Show i I A Rule and an Exception. ! According to tho New York Trib une, a country paper lays down this rule of etlquctto: "When a. lady and gentleman are walking In tho street, the lady bIiouM walk Inside of the gentleman." It seems a little strango that this slmplo rule, so long current among tho cannibal tribes of tho Andaman and ether islands, should find Its way Into rural Journal of moro or less civilization. It would appear that tho etiquette editor of tho paper In question ques-tion was cither too careless or too hurried to noto any exceptions to the rule. Otherwlso he would have explained ex-plained that when tho gentleman was thirsty and desired to entor a cafl tho' lady would walk on tho outside. Cleveland Plain Dealer. |
