Manners
of the
Moment

IT DEPENDS on whose hat It is.
= If 1t is your hat. of course you
think it should be allowed to save
q train seat for you. If 1t is not your
hat. you consider 1t entirely too pre-
sumptuous.
Custom has given the hat. on the
whole. the benefit Of the doubt--a
strange quip. 1t seems to me. Per-
sonally, look at 1t this way. If a
hat is saving a particularly choice
seat, or seat in car where there
are no other seats free, it should not
be respected after the train has started
to move. While the train is in the
station. perhaps respect should be
accorded it-for you never can tell
what crippled grandmother or help
less baby the owner has rushed out to
assist.
But once the train is moving, I
consider it quite ethical to place the
hat upon the rack above and take
the seat-for by that time you know
full well that the owner is out with
the boys in the club car. And why. I
ask you. should any man (or woman
for that matter) have place to sit in
the club car and another place to
park q hat? JEAN.

Tails were bone Of contention at
those early pug dog shows. If the
judge was notorious for liking tails
which curled on the right, the unfor-

tail just waited for another show
When his turn came land there were
judges favoring his appendage) his
brother of the right-handed side took
a back seat. Gradually compromise
came about with the perfect tail doing
q double curl in the center.
