like men lo pay attention to their
gallantry If they had any.
Americans are Just polite without
the desire to please, neither to flat
ter or to pay a compliment. When
a man salutes a lady, that's exactly
what he means, to salute her. When
a Frenchman does the same salute
there Is something else In his act
there .la a compliment for her dress'
for her looks, for herself, the wom

is always an homage to the weaker
but loved sex.
I have many tlnv-s no-tre: rrrn

moving their hats or smoking cigar

comfortably seated in a street car
while a lady is standing and strug
gling to keep her balance. I have
noticed this without any thou slit of
blame, because the lady in question
is almost all the time a young and
healthy one, and I often think that
the man seated Is coming back frffm
his work tired and hungry, and the
lady has probably been spending her
afternoon shopping or visiting
friends. I want to say that I Lave
never seen an elderly lady or a lady
with children standing up."
By tetnperament, the Frenchman
is a woman. He likes to bow ami
scrape. He simply eats up cere
monies of any kind. Nothing pleases
him more lhan an opportunity to
palaver about something or any
thing. He shrugs his shoulders and
waves his hand?; he Bilis

bei n eccept'd the world over a pen-
I uln? evidence, according to this ex-
soldier, who denies that the ordinary
Frenchman Is more polite, tal-: him
on the average, than anyone el.se.
When a Frenchman is well-bred,
ho is undoubtedly about as nice a
person as you conld meet, en'wiiere.
Within the bosom of his family, ho
is a gem. To the smalle: t cinld

Is also true cf the well-bred English
man, the well-bred America!', er the
well-bred pirate.
But take the same Frenchman out
on the street. If another equally
well-bred Frenchman should josti
him on a street corner, he will roll
his eyes, wave his hands, go through
all the rest of his motions, and then
proceed, in exquisite French, to ad
minister a bawiing-out to the man
who bumped Into him. And the
old woman who runs the little cafe
nearby will come out and listen, and
half a dozen of her brood will gather
round, and passers-by will stop, and
before long there will be quite an
audience. In our cities, a cop would
put an end to the argument, but In
France these .little wordy wars con
tinue until one of the parties runs
out of breath.
Well-bred people ere usually as
polite as thry know how. That's one
of the evidences of good breeding,
Perhaps the well-bred Frenchman
puts on a little more dog than the
well-bred gentleman of Ocher nation
alities. It's due to his temperament
"ou couldn't picture an Englishman
rolling his eyes or shrugging 'Jis
ehoulders. They weren't made thct
way. But the common Frenchman,
like the common Englishman ' or
Irishman, isn't a bit more polite
than other people, no matter how
many mannerisms he may have.
That's the chief trouble- we've mis
taken mannerisms for manners.
The ordinary Frenchman and
many a well-bred one outside the
family circle isn't any more polite
than the average goat. Suppose
there is a crowd of people, and he
is on the outside and can't bee what
U going on. He will calmly elbow
his way to the front an J he'll el
dow ha-d. Other people will bawi
him out, but they doi.'t make an Im
pression on him. He goes where he
wants to, and is in turn elbowed
aside by someone else. If a line of
people are waiting to buy theater
tickets, it's a not uncommon sight,
to see someone forcing hU way to
the head of the line, over the loudly
voiced protests of ever) one vise.
In the street cars or subway, a
Frenchman will politely arise and
give his seat to someone else not
on your tintype, Angelina, lie might
give it to his grandmother, or to a
real pretty girl, but even the most
polite Frenchman will often sit and
read his Matin calmly though the
car were full of standing woiueu.
Here the Frenchman's manners are
not a bit better than those of any
one else. And, when you get rignt
down to it, as a rule you'll lind this
the case.
So, when you read stuE like this
French war bride write, dou't "get
alarmed over the terrible manners of
your compatriots. Remember that
the war bride Is likely to be tempera
mental, too. As tor the kind of dope
she is spreading, you would call it
plain b.unk if it were written by any
one but a war bride.
