How Chivalry Survives.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
Chivalry up to date is amusingly ex-
emplified on the South Side trolley lines
In an older day il was obligatory upon
a man to arise and give his seat in q
street car to woman. The feminine
invasion Of industry at length wore of
the fine bloom of this courtesy, and the
custom as custom has practically van
ished upon many car lines in the city
But for the honor of our manhood We
are glad TO note that a substitute code
has grown up in its place.
Nowadays men III crowded car do
not make break for any seat that
becomes empty through the exit of a
passenger. Instead, they stand like Spar
tans waiting until the nearest woman
can have her attention attracted to the
vacancy and move dignfiedly forward to
fill it. This custom is not so inconyeni-
ent, not SO self-sacrificing. not SO gallant
as the peremptory rule which it has SUI
perseded. Still, it retains the rubin ants
of an ancient chivalry, and for even a
shadowy survival of romance in the
daily life of this rugged city the gentle
ideaiist may ever be thankful.

The Strength of Women.
