YOUR TRUE COMMUTER.
de Must Be BY Nature n Man Who
Takes to Routine.


Your true commutcr must be by ma
sHre man who takes 10 routine.
There are some who have commuted
for a quarter century or more AMI yet
have not acquired the trick and never

tiers TO the newspapers. airing their
grievances against the heartless rail-
road corporations. They are not born
commuters. They have had communal
ton thrust upon them. But many real
ly enjoy the life OF the commuSer.
They Ike the clocklike regularity.
They Ike the pleasant social aspect OF
the early morning trip 10 town, the
nelghbOrly interest IN one another's af-
fairs, the ample time for reading the
newspapers. which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged 10 get
an early start. They look forward To
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game on the way home, with head on
one side 10 keep the smoke out Of their
eyes. some of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in
the morning.
In time all who work IN New York

man with Il family il appears to be in
many ways n happy solution OF Il diff
cult problem. Undoubtedly IL is 4 more

the year round. The commuter devoteS
the best part of the day 20 one narrow
corner of the city. The rest OF his
time not consumed on the train Is in
still more narrowing atmosphere OF the
suburbs. He neither gets all the way
into the life OF the city nor clean out
Into the country. So his view OF things
has neither the perspective OF robust
rurality nor the sOphistication Of a man

nature is only halfway. His urbanlty

instatement. The entries received from
Durnell were. therefore, In violation OF
rule s..
The matter was laid upon the table
