with solid dignity. If the bus goes by,
she stands well in the way OF all other
traffic muttering things that are tortu-
nately unintelligible.
The blase youths who affect this same
general method go about 1t quite an
other way. Their idea, like that OF the
ladies. is to avoid letting the bus know
up to the very last second that they have
the slightest idea of taking it. But they,
unlike the old ladies, do not lurk behlnd
limousines or hansoms. Instead, they
choose a particularly open curb. Here
they stand, twirling their sticks, ADJUST
ing their bone-rimmed spectacles or
otherwise occupying themselves as II
they had long thoughts far beyond
buses. In reality, they have spotted
their bus from afar. They wait until
the numbering thing is almost on them.
Then they stroll out, as if to cross the
Avenue. AS the bus tries to swerve by
them they suddenly raise stick or
single long finger AS with the ola
ladies. the bus may get by-although
usually the youth can fling himself at
the step and get on without disturbing
any one but the guard, who may have
been trying to tell him that there are
no seats. If the bus stops, the youth
mounts it with a mastery air OF bore
dom. If it eludes him, he curses 1t
with an equally mastery air. Indeed
| am convinced that the thing that binds
the youths and the old ladies together
in this school of bus stopping is their
delight in being able to curse the black
world if the bus goes by. Both old
ladies and blase youths find 1t hard TO
find sufficient cause for demonstrations
of deep feeling. But to have bus roll
by when you want it to stop!-surely
that is sufficient cause.
The other school of bus shoppers IN
cmdes both the major domo and the
sparrow type of male and female OF all
ages. Their method is to begin tagging
the bus while it is at least five blocks
off. The major domo stands as near
the middle of the Avenue as possible,
holding his rolled newspaper aloft, with
a fine disregard for the traffic. The bus
