MORE WOMEN READERS IN CARS.
Change In Recent Years Noted by
New York Writer.

The increase in the proportion OF
women who read In elevated and sur
face cars in the past ten years is
striking, says the New York Press.
A rough computation show, at least
one In every five occupies herself with
book or magazine and about one in
ten with newspaper. The reason for
the difference Is that the average
woman prefers to do her newspaper
reading at home. Just why must be
sought in the grand answer to the
eternal feminine, unless the explana'
ton be that it is harder for woman
to hold paper steady than book.
Another reason may be that, what
with purse and parasol or umbrella,
a woman passenger seldom has both
hands free. But the percentage OF
readers among women in cars has
grown steadily in a decade. Ten
years ago the proportion was about
one in fifty, to make another rough
calculation from memory. And this
is taking them in bulk, shoppers and
callers as well as women who work.
The proportion of car readers among
working women alone is much greater

five nothing but cigars, 25 use pipes
