1. How It Began (Coronet, October, 1955)
During Colonial times it was customary for ladies of the Cuban aristocracy to smoke cigars with the same freedom that modern women accord the cigarette. But because they feared their fingers might be stained by the long slim cigaros it became a fad to wrap a narrow "holding strip" of paper around them. The strip was gilt or silver, or chosen to match the smoker's gown. And that is the origin of the intricately engraved bands bound around most cigars today. --Mary Alkus |
2. Tearful Cure (Coronet, October, 1955)
A woman's tears are one of the strongest natural antiseptics known to science. Diluted thousands of times they will still kill scores of different kinds of microbes. Tears are thus one of the strongest means of protection against infection. --Elly Dale Schayne |
