ashnistrikeOkay, it's time to do a pass for smoking, and for the minefield that is women's choices of hats (or no hats) in 1949.
Does anyone know:
...whether smoking would have been permitted in a library--in this case an ivy league academic library?
...in bookstores?
My instinct is what the hell are you thinking, but I can only just remember what it was like to have everyone smoking inside in the first place? (It sucked, that's what I remember. But people mostly got used to it.)
