The Old Cynic suggests to any little school girl wht Contemplates
learning to smoke cigarettes that she ask the next dozen wompn'^f ‘
about forty years of age (might be hard to find a dozen who will :
admit as many years as that)who smoke a pack or two a day If they
are glad they took up smoking# »Th©n ask the next’idozen women ►of
this ago who do not smoke if they are sorry |,hey missed out and did
not learn to smoke* Then do asvyou damn plead^ butiyou will *hdve

- Ono’ reason we do not like' to-'see ;;youngj mothers smok^hgJ< ‘
cigarettes is that it makes most af;them so inconsiderate♦•f’ other
people. The other day I was»£h'ia‘train and a\.young mother, was holding
her inf anV* ’She’ let the cigarette ashes-fall’ih^theA babies, eyes as
most smoking mothers do* -The'1 baby screamed Arv’pain* The. mother* could
see that the screaming was disturbing.; the $assenger&£ so;; she grabbed
a towel- and smpthered the baby till it quit breathing, ‘then she.
tossed the baby out the window.#, and. everything was quiet and every**
one was satisfied* But most young mothers are not so considerate of
Other peo le and will let the baby* howl in fegohyand disturbt every
one around. V/e think young girls shourl# .stop iglther smoking or.uCi
babies, Probably babies would-be the^ easiest^.i
