And they enter into it with the younger set with a zest that ie at once apprecl-' ated, and which enhances rather than lessens respect, for parental opinions. No longer do. our daughters, demure. and decorous. dance beneath the tlpx- like eyes of austere chaperons pos- sessed of little, if any, uhderatauding of youth. Now the role of chaperon Is more often than not fulfilled by rile modern "Peter Pan" mother—herself and ardent dancer, able to enjoy lire and et the same time "keep an eye" - on her charges. Not Like the Old. Soulless Chaperon. Modern daughters, I ani sure, are thankful tor this state of affairs, for they cqn choose the partners they really want without fear that they will be frightened off by the snobbish dtedain'and paipabie disapproval that more often than not greeted then In the days of soulless chaperons. Modern mothers have lass obvious tactics, and use cleverer methods when dealing with their children's choices. They are fully aware tbat opposition only enhances desire, and that many Y o the undesirable alliances and clandestine elopements of the past were but the result ot some quite unjustified embargo put on their lib- erty by an officious and uneyinpathe• tic chaperon. Chen when a modern mother regis- ters disapproval of a friendship= which is not ottoit, for' the effect of their flew freedom itas been to Make young people thetnselves more die. criminating—she employs methods ot her own in dealing with this kind of problem. Site is much more broadanlnded than the chaperons were, and having remained young with her children, she uhderstands better the reasons for a f"lendi'lifp of atteehment. And, anyway. her daughter will probably have mid her. "because modern moth- ers are so companionable tied under- btandleg."

"It was extraordinarily interest- ing," he said, "Here was one leaflet —in red—all promises of expenditure; bribery arrayed in scarlet. This was the party that 'was criticising. Of what did they boast? In 1923 the Conservative Government spent £1,- 000,000 more on education, £3, 000,- 000 more on housing, 11,000,000 more on health services and £13,000,000 more on pensions than the Socialist Government spent in 1324. "Another leaflet stated: 'During the lifetime of the present Conservative Government expenditure • on social services by the State old looal autlt' brities increased by £50,000,000, from £382,000,000 in 1924: That was the year when the Socialists were in of- fice.

They have had considerable success in disaffecting the illiterate miners and domestics in the Transvaal and the dockers and other classes of na• true labor in Natal.
