A lady boarded car 212 of the Franklin
avenue line recently and sat directly op-
posite the stove. A gentleman was with
her. After riding block she told her
escort that the heat of the car was un-
bearable, and at her suggestion they
moved nearer the door. A passenger
soon got on and the conductor coming
in to collect his fare she asked him to
open a ventilator. He did SO politely.
Soon the lady raped on the door with
her umbrella.
"Please turn the dampcr in the stove"
said she.
Certainly, madam" said the conduc-
tor, and the damper was turned.
( In a few minutes the lady began
tanning herself vigorously with hymn
book, and remarked that conductors
didn't seem to have any Judgment about
heating cars"
AT this juncture the conductor re-en-
tered the car for another fare and the
lady said with asperity:
Conductor, wish you would leave
that door open. The heat from that stove
is positively oppressing."
II am sorry to say SO, madam. but
there has been no fire in that stove to-
day." said the conductor, and the ther-
mometer instantly fell twenty degrees
