Not long ago something was said on
the woman's page of the Boston Her
aid concerning the behavior of girls
and the frequent cause of complaint
against them for bad manners. There
Is still something to be said but on
| quite on another side of the matter.
and that is the need that girls should
he exacting in the manners of the
| young men who are their companions.
as well as they should be careful of
their own.
Quite how far girls are responsible
for the behavior of the men with
whom they associate one cannot say,
but 1t Is In much larger degree than
Is generally supposed. and 1t is not too
much to say that girls cannot be too
strict in their demands. Little lapses
of manner should not go unrebuked
else larger ones may follow.
OF course it is conceded that the
girl requires little courage some
times, and the young woman breads to
give offence or have herself dubbed
naughty and disa agreeable. but this
should not for moment deter her
from holding her associates of the
other sex to the standard of manners
which she should set high.
Some young men have an abominable
practice Of touching n young woman
unwarrantably: they will take hold of
her arm on the street to help her over
gutter or IN Il stair when there is
not the slightest need for assistance.
1t Is only exceptionally expected now.
ndays that man should offer his arm
to Il lady with whom he is walking at
night.
At n dance not long ago q young
girl seated herself, following a waltz,
in large arm chair, whercupon her
partner perched himself upon the arm.
Instantly the girl arose and. not daring
to say anything, rebuked the offender
by look. The young man also rose
up quickly and begged her pardon. 1t
is quite safe TO say that his manner
will never be lax in the presence of
that girl again.
Another girl was seen at the same
dance permitting her partner to fan
her with her fan. which was attached
to her belt by rather short ribbon.
She should have detached the fan and
handed it to him outright. The fan
ming was perfectly admissible. but the
too apparent familiarity was un-
pleasant in this case.
Girls should not only be dignified in
their own behavior. but command dig
nifty from those by whom they are
surrounded. Besides, young men really
often err through ignorance, and if
they are of the right stuff. and are
worth making friends of, they will be
grateful for little lessons given with
courtesy that is yet absolutely unmis-
taxable.
