DOWN WITH THE cHAPERoN,

MAN WHO rs A MODEL HOUSE,
KEEPER.
MRS. JAMES p. COHEN, president
OF the New York City Mothers
club, does not believe in chaperonage
She thinks a girls mother should 90
bring her UP that a chaperon is unnec,
cssary.
She thinks a girl is badly brought Irp
who has not learned to talk to men and
boys without false embarrassment and
is not in favor Of keeping the boys and
girls separate during their school DAYS.
Speaking of the results of the oppo-
site system of education, she says:
Il know the typical French jeuna
file. She is awkward. She IA shv
She Is fearfully and miserabIy self con-
Icious. She has nothing or poIse, moths
ing OF grace, nothing of manner or
charm or self possession. Really. ond
scarcely wonders at the popularity of
Glarried women in F'rance-they hayd
the field Of attractiveness so completed
" to themselves!
"On the contrary, the great charm o.
The Wanted American girl is not pril
nartly her beauty-that is more or les
incidental-but 1t is her easy, natural
personality. 1t is the way she enter4
4 room, the position she assumes at tn
tea table, the readiness with which shd
sonverses, the spontaneous grace of her
social attitude. This is the something
that makes it so easy to pick out an
American girl the world over and that
makes the men Of all other nations find
such pleasure in her company"
Some Of the happiest marriages il
the world are those that take place
every year in the little country towns
where the boys and girls walk home to-
gether from prayer meetings and can
dy pulls and skating parties and no,
body has heard Of chaperon.
Miss Vera Morris, the noted English
horsewoman, believes thirteen is a
lucky number. She has entered her
horses in thirteen classes at the New
York horse show.
, Miss Morris is easily at the head of
11omen horse lovers in England. She
las done much to rouse the int rest oe
women in horse exhibiting and breed
lag. She says of American horsewo-
hen:
, They are very clever in horseback
tiding and can judge of the merits OF
food horse. 1t is a pleasure to see
Them, and feel a keen delight in
bringing a string of horses can intro
luce TO such judges"
