bIen Who Are Standing VIII Surrender
Rights to a Seat almost Invariably.
''Have you ever noticed, asked an OBJ
serving young woman, chow much
potter men are who are standing up in
streetcars than men who are sitting
DOWN"
l confessed that 1 had not, says
New York Herald writer
"Well, you watch, ard you will find
out that am right. 1t is comparatively
seldom that 1 enter a crowded car and
have man rise to offer me his seat. Most
men settle themselves comfortably,
stick their noses more deeply into their
newspapers and pretend they don't see
me hanging fast to the strap. But ifany-
one should then vacate seat and man
was standing by it, the chances are fifty
to one that he would becl1on me to
come over and take it rather than sit
down himself.
''Now, this isn't imagination. I've
noticed it scores of times. think men
go on the principle that possession
is snine-tenths of the law, or rather,
might say, nine-tenths of politeness.
Whata man has he keeps, and he says:
Hang politeness" But if he is already
standing it is just as easy for him to
keep on standing, and in that case po-
liteness has some show with him.
I'm not talking nonsense now" she
went on, with merry laugh. I'm
talking fact, and if you don't believe it
