great demand for deaf dumb and blind

When 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
tire, buy one of the seats in the gal
lery.
One guy called on dame, and when
he saw the chaperone, he left the
dame at home and took the chaperone.
The girl had to be home by eleven,
but the chaperone could stay out till
one.
But most chaperones are homely and
this is the only way they get chance
to go out.
Chaperones are the reason why so
many girls get taken home on the
