uickly and pleasantly open the way; otherwise, respect "the line." 2) In a street-car, boys, you should touch your hat politely and offer your seat to a woman, a girl, or an elderly man who is standing. Your courtesy should be accepted with a bow and, "Thank you." 3) Girls, if a seat is offered you, accept it at once with "Thank you."
