For an instant last Saturday Mr..
Harry Lehr was probably in greater
danger than ever before in his life.
While his face paled. Miss Cynthia
Roche. who sat beside him in his car
rlage. seemed almost unconcerned.
though she later confessed to her
friends that she was frightened.
Mr.. Lehr, with Miss Roche, whom he
had invited to join him in a drive to
Bailey's Beach, at Newport, got into
the Lehr carriage in front of the Ca
sino at noon. when the street crush is
greatest there. The coachman turned
out into the street abruptly and with
out needing the approach Of a large
Mercedes automobile filed with tour
lists from arragansett Pier.
For a moment it appeared that the
fast going automobile would surely
strike Mr.. Lehr's carriage. light vic
toria, directly between the wheels,
where the occupants would be in most
danger. His coachman was. however,
equal to the emergency. and the horses
did their part in averting the accident.
In the automobile, too, they were ac-
tive, but Mr.. Lehr's horses yielded to
a dexterous reigning in and they back

'As the woman in Eastern Europe

them, not the women. If invitations
are sent out to wedding they are

GIRLS TOO STRENUOUS
THE MODERN GIRL SOMETIMES
CARRIES ATHLETICS TOO FAR
Respect For Older Persons Is Advised.
Women Should Not Shop in the
Afternoon and Stay Down Town Late.

Don't be too strenuous. girls. AL
though the masculine, athletic girl has
been quite a fad, she has had her in
nings, and the quiet lady-like girl Is
now considered very restful and pleas
ant. The loud, noisy girl is always
little tiresome, and after an afternoon
spent with one Of those active girls
with bubbling spirits you feel as II
you would like to go away somewhere
and have long, deep sleep. If you
wish to be interesting to your men
friends, don't know too much-that Is,
don't appear to know much. Hang on
their words and cultivate being good
listener. Men always consider the
woman who listens to them with her
eyes riveted upon their faces, as one Of
the most Intelligent of her sex. 1t is
the rare man who likes woman who
knows a great deal. Your mental ca
pacity will be sufficient if it is in in
verse ratio to your good looks. A very
pretty girl does not have to know much.
All of which wise advice will not cost
you a cent?
There is one charm which a girl
should have and which, alas! she does
not always possess in these modern
days, and that is a respect for old per-
sons It is astonishing to seas one
does in cars and in shops-how re-
markedly careless are young women
about the small courtesieS to the aged
which should come naturally to every
welI-bred girl. If you have real feel
ing for age you will not limit your
kindness to those who are well dressed
or who appear to be we'll placed in life.
A yong girl dressed in the height OF
fashion once gave her seat in car to
a crippled wood sawyer, and she did 1T

young men who were seated fell like

Immediately rose to give her seat,
but she motioned them back and re-
fused There is, however another side
to the seat-giving business in cars.
When man has worked hard all day
and is tired, he is entitled to seat in
the cars in the evening, and the woman
who has been belated and is going home
from shopping expedition should
hesitate before accepting his seat. If
possible, women should do their shop
ping in the morning and not be down
town as late as 6 in the evening. With
women who work it is quite a different
matter and they cannot be blamed for
sitting down when possible. And yet
no matter how much women may argue
to themselves about the right of men
to retain their seats-Which no one dis
puteS-in their hearts they feel a con-
tempt for the man who will sit when
lady is standing. This is all wrong, but
It is so. The presence of women in so
many offices and business houses, while
it has undoubtedly had a refining in
fluence upon men, has also served to
break down the barriers somewhat, and
men do not pay the small attentions to
women which they. used to do and
which mean so much. Men don't throw
their cloaks for women to step upon in
crossing a muddy street any more. Now
don't wear cloaks Heigh-ho! the
world do move.
