Show I Do the Majority of Women Appreciate Scats Given to Them in the Street Cars? : . :'. MKS. J. T. KINGSBURY: It depends . on the lady. If she Is tired, Bhe does. I never like to tajce the seat of a working man or an aged man. v MHS. WILLIAM JENNINGS laughed I whetf Bhe was questioned and said: J Of course, a seat is appreciated; If the lady accepting it is. a lady she will express.her appreciation. MRS. GEOfcGE DAGGETT:- I do not beHcve that nen should give up their teats to ladies unless they are old k ladies, and then any man would do so. V. ' An able-bodied woman Is as able to ) stand a man. The man pays Ills fare and is entitled to hia seat. 1I11S. II. J. DININNY Tes, I do be- lieve that a woman appreciates a seat in a street car when a man gives it to her. A lady invariably expresses , her appreciation. MISS BESS HALL: Some do not appreciate ap-preciate seats given them In a street car. When a woman with children, an old woman or one who is sick boards a car she should be given a seat. If the woman Is young and, able-bodied, the men should retain their seats. MRS. WILLIAM H. KING: I think every lady appreciates a seat given to her In a street car others do not. ' , The appreciation which the courtesy deserves Is not always giver!. I have frequently observed a lack of cour- tesy on the part of the recipients of the seat. I am sorry to see many who are ladylike in every other way take the 'seats and never acknowledge the courtesy. MISS WOODBURY: Some appreciate the seats, and many feel the appreciation, appre-ciation, but do not express it. MISS SHEARMAN: Nine out of every ten do not appreciate the Seats. Nearly Near-ly all accept the seat as their rlgtot and do not recognize the courtesy that is extended. The men should , not give up their seats unless the woman who is standing has a child in her arms, or is a tired working woman. If the woman Is old or lck, she should be seated otherwise i N , |
