Bad Manners of Good People By VIRGINIA TERHUNB VAN DE WATER. ^ {rpHE bad manners of good people astonish me!” ex claimed a woman. I looked at her In surprise. Surely good peo ple’s manners are no worse than those of bad people—In fact, 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. I am sorry to >» say that I often have cause to blush t for my own sex. When I see men 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 Bhe w^ould “rather stand,” and, at last, number one drops 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 woman standing in the aisle—“Pray, j Madam, take my seat.” She took 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 wh*> re ceives this attention does say “Thank you!” or “You are very kind!” or “I am much obliged to you!” I am not in a position to say how often a man receives such return for his courtesy, but many of the men whom I have consulted on this matter tell « me that th£ women who utter no word of acknowledgment in such in- , stances are more numerous than those w'ho do. What about the men who do not rise when women are standing? There are so many of them that one takes them for granted. Some of them, ostrich-like, hide their heads behind the morning or evening pa pers, and seem to feel that so long as they do not show their faces their lack of courtesy is not observed. Seem Too Absorbed. ' Others have not the grace to wish to conceal their features or to try to seem too absorbed to notice the women who 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 ma’rk 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 clerkj^ or grimy- handed working men. Bfcut 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 w r ay, one must go with the mass. So I do not criti cise that state of afTairs, 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. Watoh them rush Into the swing- doors of the shops, heedless of the perron coming behind w'ho may be ; struck by the heavy door as it slams shut; notice the women w r ho push others aside at counters; observe the customers w'ho are disagreeable to the saleswomen (we will not dis cuss 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 who 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 rotns late to dinners, who are never pune- I 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 jve have mentioned are at least hardly kind. We are not discussing the bi* discourtesies, rough speeches, disgust ingly bad manners, outrages against good breeding. But one wonders if many excellent people might not pat- more heed to the trifles, the little considerations which, in public and private, are the drops of oil in the machinery of life that make it run smoothly and without Jar Too Much Liquid. Farmer Jenkins believed in the good old-fashioned idea of giving all the farm hands and laborers a real good Christmas feed at the festive season. So he determined to give them something to remember last year, and ordered the feast to start with soup, to be followed by goose, roast beef and unlimited supplies of plum pudding. The farm hands duly assembled, and, having fasted all day so as to be in good trim for the Christmas feed, were prepared to make the supplies look foolish. Roast goose and beer were all they expected. “’Ere, what's this 'ere?” said a dis appointed son of toil when a huge plate of soup was placed before him. "You’ve forgotten the goose and stuf- 1 fin'; 1 don't wan' all gravy!"
