Neither counsel will discuss the case. In Mrs. de Acosta’s original papers no mention was made of the naine of Mr. Dreyfus Ror were the terms of the remarkabl © mentions @tated in the Papers. SUED FOURTH HUSBAND, DREY- FUS, FOR $53,000, In answer to the questions framed by Mr. Butler's lawyer, Mrs. de Acosta etated that in 1910 she brought sult net her former husband, Dreyfus, who was fourth of her five spouses, to Fecover $53,000.

(The New York World). We have learned that women do not vote with sex solidarity in States where they have the suffrage, Nevertheless, in this discussion they are, NIXOLA GREELEY*SMITH almost to a woman, casting their ballots in favor of flirtation. The stern moralists who dii Prove are nearly all men. T for instance, a masculine reader an- mounces that “flirtation is like a Nghted match applied to a can of gasoline.” He says he feels sorry for women who “flirt to catch hus- bands,” and that eventually they will be relieved of this humiliating ne- cessity. On the other hand, a woman reader confesses she “flirts with the coalman, the milkman and the Par- ker House roll man, the butcher, the doctor and his twin brother, the un- dertaker.” And she has not the grace to say that she is ashamed of herseif, though she does put for- ward the plea that she can’t help; flirting. I imagine, however, that what she terms filrting is just the general exercise of a personal quality of charm—a soul quality which may and should gladden the milkman and the Parker House roll man. Any woman with the wholly spiritual gift of charm owes it to the world to charm as many persons as possible, Generally sveaking, our women are Bot nearly so charming as they shovld be. They are beautiful and intelligent to an unusual degree, but many of them lack the universal Graciousness that marks the well- bred woman of other lands—and thir, improbable as it may appear, has su intimate and direct relation to the obsessiag servant problem. There is no reason why ® woman should return from @ luncheon or @ tem where sue has radiated serenity and joyor na beco: frozen monument of hautour to the maid who opens the door to her.

W. A. TYPES OF FLIRTS WELL KNOWN IN HISTORY. Dear Madam: The professional flirt is either ignorant or she has no conscience, While the former is quite harmless, the latter is the @angerous type, and I don't think that men belong in thia category. She is cruel and cunning and will sacrifice everything to satisty her vanity. Well known examples of her are Cleopatra, Luerezia Borgia, Catherine of Russia, Catherina de Medicis, Madame de Maintenon, | Madame de Montespan and others, and no doubt there are sti!l women who would be exactly the same if they had the power. But there is another type—the in nocent flirt. She js good and nat- u Tecause she does not know she 4s flirting.
