, as he took stoically other objectionable and vulgar habits in his own sex, provided the smoking was not done in the presence of women. To him it was the height of bad manners to smoke when women were in the room. •„ "May I smoke?" had ft ring of vulgarity In his ears. Then one summer he went to Italy for a vacation. It was at Florence that he met a most charming English woman and her even more charming daughter. He was waiting for a carriage to take him out to one of the parks to see some famous statue--the Indian Prince or Dante or Savonarola or some one like that--and the three were upon the same adventure. Cornish is the soul of courtesy, his carriage came first, and like the gentleman that he is he Invited the two ladies to share it with him. They accepted, and the three had a wonderful morning together. What was more natural than that he should ask them to have luncheon with him or more likely than that they should accept? The luncheon, which he enjoyed very much, was over, and without warning the young woman took an ornamental cigarette case from her hand bag, pa - sed it to her mother, took a cigarette herself, and then of fered the case to Cornish. He hesitated, grew red in the face, he stammered. To refuse seemed to throw criticism upon his guests; to accept meant nausea. He explained that his physician did not allow him to smoke much as he would enjoy doing so. But times are changed now. Gentlemen seldom now Inquire of ladles, "May I smoke?" or ladies of men.

Color in Caaseli : v - •Camels 'seem,to be singularly free from the color variations that affect so many domesticated animals--melanism and albinism. Black camels, presumably melantics, are rare. A breed called Nubian camel is of a very light sh'ade. This seems to be a regular color strain, however, and not a case of ablfnism.
