to stand whie the occupied by the opposite

attention OF foreigners but only OF foreigners who just
arrive IN the city, for these foreigners will not
give their seats lady, whoever she may be, after
they have been residing this city for years;
and American men "wno" am sure. .are not detc-
riorating" behave in the same way. Tho reason OF
this is very readily understood American ladies', with
very lew exceptions, think that they have right TO
seats occupied by tho other and generally they do
not even thank the gentleman who Is kind enough to
gvo them his place. have read somo time ago In an
evening paper o this city Il do not remember whether

female clothes had his discovered because he
thanked q gentleman who offered him seat" Let tho
American ladies tako into consideration thnt for man
who has bccn working down town during the whole
