Times are changing chaperones are.
coming back into style. There is a.
great demand for deaf, dumb and
blind ones.
When a guy goes out with his girl,
he likes to be alone. Chaperones are.
like small brothers; you can speak
more freely without them.
If you do have to have an escort
when you take your girl to. the thea
ire, buy one Of the seats in the gall
lery.
one guy called on a dame, and
when he saw the chaperone, he left
the dame at home and took the chap.

The girl had to be home by eleven,
but the chaperone could stay out. till
one.
But most chap;erones aie homely and
this is the only way they get chance
to go out sa #
Chaperones are. thdy reason SO many
girls get taken home 6nS the street car.

to go along with you. She doesn't eat
any more than your girl; it only seems

makes it a corporation Ell
You can't even propose to your girl
alone. One cross-eyed guy proposed
to his girl and the chaperone accepted
him. ..ss
And just because he was cross-eyed
he cot sued for breach Of promise.
He proposed where he was looking,
but he didn't look where he was pro-
posing. # 81.

failure of last nights confer

shops with non-union en-
ployes, according to q high
official of the United States

quoted directly, said peace moves
would be suspended for the pres

were unable to find any common
ground for starting negotiations

Tho stumbling block in the path
Of settlement, it was said at the
railroad board, will be the unions
demand for restoration Of seniority
and other privileges to the strikers.
The roads indicated to Chairman
Hooper that the men who have
stuck to their employers and tho
new employees enlisted will be pro-
tected in the seniority they have
thereby attained.
