MEN DIFFERENT IN SOUTH
FROM THOSE IN NORTH
BY EDNA CAIN.

Because men in New York do not
always give up their seats to women in
crowded street cars they have gained
9he reputation Of being lacking in prop
er courtesy.
am not so sure this reputation is
really deserved. My observations are
limited to a few weeks. but in this
time / have seen the New York man
from various viewpoints, and 1 am not
sure, really, that he deserves to be
called ungaIlant o. inattentive TO women.
II seems 10 me that his attitude is
rather satisfactory than otherwise. The
matter OF giving up seats in street cars
Is more or less superficial. anyway,
and is not al all illustrative of the
spirit of The New York man. In the
first place some men do give up their
seats. / have a seat given me oftener
than I have TO stand. and / have heard
ether women say the same thing. But.
of course, il Is not invariably the case.
Business Women Must Make Good.
In the South we have always heard
that the woman IN business here has
a very hard time, and that the men
with whom she comes in contact in a
business way do not show the consid-

And live the old life over

And battle In the Hmped water.

To gather the lilies white and blue

To sleep and dream and live Ger anew

And gather the same sweet flowers.
