LESSON XI.
MANNERS IN TRAVELLING.
Before we fairly begin the journey we want to consider what belongs to good manners at the station.
If the waiting-room is crowded, and there are not seats for all, the young ought cheerfully to give place to older people, especially to old ladies and to mothers with little children in their arms. There is often opportunity here to show little courtesies to others which may brighten their whole day.
