" 1. Keep a handkerchief on your person. A clean one, since it&amp;#039;s not for you. It&amp;#039;s for the crying woman.  2. When you encounter the crying woman (and she needs to be sobbing as if she&amp;#039;s been hurt \u2014 never approach a woman who is merely weeping or teary), approach her as if you&amp;#039;re advancing on a wounded animal that might still be able to bite \u2014 slowly, thoughtfully. Pull out the handkerchief. 3. Say: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sorry to disturb you, but is there anything I can do to help?&amp;quot;  4. Whether she responds or not, offer the still-folded handkerchief. Point out that it&amp;#039;s clean. This should make her laugh.  5. If she hasn&amp;#039;t yet told you to go away (and if she tells you to go away, do so immediately), ask what you might specifically be able to do: stay with her, call the police, listen to her problems, tap dance.  6. Proceed according to her wishes until she says she&amp;#039;s fine.Tell her to keep the hanky.
