Finally his mother told him that to tip the hat was a token of respect, and if he failed to do so when a lady spoke to him she would not like it. He again kept mum, but it was plainly pictured on his countenance that he did not want to hurt the ladies' feelings and at the same time he did not want to lift his hat. It was again re- ported on him that he had failed to lift his hat when a lady had spoken to him.
