DIFFERENCE
TO WOMEN

In many foreign cities there is a
marked absence of the gallantry that
In this country habitually character
ICES the attitude OF men toward wo.
men. In Berlin or Paris an unescor-

from molestation. Men would pre-
sumo upon her unprotected condition
to annoy her. The offenders woald
not be from the humble walks OF
life' but of n sort to resent the i'm
putation that they were not gentle.

Eleanor Gates. young American
writer who has Travelled widely IN the
United States. says that Difference TO.

should there receive an insult is al
most beyond belief. and affront could
be offered only at the peril of the

garded as common enemy. and be
held accountable by his fellows.
This rule set forth by Miss Gates
logically fits the conclusion that New
York Is the most ungallant city I'm
the United States. It is not alone
that the rush OF mere existence there
tends TO cause forgetfulness of the
niceties OF life, but with the intimate
contact with European manners there
has been an infusion OF the alien
