COURTESY IN CARS.

In regard to lack of courtesy shown by men to women that your correspondent "Disappointed" complains about, I should like tp say a few words. If she has nothing more than the loss of a bit of courtesy shown" to her in.a tramcar to complain about she is 1* very lucky. Does not "Disappointed" know that many men are Buffering .under a very big grievance in that in these days of business colleges women are filling most of the jobs that man thinks he has a right to himself! If he is. out of a job he gets more consideration than she does in that he gets sustenance, while she is left out in the cold to starve. When woman asks for fair treatment it should be of more importance than a bit of courtesy shown in a tramcar. For myself, I always try to avoid a crowded tramcar or bus, as I always feel that I have no right to some- I body's seat after they have paid for it. But I I must say that in the few times that I have been in crowded cars I have been treated courteously, for which I am very thankful. There used to be a saying that a young man would give his seat to a beautiful young woman, but not to an old one. Well, I find just the opposite. M.AJL
