A Partisan newspaper says that it shows
a want of good breeding for a lady To per
init gentleman to give her his seat in a
crowded public conveyance and adds:
Nothing can be more annoying for seated
travellers than this mutual exchange Of so
called courtestus and congratulations which
goes on at their knees and threatens their
feet, perhaps more or less afflicted with
.cOrns Remain seated, gentlemen. Re
main seated" If the Frrnchman who
wrote this had ever gone through the ex-
perience OF having lady decline scat lie
offered, he might write another chapter
about the want of good breeding in refus-
ing well meant courtcsies Of strangers The
New Jersey commuters who cross the fer
ries during the rush hours have solved the
difficulties of this whole pcrplexing mat
ter in thoroughly democratic way. When
"A gentleman on acrow1rd boat secs u lady
approaching who he thinks wond uppreci-
ate seat, he waits till she is nearly oppo-
site to him, aud then without demonstra-
ltion Of any sort he simply rises and goes
out on the deck. The lady is free TO sit
down or stand up, us she prefers, and the
gentleman runs no risk of a snub.--kew
