Gladstone's Courtesy.
1 remember, writes T. P. O'Connor
In the London Sunday Times, the time
when smoking was considered not
merely unhealthy and vlciutis, but e
vulgar, and few men dared to smoke
In the streets. To me, therefore, It
does not seem ns curious as to others
that Gladstone, who belonged to the
old generation, had such a strong ob-
jection to smoking. It wis to him
something of a sacrifice to allow smok-
ing around him—so much of a sacri-
fice that I believe It was not till his
son Herbert hud grown up to being
a young man and n great stuoker that j
there was any smoke room In Hawar- j
den castle. Rut when the late king, !
then the prince of Wales, who was !
notoriously a great smoker—came to j
dine with him, Mr. Gladstone's splen-
j did politeness Induced hltu to smoke j
a cigarette—for the first, and I he-
| lleve the Inst, time In his life, so that
the prince might not feel uncomfort-
able when lighting his clgur.
