PUNISHING A FLIRT. BY MISS CAROLINE B. FAIRFIELD. CHAPTER I. For myself, I confess a fondness for male flirts. My friend, Kate Stanley, would say a weakness. I like their pretty practical way of pleasing. I like all those little delicate at- tentions and languishing airs they are wont to play off. They please my fancy ; they flatter my vanity, besides offering to my view a rather interesting phase of human natare. I am very fond of studying them, and more than once I have caught myself playing the innocent and interesting novice, in order to draw them out ‘‘ horse and foot,” that I might gain a more thorough knowledge of their line of strategy - It is not for the sake of self-defenco that I pursue these investigations. It is not that I at allintend to make use of the knowledge thus gained in warding off their shafts. It is only a sort of metaphysical anatomy that I thus practice in an amateur way ; and my re- sults are often sufliciently curious and amusing to repay the hazard of the operation My friend Kate has often represented to me the danger of this littie amusement of mine— for Kate, albeit, she is as smart and witty as any other of her name, is a specimen of the orthodox cast of womanhood, and scorns a flirt, or at least I have often heard ber say so in by-gone times. And I have as often con- fessed the probable truth of her predictions ; but still it is a failing (if failing at all) which I despair of overcoming I have indeed a strong presentiment that I shall some time falla victim tomy own spirit of reward in this department of science, but still this does notdeter me I doubt if the certainty of some time being caught in the charming, be- wildering toils, of these dear, delightful wo man traps, or in other words, dying of that feminine malady, a broken heart, would at allcool my courage or damp my spirit of ad- venture. . However, in the story I am about to relate, my friend Kate was the heroine, not I. Mr. and Mrs Stanley were going to agra 9 Mrs. Stanley was an invalid, and her health required the voyage ; but as Kate, their only ehild, had not yet finished her education, it was deemed best that she should remain at home. Their own house, a pleasant residence on the North River, was to be closed; and Mr. and Mrs. Ripley, Mrs. Stanley’s sister and husband, had kindly offered the young lady a home with them, during the absence of her parents. As it was Kate’s desire to attend a large school in the city, during the coming year, fur the purpose of pursuing a thorough academical course, the offer was very opportune and was readily accepted. Mr. Ripley’s family consisted but of himself and wife and a nephew, Frank Ripley, a young man of some four or five and twenty, hand- some, talented, fascinating, and enjoying a wide reputation as a *‘lady’s man.” As soun as Kate was comfortably established at her new home I called upon ker. Now, it so happened, as I was standing at the door of Mr. Hipley's elegant mansion, Frank Ripley, whom I only knew by sight, tripped gayly up pleasing gallautry for which, as I have said, @ was noted, opened the door with his night key, and, aiding me into the drawing-room, rang the bell and called for Miss Kate, for whom I had inquired. ‘“What a lovely fellow that Frank Ripley is,’ said I, as soon as we had exchanged greetings. ‘Kate, my dear, not the least of your advantages here is the opportunity you or of captivating so charming a bean ” tate replied somewhat indignantly, though with an evident air of reserve *‘ Indeed, then, I don’t intend to avail myself of any such purilege 4s you imagine me to possess. “Well, now, Miss Willful, what fault have you to find with Frank Ripley? I think bim a perfect gentleman.”’ ‘I do not then,"’ was the spirited, and still not quite free answer. I could see that there was something in her mind which she had not yet expressed. ‘Why, Kate!”’ [ exclaimed, “I am sur- prised. What do you mean?” ‘* 1 mean that I think him a flirt, anda very ” ' how is that ?”” _ ‘*Beeause be is very fascinating, and very insiucere.”’ ‘ “Ab ! then you allow him to be tascinat- ing?” “Yes, indeed; why shouldn’t he be? What has he been doing these five years past, or ten, I might as well say, but practicing to make himeelf just the most agreeable person in the world to the ladies. He is the most perfect flatterer I ever saw. Not one of the fulsome, disgusting sort, who betray their shallow pates and hollow hearts at every sen tence, but so attentive, #0 polite, so gentie and respectful, that one can't believe them to be anything but the dear, amiable, kind-hearted creatures they seem, when all the time they aye only playing their part in society, sustain- ing the reputation which it is the business of their life-time to aequire.”’ ““ Why, Kate, you are really eloquent. I shall propose your coming out as a profes- sional lecturer on the frailities of man, in con- nection with the rights of women, as svon as you have finished your education. But how did you know all this of Master Frank ? Has he beer playing off agreeable ways upon you, or has he neglected you entirely? It seems to we there is a spice in your denunciations of the fascinating gentleman.’’ ““Secrn there muy be, for I despise the whole tribe of flatterers, but nothing of bit- terness. No, indeeed, itis not in the power of such a being to raise any jealousy in my heart. I have too thorough a contempt for them. Before I came here, however, I learned his character from a young lady friend, and determined upon the course I would pursue with him. I felt very certain, from what I knew of him, that he would be inclined to commence a flirtation with me. I am no match for a professional flirt, and if I were, 1 have no inclination for the sport. Se I deter- mined to avoid all disagreeable consequences by avoiding the cause thereof.” “Most prudent of school-girls—but bow was your design to be effected ?”” “To treat him coolly, and shun his adyan- ces, would, I knew, but pique his vanity and arouse his perseverance. So when the first evening of my arrival he sat down by me and began to play the agreeable, I affected the ut- most stupidity, and actually bored him into yawning the first half hour. For three suc cessive days he continued his praiseworthy efforts to draw me out, and at the end of that time positively convinced that he was making draughts upon a vacuum, he left me; and since, though always polite, he is very distant, and, I believe, thinks me of less agcount than the ammunition he has already wasted upon me. “ Kate, you surprise me. I had noidea you Were possessed of 8qmuch resolution, or of so much strategy, tis fortunate forthe success of you plans that you had to live so quieily this winter. I fancy a frequent observation of your animated face in suciety would con- vince him of his mistake.’” **May be so,”’ smiled Kate, “JI intend, however, that he shall have occasion to tearn & little of my character before the winter is over. I shail not always pass the dull ‘cop- per’ with him. If there is any of the look Pr the ‘sovereign’ about me, he shall find it owt fore many months.’’ “Ab! then, you have only compromised with pride, not quite subdued it. But-how js this enlightment to be effected ?”” 5 ‘‘Teannot tell as yet. I am waiting for circumstances to develop my plan, but trust me, l’it punish him yet.” 1 well knew Kate's strength of Dorper, $8 well as her aptuess at manwuvering, and her the granite steps, and, bowing in that style of daughter in the married him herself. fondness of fan, so I doubted not she would fulfill her threat. CHAPTER Il. Frank’s room was the front chamber of the third story, and Kate’sthe back room on the same floor. Between the apartments were dressing closets, opening into the rooms. Andas Kate stood in her's one day washing ouf some muslins, she became con- scious that an animated conversation was going onin Frank’s room. She did not, however, pay any attention to it, until at last Frank's hand came down w the table with an un- mistakable —ename, as he exclaimed : “A capital idea, Hal; let’s put it into ex- ecution by all means. Pass me that folie, please, from my writing table, and {’ll write an advertisement this minute ” A lively discussion followed in regard to the various items, and it was ten or fifteen minutes before the docuipent was completed. At last Frank read as follows: “A young gentleman of excellent —— and unexceptionab’e family and character, twenty-five years of age, and generally con- sidered fine looking, desires to open s corres- pondence with a view to matrimony, with a young lady of good personal appearance, cul- tivated mind, and amiable disposition. She must be between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two. During an extensive uain- tance of Give years im the best circles of met- ropolitan society, the writer has vainly sought one whose soul might form a counterpart to hisown; and with whom he might pass the remainder of his life in a blissfal and congemal union, and the enjoyment of an existence un- trawmeled by the artificial rules and acquire- ments of society. Despairing of finding such & spiritual mate in the ranks of fashion, be seizes “pen oe of wakiog ing known his wants.

Those last, fine- Se will be sure to attract some 0: ‘ strong minded,’ bleary old maids, and then, Frank, there’ll be Sport.”” Frank made some laugaing reply, and then having sealed and directed his missive, rang the bell, and despatched it to the office of a flourishing daily. There was a wicked light in Kate’s eye ag she wrung out the last of her muslins, and let off the water from the basin. * Two can play at that game, my fine fellow,’’ she said; and she drew out her writing desk to the window, and sat down before it. On the day succeeding the appearance of | the advertisement, Kate watched warily until j she saw Harry Bentley ascending the steps with a package of letters in his hand, and then hastening to her room, she repaired to her hiding-place to hear the comments elicit- ed * the letters * One, two, three—seven,’’ said Frank. “Very well, indeed, for the first mail. By- the-by, Hal, how are we to divide them, sup- pose we find any worth answering ?”’ We'll read them all over together, and then as you wrote the advertisement, you shall have the first choice.”’ ‘* Agreed.’’ They ~— two or three and read them aloud. Various were the edifying remarks elicited, and hearty the laugh. At last Frank took up a dainty looking little missive, writ- ten on rose-tinted and rose-perfumed paper _“‘ Ah!” he exclaimed, “ here’s a little dar- ling. Hal, this is mine. I claim it at once Ab! isn’t it charming?’’ He read in si- icnee for a time, and then as if unable longer to wo seen his admiration, he exclaimed, “Do listen, Hal, this is really captivating I wish 1 knew the little ming who wrote it “To M.C.

Only those bonds which stretch across the heavy tide that this from another world, unite me to them. A childless uncle and aunt, with whom I re- side, are my only friends. I love them, but they are prosy old fashioned people, seeing little of the world, and with their puritan principles deeming me yet too young (I am seventeen) to be introduced to ail the follies and gaicties, as they term them, which mark society in our day. “This, however, I care nothing for. With the companionsbip of books, of music, and of art, I should be perfectly happy ; only that I long for one gentle heart, one soul, into which Ican pour all my hopes, and lo: ings, and whocan share with me all the dreams and visions of the future which visit my heart. * Perhaps it may be wrong, unma denly, to confess so much toyou but an impulse I know not from whence it urges me on.

I never expected anything half so agreeable to result from the advertisement.’’ ‘« What a creature you are, Frank, so enthu- siastic.
