WHERE CHAPERONS FLOURISH
Lea Freedom for Girls In, Foreign
Colonies Than Their Ameri
can Slater.
It Is hard for middle aged Immigrant
women to understand the absence of chap
eronage In this country.
Italian women seek to enforce the rule
that girls shall not go about In publlo
places unaccompanied by an older woman.
The girls, on the other hand, seeing the
freedom enjoyed by American girls, resist
the enforcement of the rule. The easiest
way to solve the problem Is to marry the
girls oft early, and that Is Just what every
Italian mother tries to do. Even here the
mothers have trouble, for the Italian girl
plcka up American notions of marrying
and giving In marriage and Is apt to rebel
when her parents provide her with a hus
band after the fashion approved tn Italy.
Chaperonage In one form or another
exists In the Jewish quarter of New York
and early marriages are the rule.
The Irish care less for chaperonage than
the Italians, but Irish families new to the
country are a bit shocked at the freedom
of young girls here. In fact there is a
rather atrong aense among the moat con
servative and old-fashtonel Irish families
that a woman, and particularly an un
married woman, should not be seen alone
upon the street save in going to and from
church, and there are strict Irish women
who rarely appear In their best clothes
on the st Doe t merely for a pleasure prom
enade. Newly arrived Germans fetch with them
severe notions as to the freedom of young
girls, and German girls In public places are
apt to be accompanied by older women. If
there Is a young man In the case he, goes
to the weln stube along with the girl's
family, and "only the emancipated girl sits
alone with her lover.
In the Hungarian restaurants of the
East Side one occasionally catches a
glimpse of a young kitchen maid through
a rear doorway. Such a girl, however,
rarely appears in the restaurant proper,
and If she does she Is apt to hurry through
tn her working clothes on some errand,
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, and manifestly anxious to escape ob
servation. French girls with family homes are never
ronaptcuous on the streets of New York
or at places of amusement. About the only
place where they are much seen tn public
Is at the celebrations of the French liberty
day In July, when they go with their
parents to a beer garden and play games
or dance.
It is among the Spanish reajdenta of the
United States that chaperonage Is most
severely maintained. No well brought up
Spanish girl In an American community
ventures upon the street without her
duenna. The girls themselves wear the
mantilla and carry the fan, so that they
are almost as If in mask.
Wherever a remnant of old Spanish
civilisation survives tn the west there the
duenna la a regularly recognized Institu
tion. It is said. Indeed, that In some
western communities even native Ameri
cans have adopted a modified form of the
duenna system. San Francisco, where
tnoat persons expect to find a society pretty
free from conventions, baa strung trace
of the old Spanish duanna system, and
young men do not And it aaay to escort a
girl even to a matinee.
In any foreign colony where the chaperon
system Is maintained local sentiment Is
severe toward those who conform (o the
American, practice. It Is the young people
who are In rebellion against tfe ayswm, I
and who look with envy upon native Amer
lean girls.
Association In the public schools and th
neressslty of earning a living help to
emancipate girls of foreign parentage, but
the older heads of families are apt to look
upon the practices of their America
neighbors as scandalous. The churches,
whether Catholic or Protestant, if serve
by clergymen of foreign birth and train
Ing, are apt to aide with the parents In up
holding chaperonage.
NEW VAGARIES OF THE SCARF
Gown from Trousseau of Famoaa
French Actress laed In
New I'lny.
One of the famous French actresses In a
new play reoentiy launched wore a frock
of white chiffon of princess design and
single silhouette, such as Is adopted for so
many of the French lingerie frocks, and
trimmed with multitudinous tiny horl
sqntal tucks and narrow lines of Valen
ciennes. A wide scarf of exquisite flowered
ribbon, soft, lustrous and bordered by a
two-Inch band of black velvet, was draped
over the shoulders and drawn down to
each side of the waist line In front, where
It was held by small oral buckles, the ends
falling In short, rounded tabs below. In

the baok the scarfs ran to the waist line.
where they were held by a single, rather
large buckle, below which they fell In long
sash ends.
Apropos of scarf and pelerine shoulder
draperies such effects' all classified broadly
under the head of fichu draperies, are
among the most favored of the accepted
modes and as the season progresses one
sees more and more stress put upon this
Idea. Drapery falling . very low over the
shoulder Is not becoming to all figures
and the sloping shoulder effect should be
adopted with reservations) by the average
woman. ' f
Again the same note Is repeated In a
frock pictured In the sketch, but in this
model the drapery Is of flowered silk mous-
sellne bordered' by two darrow bands of
black liberty. In the original model this
flowered moussellne was painted by hand
and the drapery was worn over a skirt of
point d'esprlt Inset with lace and hand
painted moussellne motifs, but the same
effect may be obtained In the lovely printed
moussellnes, with applique of the floral de
sign upon the skirt, and the superb flowered
ribbons are often used in much the same
fashion.
Hot Tamnlea.
Boll chicken until very tender, remove
bones and chop fine. To each pound of
meat add one medium sized tomato and
onion, chopped fine. Use salt and red
pepper to taste; moisten to the consistency
or mush with the broth. Heat the re
mainder of the broth to boiling and stir
In cornmeal until it is a little stlffer than
ordinary mush, and cook thoroughly. Take
nice, fresh corn husks, soak In warm
water until soft, then spread an Inch layer
of mush on each husk, put a good spoon
ful of meat mixture on that, roll so the
meat is entirely covered by the mush and
all of the husk, turn In the ends, tie with

In the husks. Nice tamales may be made
In the same way with fresh beef or pork.

LIVELY DEBATE ON POWER
Warm Discussion Ensues Over Report
at Seal Estate Exchange.
HARRISON FINDS NASH RIGHT
Comt Ittee Reommends City Vote
Bonds for Power Development
If Out aide Capital Does
Not Do It.
After several weeks of Investlg-atlon, the
special committee appointed by the Real
Estate exchange to inquire Into the cost
of power In Omaha, submitted Its report
to the members at the regular meeting
Wednesday at the Commercial club. The
report precipitated a lively debate and was
placed on file, with the committee con
tinued Indefinitely for future service.
Mr. Harrison, a member of the commit
tee, said the contention of F. A. Nash,
president of the Omaha Electric Light
and Power company, that power In Omaha
Is being given as cheap as any city In the
country where there is no competition
from water power had been substantiated
and that, while power was high In com
parison to that secured from hydroelec
tric companies, the difference In cost to
small consumers was not such as to be a
detriment to the location of new manufac
turing Industries In the city.
8. P. Boatwlck, president of the ex
change, and Harry Tukey, secretary, who
were sent on the great northwest trade
excursion as representatives of the ox
change, submitted their reports. Mr. Bost
wlck was of the opinion that prices for
Omaha real estate, business and resldehce,
were lower than that of the western cities
visited and that Omaha was on a more
stable foundation than many of the boom
ing cities of the northwest. R. C. Peters
and William J. Dermody, members of the
exchange, who were on the boosters' excur
sion, also gave brief addresses on real
estate and buslneaa conditions observed
on the trip, and Mr. Peters gave It as his
opinion that loans made on Nebraska and
Omaha real estate were mucn aaier kiu
remunerative than those on property in me
West.
Report on Power Question.
TVm following report regarding the power
question was submitted, but definite action
was not taken and the report was for
mally received:

Becond-We huve been able to examine

power project compiled by prominent hy
draulic engineers. Also expert reixrta on j
the Fremont and Seymour park projecta, 1
and find that all of these projects are
practicable trom an engineering,
a financial etandpolnt and thut If anyone
of these power enterprises was dvoloped,
electrical power could be delivered In
Omaha at 30 or less per twelve-horse-powr,
and at such prices, there would be
a large profit to the canal company. We
have many reasons for thinking that tho
promoters of the Columbus water power
have made financial arrangementa to ae
cure the 4.6d0.ouu capital necessary to de
velop and transmit 41,uo0 twelve-hour-hors!-por
to Omaha. The three different expert
reports examined by ua all agree that at
least 41,(w electrical horsepower on a
twelve-hour basis can be generated and If
this amount were aold at per horse
power on a twelve-hour basis. It will enable
the promoters to earn over 20 per cent pur
annum on the total coat of the develop
ment, and such development! can be du
plicated at Schuyler, Fremont and Omaha,

Third We do not believe that the de
velopment of water power, three and a
half miles northwest of Columbus would
create a rival manufacturing fit y at Co
lumbus. While such power would be more
or less beneficial to Columbus, Schuyler snl
Fremont, yet the great benefit of such de
velopment must come to Omaha, where the
market la to be had for tne power and
where other necessary manufacturing ad
