YHE bad manners of go»'rt le astonish me!” ex claimed a woman. 1 looked at hei In surprise. Surely good peo 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 ■ By Tom McNamara 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 It’s Easy to See There’s Something in the Wind H©fn§tw*d United Patent Offlc* r GOO FOR FANS " NO’jJ LGTEM, W Th THAI KIP STEP SISTER flP EA6LE BEAKS AROOHD j i 60T THE GREATEST SCHEME YOU EUEfl I LIKE YOUR NERN1E!-DON'T TOO DARE TO 60SSIP ABOUT ME TOU BUSY f ■v ~v.
