T is world-doctrine that kindness knows no sex, but: A fine adage must allow for exceptions, the same as regular rales: A man was huwrrying up the Avenue. A woman was rounding Ninth street. At the corner they ran into each other—Rump “Beg pardon. madam, touched his hat and rushed on. The woman stopped to look aftgr him with the expression that melodrama o ap- propriately terms & clare.

The young con duetor had another idea. If she would move up front she would have plenty of room. So the woman nudged her wag inside to find the aisle packed and jammed to the motorman’s perch As’ every brass loop in the rows of seats was in the clutch of some luck- jer .passenger. she wedged herself in and around the backs of fellow-suffer- until, happy chance, she ¢ p handle just vacated nother woman who was getting of the Treasury.

If I had my wi women would have to keep out of cars during rush hours.” 4vell, I suppose they have to rush, alopg with the rest of us, though I agree with vou, that it doesn’t look right to see a woman hanging to a strap—not my idea of what a wom- aniy woman ought to be doing. 1t didn't seem to occur to him that a woman must necessarily hang to a strap when the seats of a car are flled with men. Not that they haven't as much right to seats, of course, having paid for them. This| §s just telling what happened. And| for.further truth: If you will motice theiaverage run of passengers, women are just able to stand as men—in| most cases they are better equipped in the matter of health, for leaving out: the athletic class of men and the jazi-wearied flapper, the woman can | endure more, physically, and some- times mentally and morally, than the ordinary man of her age. There are some women, of course, whe make themselves dh;sreelbh it a man doesn’t jump up offer his car seat, but take them in a lump, a woman passenger takes her brass loop or ber strap as philosophically as any mah, and doesn't consider it neces- sary that he should rise to do her horor. The old feminine dependence has died out, just as old-time gallantry has gone bye-bye—both shoved into the! past by the nineteenth amend- ment! Forever? Mavbe, ves, and maghe, no, seeing that old fashions sometimes return. The one thing really worth telling shout in this incident was a man's criticism of a woman for holding on 1o & car strap when most of the car meats were filled with men! Wasn't it enough to make the shade of your grandfather grit his teeth? Alz‘fln‘ shades have them to grit s with. % x % EECLID would doubtiess warn us { that mathematics is a rigid study not;to be trified with. but all the same: In the eum of everyday life, one must be mble to add 2 and 2 together and make 5 of it, or miss a Jot of honest fun—with this for a small {llustration: A citizen just back from a world tour wag talking over the trip to a couple of men at a dinner in a hotel.
