CHAPERONS CQT/E TO STAY.

oi ty la the West.
For a long time the chaperon was
an Institution of purely European ex-
istence. By degrees a few were given
standing in social circles at the east,
hut the west resisted, insisting that the
daughters of the untrammeled region
needed no one to guide their footsteps
aright. Now the chaperon has heroine
established in every social circle from
the great lakes to the Pacific ocean,
and is recognized as having her legiti-
mate place. All unmarried women of
means and position are now chaper-
oned here. Age doesn't matter. They
are spinsters—that's enough. No fon-
der maid of 30 goes unattended. No
single woman of any age goes to the
theater alone with a man, and as for
^L'buggy riding"—the custom is un-
known. No girl goes to a restaurant
for luncheon with a youih she ha?
known from the cradle. It would not
lie correct. And it would not be en-
tirely correct either for her to get an-
other girl. No; she must have the
chaperon—the tried and seasoned vet- j
eran of matrimony—or else the pro-1
prieties will be split up the back. The;
ardor with which the cult of the chap-1
/.ron has been taken up in the west;
should make the thoughtful pause. At j
the rate we're going at we'll soon lie j
where they are in France, and it will I
he hopelessly compromising for any
of us to walk two blocks on the public
v street with a man of our acquaintance.
In fact, at the end of the two blocks,
if he should be so lacking in his duty
as a well-bred man to neglect propos-
ing, we will have to remind him of it.
In provincial France you must not
walk on the street with any man but
that fortunate one who is to lead you
to the altar. No man comes to call
on you unless he has announced to the
world in general that lie has his eye
upon you as his future wife, and then
;Iic visits are conducted in the pres-
ence of the family, one chaperon not
being adequate to cope with the situ-
ation. Should you go to the theater
with any one less close in relationship
than a father or brother your charac-
ter will be as completely lost as the
gospels of St. Peter. And if you were
to venture inside a restaurant you
would be regarded as a person com-
. I'ared to whom Nero and Caligula were

Exchanged Boxes for 8il- «?rw*re.
~ A recently married couple who re
-rived on Christmas day a great many
pieces of silver, each in the regula-
tion satin-lined box, profited by theli
sjifts in a way that tlie donors may
:iot have suspected. They collected all
their boxes on the following day anr]
returned them to the silversmiths
from whom they had been purchased,
Jnme of these cases cost almost a
much as the silver that they contained,
The dealers were willing to take tiicn'
hack at their own prices and give sil-
verware in return for them. It is the
custom of most of the big jewelers an
I silversmiths to change tha style o'
R their boxes each year.—New Y01I

Origin of tlio l'lnno.
There Lived at the court of Ferdi-
nand de Medici, about 200 years ago
a Padun harpsichord maker named
Bartollemeo Christoferi, a man of great
inventive genius. Alter many experi-
ments lie solved the problem, which,
had been a puzzle to the musical in
strument makers of the period, how
to make a satisfactory working "keyed
psaltery." and by the method he 'in-
vented of overcoming the difficulties
inherent In the task, produced an in-
strument which was the undoubted an-
cestor of the pianoforte of to-day.
From 1709—the date when Chris?toferi
made his four "keyed psalteries"—the 1
piano, at first slowly, but afterward
by leaps and bounds, went on increas-
ing and increasing in popularity, until
now its manufacture has become a
Teat industry.

Austrian ( ouiituss Oljligt <1 (o Servo as
tliien^o -Nursemaid.
An interesting case with an Ameri-
can end 1.0 it is now engaging the at-
| tcntion of the Austrian law courts,
whore Count Dps Fours-Walderode.
; scion of one -of the oldest houses of
I the Bohemian aristocracy, is being
[•called to severe account for squander-
ing the fortune of his two children, for
having neglected to give them an edu-
cation in keeping with their rank and
for having rendered himself guilty of
gross contempt of court, notably by
kidnaping his children some years
ago from the care of the guardians
appointed by law, and after he had
beeen judicially deprived of his paren-
tal rights on account of his extrava-
gance. The count, whose matrimonial
differences with his wife resulted in
a sensational divorce, the court decid-
ing that neither the husband or wife
was worthy of the guardianship of
the children, abducted his boy and
girl from their legal guardian and.
tied with them to Switzerland. On the
intervention of the Swiss courts being
invoked by the Austrian authorities
he came with them to this country,
and, according to the evidence just
produced in court, neglected them to
i such a degree that his daughter, the
j Countess Marie, now 21 years of age,
was obliged to take a position as
nurse girl in a family in Chicago un-
der the name of Marie Mertens, while
the boy, who is two years younger,
was left to pick up his own living as
errand boy in a store in New York,
also under an assumed name. Finally
the family learned of the condition oi
the two children and caused them to
be brought over to TCurope, where they
arrived penniless and wiih nothing but1
the clothes on their backs, the young
count, in spite of his 19 yeai>, being
as ignorant as a fcoy of 13. The girl
has now been placed in possession of
her share of the family fortune, which
ia large and sufficient to keep her In
comfort and affluence,while steps have
been taken to prepare the boy for the
army, his maintenance being mean-
while provided for in keeping with
his rank. Both children in court dis-
played considerable bitterness toward
their father, especially the girl, who
seems to have retained a particularly
disagreeable recollection of tho time
when she was obliged to earn her liv-
ing as nurse girl at Chicago. Today
her allowance from the family fc
tune is $20,000 a year—Baltimore Am
