INNOCENTS ABROAD.
Home-Bred Women Utterly Helpless or
Street Cars.

Men have n very annoying way of
ridiculing woman's inability to find
her way about in unaccustomed places,
and, indeed, you can hardly blame
them, says the Philadelphia Times. A
home-bred woman alone in 4 strange
locality wears an air of hopeless help
lessnesS that can only be equaled by
her feelings. Watch her as she makes
timid entrance into one of the bic
business buildings. She whispers her
quest apologelically to the janitor. who
directs her Third corridor to the
right, fifth door down." and she dashes
wildly down the second corridor 10 the
left and gazes blaukly at the collection
OF unfamiliar names on the third
door until some pasSer-by sets her
right.
And, if YOU have noticed, women
have remarkable propensity for ply
inc the passing stranger with innum-
cradle questions, in railway stations,
for instance, where all sorts of infor-
nation is posted up, in uumistakable
terms.
1t isn't really 4 difficult thing to
pilot yourself about. though. you
know. The city fathers and business
corporations post up a variety of GEN
eral information for the benefit of an
inquiring public, and there isn't any
earthly reason why a woman should
not steer herself through strange
streets and tortuous buildings rs sue

man always stops for an instant and
takes a mprehensive view of his sit
GatiOn. He takes note of finger boards
or consults the directory by the door,
and if he has 10 ask information
he doesn't hail the first conner, who
may be even more ignorant of the
neigh borhOOd than himself, but he
looks up somebody with uniform or
! an official air, or something to distin-
9uish him from the uniformed mass
es, and asks all necessary questions of
| that somebody and follows his dlrec-

to ask the final question Of the con-
ductor as YOU are getting on the car.
There is great deal in looking about
