hole in the sidewalk, removes
his hat and gloves as inconspicuously as possible.

It is never correct for young people of either "sex" to push older
ladies in front of swiftly approaching motor vehicles or street cars.

A young man, if run over by an automobile driven by a strange lady,
should lie perfectly still (unless dead) until an introduction can be
arranged; the person driving the car usually speaks first.

An unmarried woman, if run into and knocked down by a taxicab driven
by someone in her own "set," usually says "Why the hell don't you look
where you're going?" to which the taxi driver, removing his hat, replies
"Why the hell don't YOU?"

A correct costume for gentlemen walking in the parks or streets of a
city, either before or after dark, consists of shoes (2), socks (2),
undergarments, trousers, shirt, necktie, collar, vest, coat and hat. For
pedestrians of the "opposite" sex the costume is practically the same
with the exception of the socks, trousers, shirt, necktie, collar,
vest and coat. However, many women now affect "knickerbockers" and vice
versa.

A young lady of good breeding, when walking alone, should not talk
or laugh in a loud boisterous manner. "Capers" (e. g. climbing trees,
etc.), while good exercise and undoubtedly fashionable in certain
"speedy" circles, are of questionable taste for ladies, especially
if indulged in to excess or while walking with young gentlemen on the
Sabbath. Sport is sport, and no one loves a stiff game of "fives" or
"rounders" more than I, but the spectacle of a young unmarried lady and
her escort hanging by their limbs on the Lord's Day from the second
or third cross arm of an electric telegraph pole is certainly carrying
things a bit too far, in my opinion, even in this age of "golf" and lawn
"tennis."

A young gentleman escorting a young lady on foot to a formal ball or the
opera should walk on the outside, especially if they are both in evening
dress and have a long distance to go. It is never incorrect to suggest
the use of a street car, or as one gets near the Opera House, a carriage
or a "taxicab."

A young man walking with a young lady, when accosted by a beggar, always
gives the beggar something unless the young lady is his wife or his
sister.

So much for pedestrians. I can not, of course, pretend to give here all
the rules for those who "go afoot" and I can only say that the safest
principle for correct behavior in this, as in many social matter
