And Woman Had Just Said, ’’Men Are So Careless”
< CROWD had swarmed. Passers-by had gone out of their wav to see what
n lmd happened : drivers of vehicles had halted; nevvsbovs darted Up from
every direction, and a lloek of nurses lmd brought their go carts and babies
from the park. Of the triage of wom-
en staring front the opposite side of
the street only one seemed to have
any Idea of what had happened. She
was a pleasant-faeed woman with a
sympathetic voice, and she carried a
clump of goldenrod.
"1 heard somebody say somebody
bail fallen off a car and they have
Kent for an ambulunee.”
“Men are so careless." The obser-
vation was made by a woman who
cnrrled a knitting bag. "You hardly
ever hear of women getting hurt. Women look where they are going, but a
man skips off a moving ear or sprints In front of an auto. And the first thing
?;<e knows he is In the hospital,” finished up the woman of the hag.
"I suppose it’s because women arc more timid titan men are, and tor that !
reason are less venturesome."
"It isn’t timidity; It’s common sense. Women keep their wits about them, I
nnd the consequence is that lliey uevei gei min. meie coutes toe nmou-
