in-the-Way. Every one has seen him. He
is going to get on the car. and he stands
there with his hand on the guard-the
one the woman should grasp in getting
on-he has a hungry anxious expression
on his face. as If it was matter OF
life and death not to let that car get
away from him or let any one get on be-
fore him. Sometimes, to be sure, il is the
Woman-in-the2s Way, but it sounds better
to say man, aud he is there OFTEN
enough, and whoever is there it is i'm
! possible to get off the car in the proper
way without stepping on them. Now the
thing for some enterprising New York
car company to do is to put up pictures
of the proper and improper way for the
Man-to-Get-On TO stand while passengers
are leaving the car The only trouble Is

out of place to dress the subjects of the
pictures in scarlet. However, some good

men were all at their beck and call.

once heard society girls compared by
clever, albeit somewhat impertinent man
of the world, to frogs in the pond. The
very young ones he said, stayed near the
shore and piped in shril staccato, No
man good enough! No man good enough!
The next lot. representing girls Of several
seasons, sat on logs further out in the
water and croaked in deeper tones "Oh,
for a man! Oh, for man. while the still
older ones, like the regular old bullfrogs,
drowned in chorus ANY man good

MY allegory seems TO amuse the
company greatly, but when their laughter
had subsided one impudent little thing
called out: Where do you come in, NJ. SIS
Smith? 1 was rather taken aback at
this, for, to tell the truth, | had never
thought of any possible application to
myself. OF course, the little wretches be
self in the category of those who ejacu-

amid the general merriment. L think the
fourth lot, TO which | belong, are those
who are thoroughly emancipated, and
their croak should be I'VE want no man
