VOLUME 52... PATRON SAINTS. ATRON SAINTS for secular | guilds, trades and professions are | coming into vogue again, at this late day. Maybe one reason for) their popularity is that they can! always add to the available eup- ply of excuses for holidays. The old establiehed protecting saints include Saint Thomas Aquinas for the universities, Saint Cecilia | for the musicians, Saint Luke for the artista, Saint Raymond for| the lawyers, Saints Cosmas and) Damien for the doctors, Saint Crispin for the ehoemakers, and 60 on. There is no particular reason why the roll shonld end here. A boun- tifu’ Providence has eupplicd enough saints of al) varieties to 80! around oud then some more, so that no class of secular sinners need be without one. There are the stenographers, for example. Why, sske a Euro- pean publicist, Senor Gossi of Villafranca, should these disciples of terseness and accuracy be neglected? The Senor, accordingly, has | addressed an appeal to his professional confreres throughout the that His Holiness shall designate a heavenly patron for persons who write shorthand. He suggests two or three saints as eligible for this | office, including Saint Cyprian of Carthage, who, tradition asserts, once refused to “take dictation” from an unorthodox sovereign.

HILE certain optimists think they| can see as far ahead as the time | when these United Stater will be’ a “saloonlees nation,” no one car blink the fact that up to now wo! have the drunkard always with | us, a@ a problem, a reproach, and a responsibility. A new attempt is making in New York City, first of all to meet the responsibility thereby to mitigate the reproach. and perhaps eventually to solve the problem. The Board of In ebricty, provided for in an act passed by the Legislature of 1910, has come into being. Mayor Gaynor, in accordance with this law, has made what look ke admirable appointments for the new board, consisting of two | physicians, two clergymen and a president who is a practical business van long identified with philanthropic work. There will be a hos gital and industrial colony where confirmed inebriates (including ‘dope fiends”), upon the petition of relatives or their own application an le humanely taken in band and helped to a new start in life, ther than that of which the police court and jail are the turning points, The scheme, or something like it, has been tried elsewhere, nota- bly in New Jersey; but never on euch a seale or in response to ao Overwhelming a need as now in this metropolis of ten thousand licensed hard-drinking resorts.

Why that the most fascinating women usually pluck either & broken atick from the tide of life or a brand from the burning when they éo marry? Is it because they become too interested in the love game and put off marrying too long? Perhaps; flirting 1s like any other art; it absorbs a woyan to the exclusion of all everyday, commonplace matters, lke getting married and Providing for the future and things of that sort, Or per- haps it's more like gambling. You get the fever and you can't stop, You keep on saying to yoursel “Just one more game! Just one more flirtation! then I'll pick up my winnings and quit. But you never do quit until your winnings are all gone And the lights are out and the game ts up. Then when the coquette sees that her charms are beginning to fade she turns about in @ panic to choose a husband—and finds that there isn't any choice left, Perhaps that's tt. Why js @ flirt, anyway? And WHAT ts a flirt? Tehoula say that a flirt is any woman who possesses the secret power of fascination and exercises it upon every man with whom she comes in contact, regardless of con- Sequences. She is not the woman who considers her acts as a means toward an end. If all women looked upon us men merely as the short cut to a home and « weekly income half the spice would de lost in lif The fiirt flirts for the pure love of flirting. It is entirely owing to her tha men now scek their wives figuratively on bended knee, Insteaa of with a club, as they did in the days of the cave dwellers, She has turned courtship into @ Dastime instead of @ business, and transformed matrimony from a duty into @ privilege. She ts real benefactor to the world, for she it is who gives us our sentimental education, Why, it’s the FLIRTS who have transformed all the prigs into men, all the green and salad youth into responsible human beings, and ali the conceited pup pies into endurabie, level-headed chaps. - You ought to be very grateful to the girls who have Mirted with you, Old Chap. Suppose the first giri you ever loved had taken you seriously! What would have become of you? Where would you have been? Either married, or still in the green and callow of egotism that makes @ raw youth so obnoxious to the rest of society. It's the flirts who have taken the kinks out of you and rubbed the raw edges off you and polished you up for practical use The poor flirts! They afford the world its greatest Joy, its favorite pastime, ite spice, ite impetus, They introduce the comedy bits into the tragedy of life, the romance into the story of everyday existence. They spend their youth train- ing men to be good husbands—for uther women—and teaching them to sit up in the corner and be “good doggies.” They put all the ruffles on life, the frilis on society, the oll on the wheels of love, They are a biessing to society. And what do they get out of it? Calumny from the women and a /eft-over husband, ali mes out of ten. But perhaps “Art for Art's sak: is enough for them in this world. And a successful Girt is a real artist. You can't detect her by her waistline or her front hair, Old Chap, any more than you can detect @ real artist by his soft tie and his Dack Bair, Genius ts born, not made; and ao ts a flirt.

And 80, Old Fellow, you'll have to meet your flirts and take your medicine and get your education, just as I did mine We are always in the kindergarten, as far as women are concerned, from the cradle to the grave.
