WHEN SHE WALKS.

"A little neglect may breed mischief" r
Franklin.
EVXTHEN walking with a woman it is
w customary for the man to ask
to carry any parcels she may be bur-
dened with. 1t Is woman's privilege
to insist on carrying them herself, but
remember that it is very embarrassing
for man to walk with woman who
is burdened as, besides feeling regret
that he cannot aid her, he is put in a
false position by those whom he. may
meet.
Every well-bred woman should know
that it Is no longer considered the
right thing for q Imam to take her arm
In walking unless she is feeble or the
way hazardous. II she happens to be
accompanied by a man who Is not
aware of this fact she should not take
Offense, but II he takes her arm she
should ascribe 1t to his ignorance of
that rule Of good breeding and restrain
him by simply assuring him that che
