Our Own Etiquette Column

ITO behave ones self on q troll
ley car to-day Is an art. be-
cause so much can happen
that one has to be constantly on
the alert to do the proper thing at
the proper time. Therefore, II you
have been walking to and from
work just because you did not know
the proper etiquette to use on a
trolley we suggest that you study
the following rules. Every one has
a meaning all its own, and you
can't go wrong:
Here's the way to be polite to
the conductor:
II is proper etiquette to hand the
conductor a flve-dollar bill. Con-
ductors, you know, are such good
natured chaps that 1t tickles them
silly when they have to stop and
make change. Should he growl at
you, Hey. amt you got anything
smaller?" 1t is not proper etiquette
to say, yes, SIR" and then hand
him three pennies.
When a trolley conductor calls
out the streets and they sound like
'Blmrskx street, Hirsktixy street."
etc, 1t is not proper etiquette to
arise in the car and ask him what
he said You are supposed to keep
your ears open. he'll tell you, and
even II he did repeat the names of
The Washington times., 1921-12-11

at your stop, pick yourself up from
the street and go on your way 18th
out a murmur. It's not propey eti-
quette to shake your fist after the
car and call the conductor names.
He didn't mean to hurt you; he
merely assumed you were in a
hurry and wanted to get you to
your destination as quickly as pos
sible.
When the conductor yells, "Move
The Washington times., 1921-12-11

Here's the way to be polite to
your fellowpassengers:
II you give a lady a seat in a
crowded car 1t is not proper eti-
quette to grab her by the throat II
she doesn't thank you.
Should a lady be taking home a
carton of oysters and should the
car give a lurch and spill most Of
the oysters in your coat pocket do
not keep the oysters. This is
very clever way to get some oys-
ters for nothing. but should the
lady discover them In your pocket
she would consider you very Ill
bred.
Should baby insist upon smear
ing a peppermint stick in your face
do not turn your back to the child.
Peppermint is not harmful to the
complexion, so do not show your
ill-breeding by becoming vexed.
However, should the child insist
upon sticking the peppermint in
your ear take the candy from the
child and eat It yourself.
Should the car give lurch go
ing around curve and throw
fat lady In your lap, do not get up
and offer her your seat-not un-
less you know there are several
other bad turns on the road.

He Was a Poor Pupil

A NEGRO lad had been brought
- into Virginia police court for
the fifth time charged with stealing
chickens. The magistrate deter
mined to appal to the boys father.
"See here" said His Honor, this
boy of yours has been in this court
90 many times charged with chicken
stealing that am quite tired Of
seeing him here
81 don't blame you, Jedge," said
the parent, "an' Is tired Of seein'
him here as you is"
"Then why don't you teach him
how to act7 Show him the right
way and he won't be coming here"
II have showed him de right
way" said the father, "but he Jest
cont seem 10 have no talent for
learning how, ledge; he always gets
caught"

The Trolley Car

Do not take q dose of cough
medicine on a trolley car, How
are the passengers to know 1t is
cough medicine? II they don't mob
you in the car. no doubt tho ma
jority will get of at your stop and
waylay you on your road home.
II you are unable to raise q win.
dow in trolley, do not stick your
foot through the glass. The com
pany won't object, but you may cut
your trouser leg. e..
Upon entering car do not try
to play a practical Joke on a fell
low-passenger by sitting on any
packages he may have lying be-
side him on the seat. Tomatoes,
eggs, etc, not only stain ones
trousers In sitting on them, but
also smear up the seats for the
company.
When a lady steps on your right
foot in crowded car, that is a form
Of etiquette used to signify that
she wants you to give her your
seat. Should she step on your left
foot, that is form of etiquette
used to signify that she does not
care to SIT down.
II you are forced to stand In a
crowded car be careful and do not
mistake some passengers nose or
ear for strap.

the streets you'd be unable to un-
derstand him anyway. And do not
ask him, when you leave the car,
il he speaks English.
II you get on car and the con-
ductor looks sour, do not sympa-
thize with him and say, 81 feel Just
as bad as you do; /, too, have a
note due to-day" Chances are he
hasn't any note due; that sour look
is natural and helps qualify him
for his job.
If you enter a car with a cigar
in your mouth, and the conductor
bawls you out df he doesn't openly
bawl you out he's not a regular
conductor), don't try to bribe him
by Offering him cigar. He'll en-
barrass you by coming back with
some clever repartee, something on
this ordere What yuh think / ann
Get rid O that torch and get rid
of It quick" And all efforts on
your part to be sociable will be
futile. as conductors have very lit
tie sense of playfulness.
II you see a conductor on the
street you will note that he acts
Just like any other human being, so
do not point him out as you would

gong to go before you have alighted

it is proper etiquette to keep on
