Bad Manners In Street Cars.-As rule
people are disposed to be decent and consider
ate even while they are travelling, says the
Baltimore San. Some time ago street cars
were made dangerous to health and most dis
gushing by the splitting habit Public sentl-
ment was directed against this abuse, and it
has stopped. woman can now walk from
one end of street car to another without trail
ing her skirts in spit. Now that this great re-
form has been accomplished public sentiment
might venture on a crusade against another
abuse to wit, the leg GRO sing habit. 1t is one
of the most annoying of all the bad manners
one sees on the cars When lady goes into
one of the long street cars she cannot reach
seat in the forward end without wiping the
dirty soles of dozen shoes upon her gown
great many of the passengers who offend in
this particular do it thoughtlessly, for they are
evidently gentlemen who would upon no &C.
count be rude and unmannerly to lady in q
private house. But sin is wrought by want of
thought as well as want of heart, and good man
ners in a street car are of even more lmpor-
lance than in q private parlOr, as the com
fort of more persons is concerned. If man
should put bis muddy feet in lady's lap in a
private house or use lady's gown to wipe his
Ieet on he would, of course. be excluded from
the society Of self respecting people. Why,
then, does public sentiment tolerate in street
car what IS practically the same Offense? IT is
annoying to men in walking through the aisle
of street car to run the gauntlet of a long ar
ray of muddy shoes elevated two feet from the
floor. But man by lifting The skirt of his
overcoat up to his waist can escape the worst.
The chief sufferers are ladies.
