How They MetA Met-A Court street car in Brooklyn stopped at Harrison to let a lady wearing a spring hat alight At the same moment a lady wearing her winter hat wanted to I take the same car They met face to face on the lower step They wera strangers The one with the spring hat I had the right of way and she tossed her i head in a defiant manner Winter Hat felt that the odds were against her but she braced up and looked the other 1 square in the eye and refused to give I wayAll All out shouted the conductor reaching for the bellrope I Spring Hat would not budge Winter Hat would not retreat I All aboard I Spring Hat glared at Winter Hat and the end of her nose was elevated a bit I I Winter Hat returned the glare and her pug nose tried Uio same dodge but I couldnt elevate I Ladies dont detain the car cried i I the conductor and his words encouraged Winter Hat to renewed exertions She I pulled herself up the step crowded Spring Hat against the side of the car and entered tie door with a smile of triumph on her face The other stepped off gave her skirts a shake and her head a toss and walked away but despite her dignity and defiance the conductor looked after her and said Finest spring hat on the whole line but the lady inside takes the gate receipts i re-ceipts New York World
