what Woman is Said to Have Done


Yes said veteran conductor, SO
great many women do tlirt on the cars
| suppose that time hangs heavily on
their hands during long journey, and
they hardly know what to do with them
selves. Under the circumstances it is
quite natural for them to fall into con
versation with their fellow travellers of
the opposite sex, and having made a be.
ginning it is very easy for them to be-
come silly Let me tell you about the
worst case of flirting | ever saw. 1t was
about two years ago down in Ohio. On
my train was a young woman dressed in
deep mourning, and at the beginning of
her journey having a heavy black veil
over her face. She was apparently of a
lively disposition-a cheerful soul, Away
disposed to look on the bright side of
life and to make the best even of unfav-
orable circumstances and it was not
long before she removed the veil. Soon
afterward she began looking around at
heI fellow passengers, ard in an hour or
two | saw hor in animated conversation
with handsome young drummer from
Chicago"
They talked and laughed and exohang-
ed cards and really grew quite fond of
each other, and for all know made ar
rangemennts TO carry on correspond
ence. This was bad enough in
itself but what made it all the
worse was the fact that the woman's hus-
band was on the same train ahead in the
baggage car
