Show Queens Who Smoke. The Comtesse de Paris, the queen de jure of France, 1b addicted to mild Ha-vanns Ha-vanns of delicious flavor, and her daughter, daugh-ter, Queen Amelia of Portugal, is a source of considerable fortune to the manufacturers of Russian cigarettes at Dresden. All tho Russian grand duchesses duch-esses and most of the imperial archduchesses archduch-esses of Austria, including Marie The-rese, The-rese, Elizabeth and Clothilde, smoke to their hearts' content and in the most public manner, and their example is followed fol-lowed by Queen Olga of Wnrtemberg, who is a daughter of Czar Nicholas; by Queen Olga of Greece, who is likewise a Russian grandduchess; by the Princesses Leopold and Lnitpold of Bavaria, and by Queen Henrietta of Belgium. Neither of the empresses of Germany nor the queen of Saxony, nor yet the grand duchess of Baden, is known to use tobacco in any form, and if either Qneen Emma of Holland Hol-land or the qneen of Sweden indulges in an occasional cigarette for the purpose of soothing sorely tried nerves, she does so in private.
