hitting her eighteen-year old daughter
to go tc the opera, unaccompanied ex-
cept by her thirty-year old brother.
"The mother should have gone along, or
else some elderly woman friend,' pro-
nounced the censor. There is no know
ing to what remarks the young people
laid themselves open 10y going unchap-
erOned."
To which a sensible woman replied,
THE persons who recognized them
would understand the situation and it
would not be worth while to worry
about the judgment Of those who did
not know them"
We may afford to lay aside the consld-
Grafton of such standards as these and
study rather what Tule should be fol-
lowed in the small town or the country
neighborhOOd among young men and
women who are in good social standing
there. How shall they deal with the
problem of the chaperOne? Shall they
ignore it altogether OF conform to it in
certain instances and neglect it in
others? And how is the discrimination
to be made?
Here is one oflthe matters where it is al
most impossible to make positive state
ment. The personal equation counts
for large amount. In every circle
there are to>be found young women who
could be protected by no amount OF
chaperonage and others vino would be
secure in the midst of any and all temp
tations. But putting aside either of
these extremes, although [ like to
think that the latter is not an ex-
treme, but just what one might look for
from any nice, we'll brought up Ameri-
can girl,-let us try to frame few gen
eral plans.
In the first place, then, before grant
ing permission to your daughter to ac-
cept invitations to out door junketings
from young men, be pretty sure OF your
young man. He should not be picked
up at random, so to speak. 1t is bad
enough if the man who calls on girl in
J her home is the chance acquaintance,
with no endorsement except from those
who know only his name, but it is much
worse if he is to be a girls companion
on row or ride or even on the golf
links, although the last is probably the
least undesirable locality in which tO
be left alone with comparative strang-
er. Putting aside all other questions
there is always the possibility OF acct
dents of one sort or another on out door
excursions and the girl who accepts q
Young mans invitations for one Of these
should be sure that he Is the man on
whom she would be willing to depend in
case Of such an accident.
Also, she should know the man wei
enough,-or her mother or father should
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1904-04-27

know him we'll enough, to be sure that
his character is such as to make him
desirable companion. He may not be of
necessity a bad sort and yet his bring
ing up, his associates, may have been
such that a girls parents may feel it is
decidedly inadvisable that their daugh-
ter should stamp herself in public with
him as her friend and COMP anton. But
weIl-bred young fellow and if the girl
is the right sort Of self respecting young
woman, there is no reason why the two
may not have certain outings together
| without laying themselves open to criti-
cism. OF course, all these outings must
be chosen with judgment.
Suppose girl and man have been
infected with the returning fondness for
bicycle riding. The new wheels are
enough to win even old boys and girls to
desire to learn what wheeling really
means. Is there any reason why the
young couple should not 90 out for a
short spin OF for long run? None in
the world. If they choose to take COM
pact lunch with them and eat it by the
roadside and rest there afterwards and
/ read or chat, they may do it without fear
Of censure,- provided, always provided.
that they are the sort OF young man
and woman | have described. [ do
not think it is the wise thing to permit
this liberty too freely among needless,
feather Drained boys or girls. There
may be no real harm in it. But the
animal spirits of youth do strange things
sometimes and many girl or boy has
been carried away to an exhibition of
romping, display of hoydenishness that
has laid up store of uncomfortable feel
ing for later days, when better appre
citation has been gained of true dignity
and self respect.
Take them for all in all, or BOYS and
girls are pretty thoroughly to be relied
upon and the worst there is to fear
from them, as a rule, is a lapse into
Stiffness. But even this it is we'll to
spare them. And SO, | say, be sure of
your boy and girl before turning them
loose unchaperoned. If they have been
trained as they should have been
they will be guilty of the mistake
but both should have had prac-
tlcally the same sort of training before
they are granted full liberty.
The rule that applies to cycling ap-
plies to boating, to fishing, to walking.
to riding, to driving. Ii signs go for
anything, however there will probably
be more wheeling during the coming
season than any other of the sports |
have named. The bicycle is not what
it was once, a machine that hal to be
cleaned. and oiled the moment it was

In the Spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of outdoor
sports. So does that of the young
woman. In fact. it is extremely prob
ablel that they have not waited until
now to bestow consideration upon such
matters. but have been planning
for them while still the snow
was blowing and the streams frozen.
Now, as the roads get in good order
and the mud dries from the fields, the
golf clubs are brought out, the wheels
are oyerhauled and put I'D condition and
Saturday half-holidays and vacation
times.
With the return to the possibility
of this sort of thing arises the annual
question as to how much liberty is to be
allowed our young men and our young
women in their association with one
another. Are they to go about together
ur chaperoned, as they have done from
time immemorial in the country and
small towns, or are the rules of smart
society in the big cities to be complied
with? There are advocates of both
sides of the matter and each has its pros
and icons.
There is somewhat exaggerated idea
of the conventions that exists in this re-
spect even in large cities and among
fashionable folk. A fierce light beats
upon the throne and those who are al
most as we'll known as royalty and have
their actions chrOnicled in all the
papers have to abstain from many
simple joys they doubtless covet. Those
who follow hard after them in their
struggle for social eminence, but who
have not yet attained to it, often i'm
agine themselves to be of so much i'm
portance that they must conform to GER
tain rigid requirements. Thus, for in
stance, I heard not long ago of one of
these seekers for society column fame
who severely criticised a mother for per-

chainless does away with the nuisance.
The coaster brake, the possibilities Of a
two speed gear give charms to the
wheel that it never possessed before II is
a season when it is necessary to decide
what rules we shall lay down for our
young people when they go bicycling.
Once upon time it might have seemed
needless but we are entering upon a
different order Of things.
Even the best bred boys and girls will
occasionally give away to the animal
spirits aforesaid and make fools of them
selves. That is, they will have tend
ency to do this And for that reason it
is good thing for their parents to send
them out equipped with sufficient
store of good advice. Often it is mere
thoughtlessness that makes young
people ride along country roads yelling
like C0manches and disturbing the
peace Of quiet folk. Sometimes they
seem to lay aside their manners when
they put on their cycling toys. On this
account it is often more desirable to
have chaperOne when there is large
party than when there are only few
on the expedition. A racket of any sort
is contagious and where two or three
people would not think of waking the
echoes with their shrieks of innocent
glee, dozen or so would be pretty sure
to raise rumpuS.
There are other conditions in which a
cEaperOne is advisable One is when
the excursion is to be extended and re-
turn made late in the day. If the party
means to stop for night anywhere,
chaperone is indispensable. 1t may be
jolly young married woman or a girl of
the older set who is the sister of one of
the younger members of the band. In
any case she will lend dignity to the
company. Even if meal is to be taken
at hotel or inn it is we'll to have an
oil der person along,
Once it would have been hard to find a
woman Of even comparatively mature
years who could be called upon to chap
erone wheeling party. But We have
changed all that. The improvements in
modern science are bringing things to
such pass that soon there will be no
old people. They will all of them be
always young. Keeping in step with
this advance is modern invention. max
ing exercise not only easy, but delight.
The visions that the old men saw and
dreams that the young men dreamed in
Bible times will be matched by the re-
alities that will be achieved by the
young, middle aged and even elderly
women who have the physical training
that keeps them in order supplemented
by the means that render out door ex-
cursions joy.
