STREbT ETIQUETTE-WAL klNs WITH LA
pIEs.-Only villagers OF persons WIN rural
ideas any longer contend that ladies should
always be given the inside OF the pavement
in nassing. The rule adopted in ciiies IS 10
,urn TO the right, whether the right leads 10
he wall or to the gutter, and an Observance
nj this common sense rule would oOvlaie
much unpleasant scrouging" by ovcr;gal-
liant gentlemen who perslstently crowd ior
The outside of the walk. Another common
custom, and required by fashionable ell
ouette. and one which is nearly as ineXplica'
lie and absurd, is the practice of Whole
string OF men filing out of q church pew,
making themselves as ridiculous as an
i awkward squad practicing at = catching
step. in order to give woman the wrong
end of the pew, is that of man, when on a
nromenade or walk with lady, to keel
himself on the outside OF the pavement. A
little exercise of Judgment will convince any
nerson OF The utter uselessness OF this hob

common rule is this II man and womal
