Travel Courtesies to Be Observed
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

may not be exactly forbidding. but it
indicates a barrier TO intimate COM
panionship. Never dnder any cir
cumstances talk of anything except
impersonal subjects. 1t is unw1se to
reveal destination other than the
name of the city where you stop. Yet
do everything in kindly way, not in
timately but with impersonal kindness,
which is really courtesy.
Window Problems.
There is perhaps more bother about
windows than any other one specific
thing when travelling by train. 1t
often is a strain on ones good ma
ture 10 have a fellow passenger In
sist that YOU keep your window down
because of cinders that may blow in.
or because of draughts of air being
unpleasantly strong. Perhaps you
actually need the air. At least you
would not be having the window open
unless it made the travel pleasanter
for you But, except when you ac-
tually must have the fresh air, at a
hint from one who sits behind you or
beside you that the air is too much
courtesy demands that you shut the
window. However, If the chance oc-
ours for you to change your seat,
that is the thing TO do, and hope for
better luck with the open window.
1t is necessary to put yourself IN
the others place to realize that the
open window may be practically un-
bearable As matter of fact. 1t
should be before a passenger requests
2 window closed Travellers have 10
assume that this is the case with
others and he careful that they do
not themselves ask the favor unless
il proves $50 to them.
Eating on Trains.
When there is not dining car. eat-
ing food is not conducive to the com
furt of fellow travellers. So if you are
hungry. Try to get "A seat by your
self and enjoy whatever Eou have as
incons picuously as possible. 1t Is
kindly to ask person IN the SINE
sept with you, if she objects TO the
aroma of whatever YOU may have
that has n distinctive Odor. Such as
bananas. oranges and particularly OF
pungent Odors. such as mint. 1t is for
Won to refrain from eating whatever
il is until YOU can take another seat.
Travellers seldom do express an OBJ
lection unless the odor makes them
feel i'll. It would be not only dis
courteous bu: actually unkind to con
tinuc to. eat under such circum-
stances.
4 Test OF Nature.
BE SLOW to make requests of others,
and bn quick TO acccde to thoS" made
OF YOU. Exercise kindly caution, Dpt
do moi act suspicious of others. Per
haps they are merely TOO aloot. or are
Iouuacious. OF the two the former
* by far the preferable. And what
ever YOU do never lose Your good ma
turc. Travelling is delightful to most
people. 1t is also a test Of persons,
bringing to the fore their excellent
qualities or showing off undesirable
CneS distinctly.

Two things are most important to
know. one IS that the hair must have
a lot of care during the whole period
before the baby arrives and while 1t
is being nursed-that is. during the
time of great physical strain. The
scalp must be massaged a little each
day, and q good tonic should be used
twice or three times Il week. The
body has less energy to expend than
usual on such things as hair and
teeth, therefore a dentist should be

TRADING IS STEADY
IN COTTON MARKET
Late Months Supported by
Covering and Trade Buy
ing Today.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 12.-Cotton
futures opened steady; May, 1853;
July, 1906; October, 1876; December
1906; January, 1904.
The market was steady today at
decline of 4 points to an advance or .
points. Near months were Influenced
by reiterated complaints of poor de-
mand for cotton goods and relatively
easy cables. but late months were
supported by covering and trade buy
ing. The general market ruled steady
during the first hour, July selling
around 1919 and October 1879, or
about 1 to points net higher.
1t was rumored that one of the
private bureaus estimated domestic
mill consumption for February at
543, 900 bales, compared with $4,000
for January and 551. 900 last year, but
while these figures attracted bearish
comment. they failed to stimulate any
fresh selling Of consequence.
Private cables attributed the decline
in Liverpool to hedge selling and
small offtake.
The market eased later on increased
offerings of May, which sold off from
1856 to 1853. or about 10 points net
lower. The easier ruling of the neai
months promoted some selling of later
deliveries. and October declined tc
1871, or 3 points net lower. but cover
ing continued, and prices at midday
showed rallies of a few points from
the lowest. The May-July difference
narrowed from SO points at the close
yesterday to about a. points this
morning.
