Such ill- judged am iab ility from passing acquain ' tancas often causes m ore annoyance th an th e u nb rid led selfishness of m ere strangers, an d ca lls to m ind th e hackneyed, because too o ften applicable, quo ta tion , “ I can p ro ­tec t m yself from m.v enem ies, b u t th e Lord defend me from m y friends.'’ I t is very unp leasan t, for in stance , fo r a m odest m an to be unw illing ly in troduced to a whole ca r fa ll of people by such an exclam ation as the following:

“ Good m orning . Mr. S im kins; bad w eather, th is, fo r bunions.

I t is a lto g e th er inexcusab le to address any one by nam e in the s tree t oars, o r any o the r public conveyance w here people a re so close to g e th er th a t each is likely to bear every w ord said. E qua lly o u t o f p lace are d isputes abou t politics, discussions on doc­tr in a l poin ts of religion, personal anecdotes w herein nam es a re m entioned (except those o f public m en), and long stories abou t one's own doings, sayings, opinioug, an d ex ­pectations. W e have seen a very polite m an h esita te before ring ing th e bell w hen he had reached h is po in t o f destination , because by doing so he m ust cu t short a sto ry in w hich his fellow passenger w as en ­gaged for his special benefit. To ladies th is species o f m istaken co rd ia lity is fre ­quen tly very em barrassing . W e rem em ber such an occasion, noticing th e expression of a la d y 's face, on being addressed by nam e in a loud voice from th e opposite side of th e ca r. I t 6poke volum es of reproof, as d id the cu rt m anner and d ry tone in which she responded to h e r elephantine-skinned questioner.

W om en, well dressed a n d of refined appearance , a re g u ilty of them ev e ry d a y . N ot long since, in one of th e i ’ry ta n ia s tre e t ca rs, a fa ir faoed, golden-ringleted , blue-oyeil little lady , e legan tly and m odestly a t tire d , took her sea t in a to lerab iy fu ll ca r im m ediately opposite to us. As we w ere engaged in fu r­tive ly adm iring h e r p re t ty au d p iquan t face tb e rosy lips opened, an d from them issued, in a gruff tone , th e w ords, “ Move up, c a n 't you; I d o n 't lik e to be squeezed so;” w hich elicited a half-suppressed t i t te r from som e ir re v e ren t lads in h e r v ic in ity , b u t caused an im m ediate m ovem ent along th e w hole line. N obody fe lt disposed to squeeze th a t la d y —in a s tre e t car. G etting room enough, or a t le a s t i f n o t enough, m ore th a n h e r share, she im m e­d ia te ly se tt le d h e r flounces a n d resum ed h er equan im ity . This is perhaps a n ex ­trem e ca se ; b u t nobody can ride much in th e s tree t ca rs w ith o u t le a rn ing th a t line fea thers do no t m ake fine b irds, n o r broad cloth a lw ays accom pany good breeding . W o m igh t m en tion opposite c a s e s ; in ­stances o f beau tifu l deference to the com ­fo rt o f o th e rs, of m odest cou rtesy ; b u t this is needless, as, on tho w hole, good breed ing is th e ru le in our s tre e t cars, and by its prevalence m akes its opposite tho m oro ot- fensive.
