Mouquin says. “I havs no doctor, no lawyer and no preacher, no cne to make me sick or annoy me. The City of New York, with prohibition and buildings t>o tall for me to see the top, | no longer appeals to me." Against Prohibition. M. Mouquin likes visitors, or at least those who do not come to offer him advice. | “I've had the experience, and I should do the talking,” h» h a decided French accent unct ¥ more than 75 years of spraking “But 1 like good company and I like to lis en 1o people who know something.” Prohibition, he says, drove him from the metropolis after ruining his busi- ness as a wine morchent. He believes the dry laws the result of women in politics, and he says he is unalterably opposed to both, With the traditional French love for good food the aged man scorns most modern restaurants. “No one wanted to make money on | food in the old days,” he said. “The | wine brought the profit, and those who didn't drink wine were served more bone than meat.” M.

Being a mother, big sister and con- fidential pal of twelve hundred or more young men is nct the easlest job in the world, but it is the jolliest. So, at any rate, insi ts Mrs. Harriet C. Rogers, official chaperon and hostess at_West Point. in the land that the chaperon business tired carriage business or the manu- facture of high laced shoes for ladies’ street wear. Suggest something of the sort to Mrs. Rogers of West Point and she will favor you with one of those merry, twinkling smiles which have made her the “sweetheart of the Cadet She spends the better part cf 365 days a year doing the very thing the extreme modernists contend is not being done at all. Sugges her ‘post and the corps rally on the dr.ll plain ting their leather Jungs out in proiest against such a calamity. “I was deligated,” Mrs. Rogers says, “when the s rintendent of the Miii- | tary Academy, Gen. Williem R. Smith, | asked me to come to West Point and be sort of an official mother—I suppose you might call it—to the cadets. Their lives are very circumscribed, you know. They have little home influence aside from the written word during their four years at the Academy. “In certain situations a man, es- pecially a young man, needs the sym- pathy and the counsel ¢f a woman, an older woman in whom he has con- fidence. He simply has to get what is bothering him socially or emotionally off his mind, or explode. My duty at We-t Point is to prove t» the cadets that I am a trustworthy repository for their confidences, th I understand and am in sympathy i their prob- lems and that I can help them find a satisfactory answer to those prob- t ebolishing will ho'd a Not Old-Fashioned Way. “These duties are not fulfilled through the tight-lipped, sharp-eyed duenna methods of the ocld-fasnioned chapzron. accomplished by a capacity to project one’s self backward into ons’s own youth, to actually feel young and to act young. And at the same time to bz able to supply youth with the w.sdom of experience ‘without making experi-nca seem like disagreeable medicine.” Tact and good humor are the first requirements of the modern chaperon. Mrs. Rogers has both in abundant quality. She needs them when she has | to convey a pretty and peppy girl hav- ing the “whirl of her life” at a cadet hop that miss may not dance until she has donn°d stockings—limbs au natural gel’ng against dance regulations at West oint. On the matter of the propriety of clothes, Mrs. Rogers decides when the | limit has been past by girls visiting the Point—the offic.al chaperon is most em- phatic. “I am occasionally amaz=d.” she says, “at the sbandon of girls, especially as concerns evening dresses. Girls are not fair to young men when they diess I do not believe such an offense part of most girls who commit it. They just don't think, and if they do, they imagine they are being daring and dashing. 3 “This attempt of girls to be alluring in a way no really considerate girl would v-nture is especially crass at ‘West Point, where the young men are 80 punctilious in dress, their slim- waisted gray coats buttoned tightly over their chests, brass buttons shin>d to mirror smoothness, chins held high above upstanding collars, white gloves immaculat>.

A girl from some remote village re- ceives an invitation to spend June Week at West Point. The cadet who is “dragging” (entertaining) the girl takes his problem to Mrs. Rogers. She writes to the girl's mother and offers to take over the task of seeing daughter will receive the proper care. 1f advice is sought she will give valuable informa- tion on what daughter will need by way Sne will be waiting for daughter when the girl arrives and will | make the young prairie flower feel as | much at home as though the visit was being made to a favorite aunt.

As to Mrs. Rogers' status with the corps itself, the fact a great number of its members, who have reason to know her adequacy to their needs, call her “Bill,” should give a concrete notion of the ccmaraderie existing between the official chaperon and her gallant young charges. An interesting point is that Mrs. Rogers dcesn’t look in the least Jike “Bill.” She is medium height, dis- tinguished In carriage, frosty-haired and a real beauty of the matron type. Her blue eyes are warm and smiling even when her lips are serious. She is the picture of your mother as you would have her lock at the times you want to be most proud of her.
