bitterness of feeling, as viii hereafter
appear.

Chivalry in the Smart Set.
In American social circles a girl is
often thrust upon young diplomat
with title, and little or nothing is done
to find out his previous character-for
unfortunately. Il title, in the Washing
ton society natron's mind, covers a
multitude of sins, and the happiness OF
the daughter counts for little
1t is generally stated in the United
States that the American girl Knows
how to take care of herself, but find
that this dictum IS far from true. from
my experience and the experience OF
others The young American girl, either
Washingtonian or other, Is Just the
same as her foreign sister.
1t is true that formerly the Unborn
chivalry of the average American man
was security against harm; but that
chivalry is dead or fast dying, and the
enormous number of divorce cases in
itself that the policy of allowing young
women absolute license is one of the
most serious disasters which threaten
American womanhood.
