A Nuisance on the Open Boulevard Car
A fearsome scene unfolds as a portly woman boards a Seventy second Street car. She fusses with a pocketbook, teases four small children, mocks the crying youngsters, and irritates riders with her loud chatter about milk and water for a rash. The mother tries to calm them while other passengers demand quiet. At sixty third street the woman departs, leaving the car in relief though opinions split on her intentions.
