She Stood Up in the Car for Her
"Little Son.
That the ways of women are passing
strange was again proved by an in-
cident on a Main street car the
other evening. A gentleman rose
to offer his seat to a lady who had
just entered with her little boy.
Seeing the seat vacant she sent the
boy to occupy it, whiie she clung to
a strap. She was evidently very
tired and would have enjoyed a seat,
but preferred to care for her son
first. Presently a lady left the car
and the one standing took her seat.
Next to her was a serving maid
with a pretty baby on her lap. The
lady asked permission to hold it,
and, the request being granted, she
cooed and talked and played with
the child for a half hour, utterly ob-
livious of her own boyTs jealous cries
