A well-bred man, however, will show his manliness by giving any woman his seat and standing himself, as she is less fitted for such hardships and annoyances.  A man should always give his seat to an elderly woman, one accompanied with children, or one apparently weak and sickly.  In giving his seat to a woman, a man should politely bow and raise his hat.

It is good form for a man to assist a woman getting on or off a car.  If a man is accompanied by a woman when she leaves the car, he should help her off the car.

       A man should always be polite and courteous
       toward a conductor, as the latter’s
       position is a hard and trying one.

       A man should never cross his legs or keep
       his feet extended in the passageway.

If a man finds it necessary to crowd into a car already full, he should do so with consideration and politeness, and with an apology for pressing against any one.  It is better to stand than to crowd yourself into a small space between those who are seated.

  Expenses.  A man traveling with another man
       can pay the latter’s fare if he wishes.  But
       if he is accompanied by a woman he should
       pay her fare.  If he is in the car, and other
       acquaintances, men or women, enter, they
       should pay their own fares.

  Women.  A woman should not look with a
       pained and injured air at the men passengers
       because no one of them has offered her a seat. 
       The great influx of women into the commercial
       world, and their being thrown into direct
       competition with men, has largely done away
       with the fine old custom of men giving up
       their seats to women.  The impoliteness of
       many women in accepting a seat as a matter
       of right and not of courtesy, and perhaps
       without a “Thank you,” has helped largely
       to bring about the present state of affairs. 
       No woman of ordinary good manners should
       fail to express her thanks for the courtesy
       proffered.  If a woman is offered a seat she
       should accept it at once-without urging.

A man may assist a woman in getting off a car.  If a woman is accompanied by a man and she leaves the car, he should assist her to alight.

       A woman should wait till a car absolutely
       stops before she gets on or off, and she
       should face the front when leaving the car.

If possible, a woman should have her car-fare handy or easy of access-preferably in her hand-before entering the car if it is crowded.  A woman should avoid crowding into a small space between others, and it is better for her to stand than to occupy barely the edge of a seat.  If it is absolutely necessary for her to enter a crowded car, she should do so with an apology to those whom
