charges made by a hysterical girl OF

with her responsibility to dance all
or even the majority OF the dances.
She need not, Of course, watch the
young women in the party as II she
were a duenna, but she should make
q point to be In evidence all through
the party. At a small dance the
guests who know her should make It
a point to present the other young
people to her. II she is chaperoning
a certain young woman at a larger
dance then they should emphatically
present their escorts to her. Need.
less to say, the chaperon always re-
mains until the last guest or dancer
has gone. II you do not feel like re-
naming until the "wee sma' hours" do
not accept an invitation to chaperon
dance. for since the war Is over
dances are continued much later than
they have been, and unless the chap
eron has been especially enjoined by
the parents of her charges, or unless
they are very young, she should mol
object to this late dancing.
One of the most difficult tasks that
any chaperpn ever has to perform is
that OF acalling down" one OF hei
charges. Occasionally, OF course, some
daring young person will indulge IN

upon askance by proper folks. But
II the chaperon herself has moi
