By FRANCES sHAFFER.

They call 1t Dutch treat"-probably
somebody knows why--the trick of pay
ing ones own way, treating ones sell
and being quite independent.
And some folk like II, while some deem
II small, even stingy.
There's the carfare habit.
When semi-friends, or those even clos
err meet on the car. one pays the fare,
the other smilingiy puts his nickel in his
pocket, just as II II was the most ordi-
nary courtesy. man to man or man to
woman.
But-do you like It?
Suppose it Is a man and a woman who
meet.
The man, IL he happens to sit near
her. feels courtesy-bound, habit-bound or
otherwise impelled to pay for both. If
he is minded bravely to hand out sin
gle fare, he wonders IL lie will not be
counted lacking in courtesy or ignorant
Of custom. And. since he does not care
to be accused of either-or possibly he
wants to pay-he does as others have
done before him. and pays for the woman
because he happened to meet her.
Embarrassing to both.
But 1t Is senseless sort Of custom.
sometimes embarrassing to the man and
equally embarrassing TO the woman.
IT Is not a question of the money in
volved. for that is very Insignificant. but
II custom makes him pay her carfare
because he sits beside her-why not her
theater tickets II he meets her in the
line? Why not drop in contribution
for her at the church. and why not pay
her railway fare II they chance to meet
while buying tickets for a longer trip?
II these are foolish questions. they are
questions prompted by an equally foolish
custom.
And the plain fact is. it may some
times happen that when a man meets
a group Of women friends. he is not over
anxious to pay for all, in spite Of the
trifing sum: but with that custom in
the background he scarcely knows how
to escape. And so he hands out a quar-
ter or so and never looks for change.
And whether 1t is trifiing or whether It
is not is determined by his point of view.
And there's where the woman comes
in.
She knows right we'll that she would
not care to pay an extra fare or an ex-
