Public Manners
BY LILLIAN RUSSELL.

Doesn't II seem that tho mon you
see In public places to-day are n little
less courteous than formerly to women?
/ do not mean to suggest that they arc
actually rude. nor that all mon havc
ceased to exhibit special respect for
women. but many OF our mon seem to
neglect those nice little attentions that
formerly wero accorded to cvery-
woman.
There was time when no man would
remain In n seut while u woman was
standing In street car. 3lcn arc not
now SO particular. Some OF them
bury their faces In newspapers. 9th
crs idly watch women swinging about
the car straps.
1t was once q general practice for
all men i'll an elevator to rcnove their
mats when woman entered. This
mark of respect IL also Icas in cyi-
dcnce than in bysone days.
Men used 10 make It a rule to stand
aside and permit women to first enter
street cars and public convcyances +
must say that this rule seems hard FOR
them to break. but they arc beginning
TO violate II.
In other instances thore seems to be
tendency to forget or ignore little
courtcsics which used to give q touch
OF refinement to lifc and exhibit a
special roapcc; for women.
Are we To suppose that the rcspon-
sibility for changing customs rests CIR
tircly upon the men? Is IL because
women are no much moro conspicuous
and numerous in publ,1 places. or for
the reason that men and women are
coming into closer contact than for
mcrly?
If you will keep Your eyes open you
VIII sec women accept seats from men
in street cara without even looking ut
the one comforting the favor upon
them. II Is likoly that men who are
continually treated In that way will
soon join tho ranks behind tho news
papers and permit women to stand. In
such cases tho women aro first guilty
OF ncglccting to extend u demanded
courtesy.
l am wondering whether it Is not be-
cause women arc getting careless in
tho matter OF their attitude and con-
duct in public that mon are moro and
moro disposed TO abandon the pretty
and thoughtful attentions they once
showerod upon tho gentlcr sex.
Rcmcmbcr: II you expect courteous
treatment from others, you must as
sumcs a respectful attitude before
them.

lhdorsed by the Anacostia Citizens As
soclation at its meeting last night in its
rooms in Nichols avenue. Representa-
tive johnson. chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee. and others of the COM
mittee were criticised severely by speak,
ers who expressed an opinion that a
change in the personnel of the commit
tee would result in advantage to the resi-
dents of the District.
President Charles r. Burr named the
members of the various standing COM
mittees. Maurice Otterback, chairman of
the committee on streets and highways
reported that the item for the improve
ment of Nichols avenue through the sub
urb had been retained in the District
bill by the Senate Committee. j. F.
Earnshaw was appointed to secure two
band concerts each month for Logan
Park. in Anacostia. during the approach
ing season.
The fourth annual supper of the Gar
den Memorial Presbyterian Church was
held yesterday afternoon and evening
in the AnacOstia Masonic Hall. Notwith-
standing the bad weather several hun
dred persons attended. The proceeds will
be used to further the church work.
The fact that the Commissioners have
adversely concerning the bill
to build a bridge across the Anacostia
River at Pennsylvania avenue, in place
of the present structure, has given the
citizens of Randle Highlands much cause
for regret The Randle Highlands Citi-
zens' Association, however, intends to
continue its effort to secure this bridge.
