A-great many of our worthy citizens re- turning from abroad complain bitterly of our manners in public, especially {f we happen to be policemen or con- examples of what we should strive to attain, hore, ing, sovereign American citizen to grovel and serape and look and to please those persons who constantly feel the need of assurances from others that they are as grand folk as they would like to think themselves, Seraping and cringing aro in thelr way as bad manners for a human being as are arrogance and impertinence. And as far as im- ¢ | pertinence is concerned, the policeman who yells “Move on!” or the | conductor who shouts “Step lively!” or the saleswoman who yawns in your face and says “Hey?” is not a bit more| ® ©! who stares and tulks loudly at the play or the opera, Indeed, the formor are leas impertinent than the latter, One ean say in ex couse for them, “Poor eveatures, they mean well, but they do not know any better.” One must say of the impudent “lady” that she neither means well nor knows better, A man doc: not become a saint becanse he gets a placo as ticket-seller, policeman, elevator man or the like, If his patience is tried, if his breakfast sits ill, if those whom he serves are insult- ing, he will show temper and, being an American and not a member of the “lower classes” in some monarchy, he will not content himself with gritting his teeth and raging inwardly. It is unfortunate, it is reprehensible, that he has human weak nesses, But is it not to an extent excusable ¢ Manners consist of intention and form, On this basis Ameri can mannors grade at about 90 per cent, in intention and about 10 fier cont. in form; European manners grade much lower in intention and very much higher in form in France, a little higher in England and greatly lower in Germany, But when all the snobbishness and nonsense and unthinking grumbling is left out of account, the fact still remains that we in New York are not 40 polite as we ought to be. We are only too unmindful of our own, igi ty and self-reapect, only too heedless of our self interest, only too ignorant of our duties as citizens of the foremost city in civilization, To begin with, thero is entirely too much of the “Mm just as good as you aro” cheap insolence, This is perhaps due to the fact that many of us cannot get used to the democratic idea of the dig nity of the sovereign among sovereigns, At any rate, these 1 . whether they live far from or near to the Avenue, should A dignity that has to be angrily and rudely insisted upon is a dignity that doos not exist, Of conrae you are just as good as anybody else, Amd any one who says or insinu- ates that you are not should not be gratified by a confirmation of his sneor in your display of your sneaking suspicion that he is right. He re oe Se OUR MANNERS CAN AND OUGHT TO WK BETTER, ere a citi ‘should be treated with amused forbearance, ‘Thon, too little attention is paid to the forms of politeness. The conductor does not know that itis rude to yell, to throw shango and transfers at passengers, to omit “please” and “thank you,” to om- hrace the women as they get on of off his ear, Tho shop girl forgets that she ts the representative of the house and too often patterns her manners upon thote of the underbrod among the customers, The policoman disregards his position as a pattern of public “good form,” he the chivalrous protector of the weak, the courteous guide to strangers. Those matters can and should be corrected more rapidly than they are now correcting, ‘The executives of the public departments, of the big shops and corporations ought to pro- vide special courses in manners, For instance, it would handsomely pay any big shopkeeper to have practical instruc tion in manners for his employees. But the most serious fault of all fs with the men and women who by education ought to be models of good manners, Some of But how very, very many are patterns of rudeness and A PLAN FOR them are, vulgarity!

It is extremely diffioult to have good manners in a democracy, Any one can easily be a snob, a lookerup and « looker-down, But how very difficult it is to be « simple, unaffected man or woman, considerate, courteous, looking all other men and women straight in the eyes and saying: “You are certainly as good as Tam.
