Lately a iinnor has been going about Ihe I.omlou itmwlng-roonis that est ?easoa Is lo see the institution or chape rons done away with altogether, nnd society at the If cal Faid ho rnr Americanized Hint our young ladles are to go lu I alls by themselves, With no oilier rare-laker than a brother pur baps, or a delightful male cousin convenient to the occasion. lUuibtlesa such au arrange ment would simplify mati ors greatly: It would certainly alluviale the BiH'iVriiign of the clmpe * " son?, while the young ladles ami ibeir pari ners would lind nothing left tlieni to desire. Wbelhor It would work well In the eyes or those who hold the doctrine of the giddinesso! youth, ami who therefore think the guardian ship uf.lho young one of the primary duties ol maturity, is another matter, but If wo come to liking?polling the young ladles and their nude cousins only ?wo should surely poll a largo luujoi liy In favor of the abolition of n class which (tili more than it preserves, und which has come to be too much of a symbol only, (hough retaining all the pnlir? und penall les of Til ni reality. The duties of ; ehnperon are manifold, and, on the surface, of tilings, contradictory to n bewildering extent, she ! as to attract and to guard, (o allure ami lo retrain, lo I brow (he line dexterously and will' Intent, bid lo pro vent too much Independent fluttering on I ho part of (be ball, ami lou.mr.cll nibbling ou (lie part of llioflsli angled (or; and yet, without lltiltering and without nibbling bow can she get a valid Ute? She has to take her wares to market; but she ha.1 fo .surround Iheiil with artful contrivances of defence-work, while uellinglbem forth as* attractively as may be; she baii lo work bard lo destroy the health, purity ami freshness on which slio bases her best hopes; nnd she lias to loll for her own undoing, und I o labor for no reward. This is ibo ethical view of a chaperon's life. Tbo practical, or real condition, Is even barder lo understand: nnd how the institution overgrew Inlo what it has bow become, and on what principle It Is (blinded, tiro mysteries scarcely to be explained. In'France n chaperon la tin absolute power, with strictly defined duties and sharply marked responsibilities, she holds her charge Its a very frail vessel Indeed, whom she has not only to keep from evil In fluences fron? the outside, but whose Inherent weakness and propensity to fall Into mlsciilof voluntarily and on her owii account liavo to bo perpetually guarded against; the coi.tnd pobit of all French morals being Ihe lunate ilu|inivlty of hume i nature, und more especially the In nate depravity efihu young. Consequently men know what they bava to expectwhon they encounter au ingenue taken abroad Inlo tho world under the eyes of bor chaperon or her mother. They know that when they load her out lo dunce (boy must keep within ear shot of her chaperon, mid be careful not to speak to her fit all when Ihe exigencies of die llgure havo removed them from hearing ins tance. They know that they must bring her back lo uunnnn the Instant thcdtuicu Is ended, and deposit her with a foriiiiil bow safe under the protecting shadow wailing to envelop her. 'fhoy know that ihoy would- be hekl lo have acted In n manner both malhonntte and repro hensiblu If they said or did liny tiling whatso ever that might touch her feelings or urotujc her Intelligence. And knowing all I lilt*, tliov (rent their picliv intf'enuo with QuV*mrr(r*rklUd of cam with which. Vney uOii'lTuae.dlc a fragile | wax doll.; r-w.". judge uf lior real nature, If the, Jude." 01 Her al all, as they best can by the mere sketch afforded them by her .face and bearing ami thu timid tones of lier voice, 7??-Iii-hl,jr,.H.W" "???1 which ils not always, ntupld as all Hum is, boil, f?r the ingenue and her pnnner, It Is thoron<i'u; mmI it? nertept M as the logical conclusion of certain foregone premises. Olren n frail youth, much iu ellnod to naughtiness, and having to be kept slraishi by thu lorco of outside circumstance, by the care nud restiic (Jon and unceasing vigilance of tlto na tnro whom experience has made wi.te. not to say suspicious und distrustful, n?id we can understand Um French system, lltougb wo may not agree with It. (liven, on the other band, the American Idea lh.it tho earth and all Ihe fullness thereof la made for Ihe young only, and that the first dury of boys and g?rls, as soon us 1 hoy lea vo the school-room, is to shelve the old folks and go ahead without delnv? given the natlounl belief In the power of nil the young people io guide themselves origin quite as well and a great deal better than Uielr elders can guide them?and we can under stand why chaperons uro discarded ovr-rlho water; and why the theory of Ijivlr nucesslty is 'scouted as an Insult lo the free and en lightened Juveniles who maintain that no dangers exist among themselves as a*.i un checked body, for which advice Is needed or guardianship required. Bolt may lia. r. en von Forbid that we should Judge; and mlrnoles bel?g not Impossible, transatlantic nature may bo dur?rent from European humanity, and the flro of youth may (wlio knows?) be able to bum clear without smoke or Hare In the home of the setting sun. Nevertheless, It docs scorn to us somewhat strange to boar of splendid balls whore crowds of smartly-dress ed nnd quite respectable young women have not the ghost of a chaperon among them; of ' sleighing parties In the brisk winter moon light, with never u wary father or cautious mother to guard I ho lambs from the wolves; of torchlight skating on the crowded "rinks," with no prudent guardian to steady the loiter ing footsteps' Inexp?rience, a:ul provide against tho* dangers of n fall 0:1 such allppcry ground. To n French mother, to whom oven our much more restricted freedom seams a dangerous templing of Providence, such ways. and manners are ol course anathema maranuthn, and not to be accepted as possible with Innocency; nud mauy are tho equivocal positions in which a free-spoken, free-acting American girl places horself, nud much ami grave liio misunder standing to which she subjects herself, ell in (ho nnlvcst maunor possible, when first she enters French society, and learns to her aston ishment that young girls nre supposed lo bo given over hopeleisly Into tho power of tho Evil One unless they have a chaperon ulwnvs at their elbow to pluck them back by main loroo. But to us this Is an amount of liberty 1*7 no means desirable; and more than one llel grnvian mother has heard with til-may whis pers of the coming revolt, when our English yonng ladles intent! to adopt Ilm American ling, be their own generals and lieutenants, nnd cashier nil their chaperons m so many woru ont dummies of no u.m whatever. * . Now, ltsoema lo ua (k;it this Is revolt quite without cause. Heaven knows Hint It is not much that chaperons do now-a-days to rcntrnin the independent ncllon of the voting, or to In terfere with their liberty. Very few place nny limits to ihe amount of pleasure Indulged In during the season; and qulle us much flirting as is good for Ihn soul of man or woman is nT lowcd lo go on under the eyes of tho most YRtchful. Certainly chaperons, ns an instiiii (ion, 8(111 exist and nourish largely; but It would bp difficult to discover their exact unes, H we except the uses of VloariotlBllCSS and responsi bility. If girls were wise, they would know that no freedom Is so great us Huit which Is got by the shifting or responsibility. So long as they have a chaperon on whom (o lay ihe bui-don of their follies, they may he as Impru dent as they like; but once Ici 10 themselves, they enler Into the difficulties of rospoiif Ibllli v, and, If they have more freedom than even now, Hioy have nl.io to bear mor? blame for mistakes. . As things are, the chaperons bear the brunL for them; and If they are faster than they plight to be, people condemn mamma for al lowing them (0 l>go on so," more than they blame the girls for using their overplus of "berty. They will find this out to their cost, irthoy. translnle the whispered threat Inlo an active liberty. To bo sure, such radical changes rake time (0 complete themselves, and I hough year by year baa seen iho gradual exllnction of tho chaperon's moral vitality, and season aftor season has mailo her functions more and ( more mythic, while appearances nre held as essential as ever, still It will bo long yet before English society will consent to bo headed bv young unmarried girls?before the grace anil good Inherent In at least the ld?n of a govcr nante Is disregarded, and our maidens aro left to go right and loft at their sweet wills, with out a chaperon to counteunucc them, or & care (okor to restrain. It may nil come In tlmo, und probably will, according to the way thlnur? nre fr-lng; but net just yet,-wo won!* hope. j Uni ihtj purson tu be most pilled tu ull lld? Is the chnpoion herself, for whom lt. vrouUl be u relief unspeakable i( some good working ?ub slltutc could bo devised, somo quite satia Ihctury machlnory, which would release lier from her wenn* ollH-e while performing her duties. What a lire tiers IB ! Hair dead with Bleep and ruligue, slic has to sit for hours lu a heated, sliding room, cliokoil with dust, dazed with the Incessant Hitting <>i whirling figures before her, stunned with ilntice-ntimlo which she hates: seeing money, procloua money, Tall in" lu showers i>r torn tarlutans und crushed llowcra ou the lloor, without nny result to make up for It; seeing, perhaps, the prize Air which she has so long mid craftily angled, nib bling at some rival ball, whllo a worthless rounder son or ruined heir pertinaciously holds on In hers no uralter what thoclforls made lo shako him Off. Sho Is no longer young, poor body, and br.s probably outlived her own capacity for pleasure. The days when music nnd dancing ami a crowd gave her de light are far among the mlsl or the im-d; her dress may be still a glory to her. Tor lids Is the last personal vanity which dies with a woman; l??t oh ! If she could exchange nil this Dnory for an unpretending suck nl llneu, and go lo sleep comfortably In the dark, instead of blinking here, set up In nllks und salins, nod ding In time to the rhythm or the wullr.. She is shaken in health, nu who would not be alter such n youth, and now such a maturity as hers? btit the frightful roiiud of the season has to bo done gallantly; ami there Is no re Icuso for her till Die house id up, when she can escape for a brief time or rust and early hours, broken by nothing more severe than a lawn parly or u plctiic. Her girls look nt thlugs dliloroully; and t'ulnk themselves very liardlv used 11 they cannot keep the poor soul up night niter night, till three or four o'clock, while Ihey amuse themselves with llirtlng, tecs und den? temps. It Is her duty and they hold her to It strictly; and make her bear her burden without wincing. Hud us it Is lo see the voting lade and wither toward the end of the season; llus haggard, jaded, dispirited chaperon i:> an object 01 grenier pity still. Too young Illings at least have bud their Mag, and been excited and amused, ho that the bargain has not been quite barren w'dh I hem; but the chaperon has lost lier health nnd her rest lor no result whatever: she bus forfeited her peace, she has spent her substance, sho has tingled in (he shallows, und fished In the deep seas, and cast her nets far and wide In every water; she has tolled all llio night, but nine times out of leu In Ihcxu wife-forswearing days she has taken nothing, and her labor has been lu vain, and her portion but vanity ami vexation of spirit. / t U A R D 1 A N M U T U A I. br I.
