A MANS ULTIMATE VICTORY
Elderly Passengers Actions Upheld by
Fellow Travellers, Who Enjoyed the
Episode Hugely-Sweeping Glance Of
ScOTn From the Defeated One.

A handsome white-haired gentleman
and a short stout lady had a wordy en-
counter in Pennsylvania Avenue street
car this morning. greatly TO the amuse-
ment Of the passengers and the discOm-
future Of the woman concerned.
The trouble arose over whether the
front door Of the trolley should be closed
or not. The lady, who was sitting at one
side Of the door, wanted il open to "Iet
in some fresh air" The gentleman, sit
ting directly opposite her, wanted the
door closed. as did the other passengers,
TO keep out the ccId wind.
The Car Door in Action.
The gentleman got on the car in
Georgetown In the neighborhood Of
Washington Circle the lady came aboard
and sat beside the door. The man closed
the door and settled back to read his pa
per. In less than a minute the woman
reached over and pulled the door wide
open.
The gentleman with the snowy locks
merely turned up his coat collar and said
nothing. Presently. however the car
grew UnpIoasantly cold. The man looked
around az his fellow passengers and saw
that they were on locking uncOmfOrtably
toward the door. Then he reached out
and closed it.
Some Feminine Bangs.
The woman promptly opened it again
with a bang. Her countenance grew
frigid and took on an insulted express
sion. She glared defantIy about her, as
much as 10 intimate that she had
tongue-Iashing IN store for anyone who
provoked her wrath.
The gentleman quietly folded his pa
per, and after placing il in his pocket
shut the door
Sir" exclaimed the irate lady, "will
you be so kind as 90 allow us TO have a
little fresh air. II is sufocatiug in here. ="
but / see by the looks Of the other
passengers" replied the gentleman pO-
litely. that they find # very unpleasant
having the door open
No Rest for the Door.
The woman clutched the handle and
opened the door once =aore-
4 don't care" she almost screamed
I've paid my fare. and I'm going to have
this door open. ! can't suffOcate to ac-
commodate these cold-blooded people"
But I insist on having IL closed
madame" firmly replied the man oppO-
site. and again he quickly closed the door
This time be kept his digits on the handle
so that the woman could not again open
the door.
BY this time the other passengers were
thoroughly awake 10 the comic aspect CT
the novel contest, and we're enjoying the
scene TO their hearts content.
Young Americas Advice.
Two small boys standing on the rear
platform were the most interested spec
tators Of the lot. One Of the youngsters
thrust his head in the rear door and
yelled: Give il to her. misterl"
This was the prOverbial last straw THAI
broke the cancels back. The indignation
OF the stout lady broke all bounds and
her eyes swept the pas sengers with IN
yelled contempt.
