Pretty Young Widows for Chaperones.

Widows young and pretty head the list of chaperones. They are looked upon as altogether desirable. Two giddy creatures at the beginning of this season went to a charming widow, whose face is her fortune, and said: “Now, see here, Mrs. , won’t you act as our chaperone for this summer? It shall not cost you a cent, and yon will hit it off immensely with the men.” “Yes, do, please,” echoed her companion. “We want a good drawingcard and not a scarecrow for a chaperone.” Without a doubt the comfortablelooking dowager is still to be found • who indulges in stolen naps in out-of-the-way nooks while her dear girls flirt/ to their hearts’ content. —Memphis Avalanche. Bronson— What an unselfish man Brown is! Always sacrificing himself for the sake of some friend. Parker— And what has he done now ? Bronson— Why, he’s just ran away with Tim, Henpeck’s wife.
