SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
A PLEASANT CALLING FOR RE-
DUCED GENTLEwoMEN.
A Lot of News Notes About Interesting
People, and Society Events of Recent
Occurrence.


woman OF San Francisco, who is well
known in this city, has discovered a
calling which is pleasant, profitable,
and which should always be in demand.
1t is that of professional chaperon.
This lady was once at the top of the
social ladder, and for that matter she is
vet, for her character is above reproach,
her blood is OF the bluest, aid her po-
sition as assured as is Mrs. Astor's. But
she is poor. And naturally when the
wealth she once had disappeared, then
came the question Of bread and butter,
which she liked cut thin and spread
with the highest priced combination of
clover and Jersey COW.
Sine heard OF young girl, the daugh-
ter of a friend who was, in the language
of Young girls, "dying'' to 60 to Mon
terey. but no one would go with her,
and Of course she could not 60 alone.
There was a consultation between
mama and the reduced gentlewoman,
and the result was that the two went
together. The young girl had splen-
did time, and the lady had her bank
account augmented. Since then she
has driven fine business and is now in
great demand. A curious thing is that
most OF her temporary charges become
engaged while under her care to most
eligible parties, fact which increases
her popularity.
