claimed a woman. 1 looked

ple’s manners are no worse 'tb!U?
those of bad people—in ract, they are
better.
**I know' that,” she returned, when
I made this protest, yet one does
expect better things of people—at
least of respectable people—than one
sometimes finds.
I have thought of it often since.
then—especially in public places—•
as I have watched well-dressed, in
telligent-looking men and women
and noted their lack of courtesy—of
course one sees this, especially in the
public conveyances. 1 am sorry to
say that 1 often have cause to blush*
for my own sex. When I see njen
rise that women may be seated—
(yes! they do this sometimes!)—one
woman out of three, perhaps, will
say, ‘‘Thank you!”-
Watch the Women.
Do you doubt this statement? Then
watch the well-dressed women and
girls on the crowded cars at the
rush-hour. A man who is, it may be.
tired after a day’s work, rises and
motions to a girl stading chatting^
and giggling with a friend, to sit
down. Still giggling, she says to her
friend. “Don’t you want that seat?”
The other girl giggles In return and
Insists that she would “rather stand.”
and, at last, number one dr6ps into
the proffered seat and the kindness
of the man is not recognized, even by
an absent-minded nod.
I have seen an elderly man whose
white hairs certainly entitled him
to respect, rise, and, lifting his hat,
say in a courtly manner to the weary
i woman standing in the aisle—“Pray,
Madam, take my seat.” She took
j it, naturally, and although young
enough to be his daughter, she
scarcely glanced at the kind-hearted
man. She certainly did not thank
him.
There are, of course, many in- (
stances in which the woman who re
ceives this attention does say “Thank
you!” or “You are very kind!” or “[
am much obliged to you!” I ani
not in a position to say how often
a man receives such return for his
courtesy, but many of the men whom
1 have consulted on this matter tell
me that the women who utter no
word of acknowledgment in such in
stances are more numerous than
those w r ho <*'
What at. .he men who do not
rise when r en are standing?
There are so '« / of them that one
takes them “m- granted. Si me of
them, ostriefc-like, hide their heel;
behind the morning or evening pi
pers, and seem to f^el that so !or ;
as they do not show their facts their
lack of courtesy is not observed.
Seem Too Absorbed.
Others have not the grace to wish
to conceal their features or io try
to seem too absorbed to notice the
women w'ho have no seats. They do
not care, and are willing that people
should know' that they do not care.
But let us put down a broad mark
of credit to the many tired men—
men who have toiled from morning
to evening—who deny themselves ,
the comfort of a little rest that a
woman may sit down. They are
not always the handsomely dressed
men. either. It is interesting to
note how many voluntary strap
hangers on the evening trains are
cheaply dressed clerks, or grimy-
handed working men. But at heart
they are gentle.
It is foolish to term “ill-manner
ed” the hustling and crowding in the
cars. It is an “every-man-for-him-
self” skirmish, and if one would not
be jostled out of the way, one must
go with the mass. So I do not criti
cise that state of affairs, as the cour
teous and discourteous are all in one
mad scramble bent. But the cars and
the shops are often places where the
bad manners of the people who are,
at least, good-looking are conspicu
ous.
Watch them rush into the swing-
doors of the shops, heedless of the
person coming behind who may be
struck by the heavy door as it slams
shut; notice the women who push
others aside at counters; observe
the customers who are disagreeable
to the saleswomen (we will not dis
cus’s the saleswoman herself—there
is not room for that); note the peo
ple in line at the box-office window
who do not respect the place of
each person, and w'ho will, if the op
portunity arises, “steal a place,”
thus getting to the window ahead
of the man whose right it was to
get there first. Yet most of these
are respectable, seemingly kindly folk.
As to offenses in the drawing
room, the dining room and the office
—there is time to do no more than

touch upon these. All of us know
the person who Inquires, "What
kind of work are you doing now?
Why did you change from your last
position?” or who even asks. “Are
you making as much money at your
new job as you did at your last?”
Those Who Forget.
We all know the people who for
get to answer invitations, who come
late to dinners, who are never punc
tual at any appointed time and place. ?
Perhaps all those thoughtless deeds
and speeches may not be termed ac
tual rudeness, but if
"Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest
way,”
we may insist that people who do
the things that we have mentioned
are at least hardly kind.
We are not discussing the big
discourtesies, rough speeches, disgust
ingly bad manners, outrages against
good breeding. But one wonders if
many excellent people might not pin-
more heed to the trifles, the little
considerations which, in public ami
private, are the drops of oil in the
machinery of life that make it run
