Gibson styles have become exceedingly
popular and appear to gain admirers as the
season advances. While worn at all ages
they are never more attractive han upon
children, as the broad-shouldered effect
suits them perfectly. This very smart ex-
ample is shown in pale blue pique with
bands of fancy black and white braid on
collar and cuffs and belt of white kid and
is worn by a little girl. but the design suits
tiny boys equally well and belts of the
material can be substituted when preferred.
In addition to piques in white and colors
mercerized duck, black satin and both black
and white MORE velorers are in vogue.
The coat is fitted by means of shoulder
and under-arm seams, the plated portions
which give the Gibson effect being ap-
piled over the foundation. Above the waist

a furious ringing OF the telephone bell and
an excited voice which said:

GALLANTRY AND POLITENEsS.
A MOoted Question Discussed on "A
Hotel Veranda.

At the Denison last night a group of
people on the balcony were discussing the
characteristics of some men in regard to
gallantry and p~oliteness. 81 never give
my seat in a car TO a woman any more"
said a man. Il don't believe 1t pays to do
it unless it is an aged woman, or some one
who is i'll and absolutely not able to help
himself"
That's right" replied a young matron.
Il don't believe any man ought TO. The
modern women can get along about as well
as any man. and just because all the men
in the car don't jump up when l get on
is no Indication that 1 should think them
lacking in politeness and respect
We'll. l don't agree witt you" said a
dark-eyed girl. Il believe that every wom-
an expects a man to get up and give her
a seat If the car is crowded. At least, she
respects him If he does. l am reminded of
a story related about the late Zerelda Wal
lace. She was in New York one time and
happened to get on a car that was crowded.
She carried all sorts of boxes and bundles,
and was very tired. There wasn't a vacant
seat, and the car was filled with men.
Mrs. Wallace was compelled to stand in
the aisle and hold her bundles. She looked
around TO see If a man would give her his
scat, but she saw nothing encouraging.
Finally she remarked in a very sweet
voice, but loud enough for everybody TO
hear: There do not seem to be any West
ern gentlemen in this car This observa-
ton brought ten men TO their feet, and
Mrs. Wallace speedily had a comfortable
seat"
Recently 1 was in New York" the girl
continued, land had occasion TO get on a
car near the Battery and ride up town.
