Of chaperonage. The natural proclivities
of femininity i'm its teens are pitted
against the strictness of salaried over
seers. the intuition of older women and
the perspicacity of trained seekers after
the truth.
In such a deIicately adjusted situation
II Is only natural that there should be
disturbances OF the social equilibrium
from time to time: that there should be
queer rules and Queerer obedience: that

and means about the same thing with ref
erence to a fertilization a trench.
Here is the connection:
On the night of dance the school is
flooded with young men The chaperon
knows that hands will meet if they aren't
watched: that glanCes will linger; that
voices will soften. and that other irrepa
rable damage TO the aims and objects of
the seminary may be brought out. She
finds a position from which she can rake

Meeting with il and the coy corners
connected with them.
When the young gentleman murmurs,
Lets take a walk around the block"
the girl with him Is forced to murmur
back. THE front door is guarded" Then
he SAYS, Let's take the back door" She
replies THE back door is guarded"
Lets try the side door leading out on
the porch" That is guarded, too"
"Fiddling Nero he cries out like

ing that's any fun she signs.
And she indicates with nod Of her
head a lone. lonesome. single and wary
chaperon, who. the man sees. has chosen
her position at the center Of the web. so
that every perspective leads to her-so
that all must abandon hope who enter
there.
Every seminary has It's own set OF rules
for the guidance and chastisement of its
girls. In many cases the regulations.
while differently worded, have a SINH
larliy growing out Of the common knowl-
edge and experience of those who make
them. At one school in Washington
maid and man may not sit on the same
settee. although there Is no law against
their sitting on two armless chairs set

however. At the same institution it is I'M
lawful for a man to fan a girl. The rea-
son for this is something the girls them
selves have not analysed, although II
probably has something to do with the
fact that fan may be used as an i'm
plement of concealment
There is. OF course. limit and a very
strict one. to the number of dances

the same time. II sometimes happens
that one of the girls who intended TO go
to the affair is ndisposed at the last
minute, and herein lies the evasion of that
rule. Her dance program is set upon by
the rest, the places upon il are divided
as spoils. and good chance Is had to
engineer the distribution to suit the
tastes of any girls who have n fondness
for writing particular name. 1t then
becomes a problem for the chaperon who
may or may not notice the infraction of
the law through the revision upward of
the dance schedules. Another rule is

and he took advantage of the occasion

"The Three Hats" presented by the

absence of his wife, Mr. Selwyn spent
an evening in the company of Young
lady named Lottie. no other name given.
Not wishing to be caught by his wife
he gave the girl the name of his young
friend, Fred Bethany. Just as he was
leaving her his hat was knocked Off by
two men ib a scuffle and heStgot the
wrong hat leaving his own With his
name and address on the inside. The
two other men also got1the wrong hat,

young lady, also named Lottie. As he
is staying at Selwyn' g house uote from

and. the three hats are responsible for an
apparently hopeless confusion that re
