KKITISH CHAPERONE IS
RACK ON THE JOIt
, «*****r******j
LONDON. .June M, The chaperone'
is i('appearing in London, after more ;
than four years of absence because of
the war. American women, the society .
loaders say, are responsible, because
they want to see London, and inde* |
pendent and self reliant as they are,
they do not want to see it without the
assurance they will he well chaperon
ed.
Th ' chaperone, once a well estab
lished institution in England, lost her
calling when women went in for war
wo’k. Many a young girl who had ovt'r i
ventured from home without the guid- |
ing hand of a chaperone took to driv
ing an ambulance, while others wcr<* ;
installed in the “Wanes ” the “Raffs’*
or some one of the many other wo
men’s organizations which had to do
with prosecution of the \var. These
vigorous young women had no use fn. t
chaperones.
The American women who want ,
chaperones also are warworkers, Red '
Cross, Young Women’s Christian As* j
sociation aids and others who are here.
They, too. are self reliant and inde- ,
pendent but when they doff their un:* |
forms and go out to see London or j
spend a part of their very little leis- j
ure time in the gaieties of the city. |
they feel they ought to subscribe t' |
the convention.
