TEXAS ChIvALRY
BADLY SHAKEN
"Hats On" Sign in the Elevators
outrases Time-Honored
Customs.

Houston, Texas, Jan. From the
time woman first entered Texas brute
man has been more chivalrous. Chiv-
airy among Southern gentlemen is no
better exemplified than in Texas and
it is so inherent 1t stamps the Texan
wherever he is. When the elevators
came he dotted his hat when wo-
man entered a cage and smothered
the unbreathed thoughts that mount
ed to his brain when in the crush his
derby was telescoped. When the
escalators came he hesitated wheth-
err to bare his head, but confusedly
believed he would leave it on when
he realized how singular it would be
to remove his hat should he meet
strange lady walking instead of rid
ing the steps.
The coming skyscrapers to Houston
has lifted in part the mans burden.
Rencently a 16-story office building
operating four elevators displayed in
each cage the following sign:
Gentlemen Will Please Keep Hats
On in the Elevator.
Confusion followed. Some needed
the sign and some dared the building
superintendent to make him put his
hat back on his head. Houston was
stirred and some of the unmarried
element avoided the building or
mounted the steps or coasted the
banisters.
One man said the example set was
brave. why should | take my hat
off in an elevator to a lady | have

do it on the street or in a street car
