(Newcz Eclectic. Ahout Flir(atlon, '1hlie Saturday.-Review contains an itarticle on the subject of flirting, .not ilappropiato to the season. We need not follo*w the writer into the picturesque details of the topic, but refer to the point with vOhich the paper closos, that "flirt i6t with intent is a cruel, a false, and a heariess amusement ; and time as wV1hti "ci-uelty anild false hood'. Were 6ssentially sins that vitiated all claims to gentlehood." .Wo aro quite disposed to agree with this sentiment. But in th'e same bMreah 'tlh essayist says. "And yet the world would be very dull without that innocent kind of nonlkisens which goes by ithe name of flil-ti--that pleasant some O,ing which -- is mor- fl mo tn e ac qiiahnanceship and less than for mal loverhood-that indefinito in torest, by lelh the one man or the oie voman becomes a kind of microcOSosm for 1ho timn, and epi tom of' ill that is lovoly."

The ht is, to eall flirting "ai innocent kind of nonsenso," is to talk light. ly of every piisonous folly. It, is too often the wieked diversion of thoughtless women and silly -men, or of women of designing temper, and men of a dispositioi to iatch. 'Vhe slighted young wolienl vho have beent disappoint od and thrown over by airtists in flirtation are not, at all to be re arded as sufelring angels, but it is: usefuil to consider that, ifter their eyes'have been dried, a little l'rdenling of the heart will set in, niot, at all likely to make them more angelic than they wo'ro born to beC.

I It was only last month that a Lon don barrister read out in court tho letters of an erratic bagnian who had jilted a. dress-makor as bril han thy as a guardsman might have jilted the daughter of' a rural I squire.

In too many examlples the wo- t man has suffered.the worst betray f al, sho not having as many things, I probably, to distract hor mind as < her sister in highor circles. 1-lore, indeed, the amusoment is not of ( au innocent kind, and the counsel t fbi- th ldefendant has, as we know, constantly to struggle for a miti gation of damages by throwing in I observations as to the conduct of t the plailitiff, also incolsisten t with ( the view that flirtation is a harm- E less recreation. But it may be i said that flirtation is the luxury f of the rich; poor people cannot af- I ford the otertainment, or when < they go about it blunder into un- t seemly catastrophes. It is doubt fil -whether the well-to-do after all are not worse off from tho cus tom than those beneath them. Whatwas the meaningof the girl of 1 the period scandal? Why are wo- I mien accused of' heartless selfish ness and extravagance ? It may be, wo Suspect that they have I sickened of honest- love when so I often disappointed of it, and have I then taken to the drugged cup of' flirtation. London this year has< not been free from strange rumors 1 of the consequences of' "this inno cent kind of nonsenso" in various I quarters. A little smoko in this I enso shows a great deal of smonl- I dering firo, and modern society nceds no instructions or incitations I to "that bright and animated ii Lorcour-so which makes tio honra pass so easily."
