Origin of a Custom

custom of a man walking upon the out
side of the sidewalk when escortng

everybody does 1t and nobody can tell
why M r."
The reason in the earlier days of city
life was that the stronger OF the pair of
pedestrians was more able to shield his
companion from accidents If he held to
the curbstone side of the pavement. AS
for example, a runaway or restive horse,
n drunken rider, or a press of what we
know as traffic. The inside of the walk
was supposed to be safer, also, because in
case of sudden alarm from any of these
causes the women could take refuge in
an open doorway. Nearly every social
convention has meaning If we knew the
history of each Some that appear arbi-
trary would not be judged harshly could
