A BLACKBOARD betrays himself by
his want of good breeding, while
gentleman's manners prevent his
being mistaken for a blackguard.
A lady is never rude, undignitied
coarse, or selfish; but a woman
without good breeding, is a mixture
of rudeness, selfishness, cOarseness
and want of dignity. The lady
commands respect by her good
breeding and dignity; the woman.
devoid of good breeding, is a rough
hewn female tough, and invites
men to treat her with a familiarity
void of respect.
San Antonio can furnish speci.
mems of well-bred women, and of
ill-bred women. By what sign can
you distinguish them, one from the
other? The well.bred woman
maintains her self-respect and ex.
act respect from all men by her
dignity, and good breeding; the
ill-bred woman is crop between
a romp and tough, without dig
nifty, and invites men to talk to
and treat her, with a degree Of ia
mi iarity, degrading to her.
Women that allow men to treat
them with familiarity, which
means a lack of respect, are the
ones who furnish grist for the di-
vorce mills. Men had better work
in single harness thousand years
than to Try double harness with a
woman who invites men to treat
her with familiarity.
Can any one give sound reason,
why women should leave their
good breeding at home when they
go out on the streets, on a shop
ping tour. or course not since a
well-bred woman shows her breed
ing at all times, and under all cir
cumstances, among gentlemen and
among clowns and blackguards.
l am shocked daily by the utter
want Of good breeding, or good
manners, displayed by preten
tiOnously dressed women on the
streets. They are disgustingly
rude and selfish. They imagine
the sidewalks were made for them,
and that none but themselves
have right to walk on them.
They will stop on a street cross.
ing or a sidewalk, and chat for
fifteen minutes, and force all foot
passengers to get out into the
streets.
Good breeding or politeness, is a
due regard for the comfort, con-
and rights of all other
persons, rich and poor. A selfish
man or woman is therefore, desti.
tute OF good breeding or politeness,
since they think only of them
selves.
Hundreds of pretentious and
gorgeously dressed women,
habituaIly display on the street,
an utter contempt for the elemen-
tary principles and rules of good
breeding, good manners, since
they are disdainfully Disregard
full OF the convenience, comfort and
rights OF all whom they meet on
the streets.
