LAWS OF THE RoAp.--An inquirer,
(pro5ably a victim whose shins have been
injured by metallic hoops,) asks the edi-
tor o. the Lewiston Jmrnal:
When two ladies on a narrow sidewalk
meet a gentlemen, what is the duty of the
left hand lady? Ought she to fall behind
her companian or march boldly ahead and
compel the gentleman to take the street
Please answer through your paper.
To which the editor says:
A true lady will always in such a case
fall behind her companion, thus yielding
sufficient of the sidewalk for any person
whom She may meet to pass; the woman
devoid OF lady-likc qualities will always
usurp the whole sidewalk, and if she is
particularly i'll bred, will express satisfac-
ton at her exhibition Of rudcness by an
audible gieeIe or an air Of superiority in
dicatine entire Indifference as to what in
convenience she may subject others to.
