Cellars Are as Out-of
Date as Petticoats

The cellar is dead; long live its
successor, the. basement and utility
floor, declares Eugene ID. Milener,
of the Consolidated Gas Electric
Light and Power Co. of Baltimore,
Md.
''Time was when every house had
cellar" Mr.. Milener says. "The
cellar was the place the architect
forgot. 1t was destined neither for
utility nor beauty. Dull, drab place
that 1t was, is there any wonder that,
through lack of attention, the cellar
got worse and worse as the years
went on, until in nearly every house.

doesn't matter how the weather
changes outside. A little thermostat
upstairs has conspired with the gas
boiler to have each room in the house
warm and cozy every morning be-
fore the first person gets up"
The other gas appliances that
have spelled the doom of tip old
white-washed cellar are the water
heater, incinerator, refrigerator, and
laundry equipment.
"These comfort-giving gas appli-
ances occupy only half of the space
in the utility floor" Mr.. Milener
continues. "Many are the billiard
tables, wicker chairs, motion picture
rooms, card rooms, and dens always
ready to cheer. Several notable
surgeons use their new utility floor
for examination and operating
rooms.
"The new architecture in the base
ment is csrtain to become increas-
ingly popular. It has met the test
of usefulness and beauty. 1t is des-
tined to have more effect on the
habits and comforts of mankind than
many achievements heralded far and
wide"

A Key to Culture
The Chaperone

Many girls are self-reliant almost
from childhood and do not neces-
sarily need a chaperone. Fate en-
bowed them early with responsibility
of womanhood. But the safeguarded
girl who is inexperienced and enters
society as a sensitive, human-nature-
trusting child, needs chaperone.
Society, to this young girl, is May
fair. With the happy future yelled
just beyond, she goes to meet pos
sible romance and to traverse a cir
Gle of events that mayhaply round
up in wedding ring. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that she shall not
be left at the mercy of accidental
meetings, indiscreet judgments and
the needless impulses of inexperi-
enced youth, which may effectually
blight her future in its bud.
A parent does a girl incalculable
injury in allowing her to enter So
ciety life without chaperonage. The
"watchcare" is not so much for ply
steal protection as for the example
of teaching her that fine conduct
and discretion will forestall the pos
sibility of unpleasant experiences.
1t is not the safest or wisest thing
to allow girls. and boys of the teen
age to go around too much unattend-
ed by any adult. Among the parents

of several children there certainly is
some parent who cares enough about
his children and their associates to
become a chum and be at once a
magnet to draw them to more ma
ture and valuable ways of thinking.
The absolute condition of chap
eronage exists during the novitiate
of the young society woman. The
requirements grow less and less rigid
as the young woman grows more and
more experienced and learns to
meet social emergencies for herself.
That delicate ignoring of woman's
age, which is shown, in calling her
"girp until she is married also
permits her to be a chaperonaged
member of society until that event.
We are proud of the American
girl-the one who is essentially a
lady, whether rich or poor; the one
whose sterling good-sense is equal
to her emergencies; the one who is
self-reliant without being bold, firm
without being overbearing, brainy
without being masculine, strong of
nerve-but VT lady!
The chaperpne who is to take the
W VIZ p tAfAAN 10 CApSCltu W lnCul-
cate within her charges the same
principles, allow the same advan-
tages, and inspire them with the
same pleasant influence of the
parent.
If the practice of chaperoning
young ladies were more regular we
believe that we would have more
chaste a group of young people in
time to come than at present. Young
people who become accustomed to
chaperonage find that they have
more social freedom with their pres
ence than otherwise. 1t is easy to
believe that in after years, when
girls life has developed safely and
happily under this discreet leader
ship, she will look back to this guild
ance and thank somebody wiser than
herself that she escaped the follies
that more or less injured the pros
poets of her young friends, who
were too independent" to submit
to the restraints of chaperonage and
who, for lack of it, found themselves
to a relative extent deprecated in
social estimation.
