No Gentleman Smoked in Her Presence

A YOUNG lady recently entered a railroad carriage in Paris, where there were three or four gentlemen, one of whom was lighting a cigar. Observing her, with the characteristic "politeness" of a Frenchman, he asked her if smoking would incommode her. She replied: "I do not know, sir; no gentleman has ever smoked in my presence."
