To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And there is one violation of the form which is recent and gross, and might be well cited as a striking illus- tration of the decay of manners. It is the practice of smoking in the society Tobacco and Manners 73 of ladies in public places, whether driv- ing, or walking, or sailing, or sitting.
There are preux chevaliers who would be honestly amazed if they were told they did not behave like gentlemen, who, sitting with a lady on a hotel piazza, or strolling on a public park, whip out a cigarett...e, light it, and puff as tranquilly as if they were alone in their rooms.
Or a young man comes alone upon the deck of a steamer, where throngs of ladies are sitting, and blows clouds of tobacco smoke in their faces, without even remarking that tobacco is disa- greeable to some people. This is not, indeed, one of the seven deadly sins, but a man who unconcernedly sings false betrays that he has no ear for music, and the man who smokes in this way shows that he is not quite a gentleman.
But some ladies smoke?
