Street Etiquette.


1t is decidedly ill-bred to eat
anything, even confectionery, in the
street.
No woman, unless in feeble
health, should cling to a mans
arm during a daylight stroll.
Do not discuss politics, religion
or love affairs in a public convey
ance.
Personal matters should never be
introduced at a chance meeting if the
third party is not conversant with
the facts.
No lady will accept a seat vacated
by a gentlemen for her convenience
without giving in return a smile, a
bow, or thanks.
Never swing your arms when
walking unless quite outside the
town. If free from observation this
will be found an excellent means to
help locomotion.
Bandying words with an employe
of a company is mere waste of time.
Should he be insolent or unreason-
able take his number and complain
to those in authority.

Dear Sir,

In enumerating the undeveloped re-

has not hitherto received adequate attention,
but which our observation ond experience lead
us to believe would be a most promising and
productive field. We refer to the Cultivation
of the Female Mind.
We recently read of . Miss Cozens, who
thought dynamite just the thing to bring
men to their senses and the recent case of
murder furnishes an additional object lesson
on the potentialities of @lLdeveloped emale
character.
All men have mothers..som have sisters,
wives, and daughters, and therefore should be
concerned in the welfare of the fr;rer sex.
Until recently, all legislation was done by
men, and consequently the rights~of women
were often overlooked, and we in ST.. Croix
have, in one in stancebeen victims to thesseem-
ingly selfeh Legislation of men.
That women have throughout all ages ex-
erted an irresistible influence on the affairs of
the world, can"ot oe denisd even by the least
. thoughtful. His DRY teens with examples, of
which We will sele. t a few.
