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

tom of' ill that is lovoly." It is

that we s hoihl on no account,

In: dealing with this subject it is
'tbo'oflten forgoptte'n that therb Is a- 4
class of persons iudh donceirned 4
in it who may suffor consid6rably
from tho'notion that Oirting "is
'n.i*no6cent, kind of amusement." 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. Whenever those broach i
of promise cases turh up, wo may
observo thegrossness of the vice ;
of flirtation with the gilding quite I
rubbed off it.
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." Tho Saturday Re
i4ezw hint-i that to go too flar is to e
spoil the sport. fLike Wiln0, or to- C
baceo, or the byciclo, you may t
have too much of a good thing. J
HirtatiOl is one of the fe accom
plishnients, luxuries, or sins, fron
which wo would recommend total
abstinenco t'o tho majority of la
dies and gentlomell. In1timacios
will spring up of a spontanoous
and agreeable kind between men
and women, which need in no re
spect resemible that foo!ish, selfish,
or guilty exhibition of temporary
cemotions m11ildly termed flirtation,
but w iiel is simply i constructive
apology for derelictions of modest,
behavior.

How to be Handsome.
Now, not- ovory one can havo
good features. They aro as God
mado them ; but almost iy onle
can look well, especially -with good
health. It is hard to give rules in
a very short space, but in brief
these will do:
Keep cleau ; wash freely and
universally, with cold water. All
the skin 'wants is loavo to act
freely, and it will take care of it
self. Its thousand of air holes
mtst tiot be plugged up.
Eat regularly aid simply. ThIe
stomach can no more work all the
Lime, night and day, than a horso;
it. lsi,t have regular work and
rcgulas. rest.
Good teeth are a help to goo(l
looks. Brush them with a soft
brust, capecially at night. Go to
bed with teeth clean. 01 course,
to have white teeth, it is neetil to
let tobacco alone. Every woman
knows that. And aiy powdor or <
wash for the tooth should b) very I
simple. Acids mayv whiton the I
teed h, bu t they take oil the enaIel i
or injurl0 it.
Sleep inl a cool room, inl pure lir.
