WHERE TO ESCORT.
Man Asks where to Place Himself
When lie Walks with LADY.

can anybody tell me for sure, said
the young man 10 a Boston Herald re-
porter. "on which side Of the lady
should place myself when we walk in the
public street,
I have q very clear notion about this
myself. say that the gentleman should
walk at the lady's left hand. she at his
right, for this reason:
1T is the custom in this country tor
people meeting 70 turn 70 the right
Now, in doing this. a man with a woman
on his right arm would present himself
as a shield against CrOwding or Intrusion
from anybody passing from the opposite
direction; IL their was a collision or
crovdinS on the passing side the man
would be here 70 take the shock. and the
woman would be held always safely
away from 1t. or even from the rUfling
OF her apparel
But people tell ne I'm foolish They
say the man ought always 10 walk on
the side Of the woman toward the curb,
no matter on which side Of her that
brings him, whether on the right or The
left The danger, they say, is on the
curb side, where the traffic IS. the horses
and trucks and wagons and carriages
and automobiles. and the mud spatters
and that sort Of thing: that it's always
on the side toward the curb that the
man wants 10 be
L think the idea is wrong; and then
the mans keeping always On the curb
side involves more or less changing
See what happen when they cross the
street and walk on Ike othe- side Then
the man has TO run around hes, doesn't
he? Change position then 70 get On the
outside, and what is more TiGi cUlOUS
than 10 see g man prancing around a
lady TO change from onc side % the
other to get next the cUrb3
mo, sir; I don't see the curb theory
at all. Ny idea is that the man should
walk with the lady at his right side al
ways; that in this way lie can be her
best protection and fender. But I would

which is right for sure"
