The One Who Guzzles Gin . . .
Fay King Thinks Smoking Bad For Girls, But Drinking Worse
To see some of these sisters who are so self-satisfied with their ultra-sophistication, dragging away on their cigarettes, damning every dame who doesn’t smoke or bob her hair, it makes me smile!
Bobbed hair is as old as the Egyptians, and sweet gentle, little old ladies have smoked pipes in Ireland and other parts of the world for ages!
Personally, I have always thought that the dame who smokes a cigarette is a lot safer than the one who guzzles gin, because while smoking may be a bad habit at least it doesn’t knock you unconscious and make you an easy victim for villains!
