The Chaperon at Home and Abroad. A writer in THE NEW IDEA WO MAN'S MAGAZINE for February con cludes that the English custom of chaperoning girls has its raisou d'etre not so much iu the necessity of pro* tccting the girls as in the desiie to meet the requirements of the aristo cratic classes by conforming to con ventions. The Knglish girl, it ap pears, docs not go unchaperoncd, be cause "her doing so would be taken us an Indication that she was not ao customed to good society and didn't know the proper thing." It is also stated that although thU custom la rigidly observed. English women and girls of spirit rather resent, on the whole, the curtailing of their liberty, and ''are unanimous in prais ing the healthful freedom and more natural conditions that obtaiu in the States." Yot observant people on this side of the wuter may see yearly a growing emulation of things social as practiced by the older nations, so much go that even our "healthful freedom" and "natural conditions" will have to be carefully guarded if they are to be preserved in their simplicity.
