Ordinarily a lady pays her fare herself, unless she is under escort of
a relative or intimate friend to whom she gives the right to pay for
her. When she enters a car alone and there meets an acquaintance, she
always pays her own fare, unless the acquaintance may be an old and
intimate friend.

When a lady is taking a long trip under escort of some gentleman
friend, it is proper for her to reimburse him for his expenditures in
her behalf. She should hand him her purse with which to purchase her
ticket.

The munching of nuts, fruit, or candy in a crowded public conveyance
is a serious offense against those about you. A neat lunch, quietly
eaten at an appropriate hour, is not offensive and is quite
permissible. But one should not impose even the odor of food upon
people who are forced to be near, and who may find it extremely
disagreeable.

The recent passage and enforcement of laws regarding expectoration in
public places is a great step in advance, and must be rigidly
maintained for the sake of the public health. The chewing of gum,
while no menace to society, is as unesthetic and disgusting as
expectoration, and should fall under as righteous if not as severe a
ban.

In a car or train do not fan yourself so vigorously that the person in
front of you feels the air current upon the back of his neck. A book
or newspaper should not be placed so that it rubs constantly against
the hat of the person in the seat in front.

Pushing, shoving, and all like methods of getting people to move out
of your way, or of getting ahead of others, are marks of great
rudeness, and have a tendency to retard rather than aid one's progress
through a crowd or into a car. The quiet, good-natured crowd disperses
most rapidly.

At the ferry and all prepayment places, have the right change in
hand, so that you do not keep back those who are in a rush to catch a
boat or a car, by fumbling for your money or making the receiver make
change.

Do not carry an umbrella carelessly. You are as culpable if you injure
another as another would be if he injured you.

To converse in loud tones or talk of personal matters anywhere in
public shows great lack of fine feeling and good breeding.

Never show hostility, nor permit people to quarrel with you. The
irritability which crowded conditions aggravate makes it necessary to
adhere, from principle, to the rule of strict good-will toward all.

If you are escorting a
