NICE GIRLS DO PET; YOUNG SOCIAL SET ‘GOING LIBERAL'.

Chaperons Are Taking Back Seats BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS*. Sf A Srvlc Writer NEW YORK. Feb. 21.—Nice girls pet, and expect to be petted. Few of them swear, but they rather admire the man who has an adequate and ingenious vocabulary. Lies are considered as necessary social expedients. Chaperons are an institution of benefit only to the very young, for girls have learned that chivalry is not dead at all, but simply has gone modernistic. Unless 20.000 young folks can be wrong, these things are true, and many another surprising transition lias come out of the jazz age. Having hastened the decline and fall of Mrs. Grundy, the younger set now has set up its own social government, and written its own declaration of independence. Social Forms Change Questionnaires concerning the behavior of men and women at theaters, proms, night clubs, house parties and all the complex social situations of the day were broadcast through the land by Doris Webster and Mary Alden Hopkins, New York authors. They quizzed college students, social registrltes and representatives of cultured society from Maine farms to Louisiana plantations, from Beacon street to Telegraph Hill. The answer they received confirmed their theory that social form has changed radically with the general speeding up of modern life. Take, for instance, the matter of swearing before women. It has never been mentioned before, and now is not indorsed unqualifiedly by the younger set, the southern clement being still conservative. But the consensus is that it depends upon the women themselves. If you couldn’t swear at least as well as they could, it would be better to forego the profanity. One bright young man said he always held back his best lines because girls are sharks at a pickup and he tried to keep them from lifting his best phrases. Girls were almost unanimously against swearing, except a greup from Park atenue, who said •‘Sure." “I try not to swear in front of men. I don’t, think they like a girl who does," said one girl. Coeds. it appeared, were mostly against this form of expression. Nice Girls Do Pet Petting came up for considerable attention, and the men showed much more emotion on the subject that women. Violently indeed did most of them declare that NICE GIRLS DO PET. A few felt that there should be some limitation, but the majority wpre opposed to any drastic disarmament. A young man from Back Bay stood quite alone on the subject. He said: "I do not know whether or not nice girls pet. but I do know I would be prejudiced against one who did.” To the question: "Do you feel free to put your arm around a girl with whom you arc not in love?” the replies were uniformly in the affirmative. "Certainly!” wrote one college student, furnishing his own exclamation point. Chaperon Nearly Out Girls admitted that the chaperon still exists, but with her influence greatly diluted, and that she should be put up with at "mixed week-end parties, formal dances, for late parties in a man's apartment, trips to boys’ schools and wherever parents or college authorities insist upon it.” Asked to define the chaperon's function in modern life, one girl replied that chaperons were permissible for the very young, say up to 16 years, and another answered simply: "They were for Brats.”

Would you be willing to use, “As is,'* this recipe for Rhubarb pie? Cut rhubarb into inch lengths to make a quart, and place in the lower crust in the pie tin. Sprinkle a mixture of 2 tablespoonfuls cornstarch and pinch of salt over the rhubarb. Cover with a top crust and bake at 450° for about 15 minutes. Finish at 350°.

Rhubarb pie without sugar! Imagine it. Yet you would have such a pie, in all its sourness, if you used this recipe. Two cups of sugar are needed. Many meals served today in countless homes are unpalatable and lacking in enjoyment because sugar has been left out. Vegetables are flat, fruits are sour and cereals tasteless.
