Everybody knows why a woman flirts, First, it t* her nature? fecond, it is her business; third, it is her favorite sport. She may flirt with a man in order to attract hin attention, or she may flirt with him in order to attract another man's attention. She may flirt with him because she iw in love with him or because ehe ix In love with somebody else; because ahe wants to marry him or because she doesn't; because she is merry, because she in lonexome, because she is vain, because she !s bored, because she has nothing else to do—and just “BECAUSE,” She begina flirting while she ts «til! in her satin-lined cradle and never stops until she Is laid to rest in her satin-lined coffin, ‘ But @ MAN! No man ever starts out at any time in life with the deliberate intention of flirting, Fiirtation ix too profitiess and tame an occupation for him, He would as soon think of doing a yard of tatting or playing & game of Ut-tat-to for excitement. It is a slow waltz in which one goes round and round without ever getting anywhere. It te one of the frills on the garment of life, and he fen't interested in frills. No man ever can understand a woman's delight in hpvering around a love affair without ever fa’ into it. He can'( see her object in leading him miles and miles to the edge of a precipice and then deliberatly turning round and running back again. To him flirting is merely the means to an end, the red tape through which he In forced to go before kissing a girl. But to her it te tho end itself—the sine qua non, the chief object of life. If a man ts going to “waste time” he much prefers to waste it fishing or dozing or smoking. Fishing affords him the same thrilling sensation that flirting affords a woman. He can sit all day, after he has caught cnough fish to last the family a week, and wait for another fish to bite—a fish that doesn’t need, doesn't want andPftbably will give away to the first farmer he meets. But you never could persuade him that a woman would angle for HIM and “play” him with the same lack of motive and the same results, If @ woman fe “nice and pleasant” to him it is for one of two reasons—either she wants to annex him or sh {s in love with him. ‘Take a bachelor, for instance, He knows that the one danger on earth for FUSION BEGINS TO BE FUSION.

If even astute political adepts like Her- bert Parsons can be brought to subordinate their favorite game of party wire-pulling to the larger purpose to which the party has | pledged itself, then the Fusionis®& have indeed reason to move forward with fresh confidence. 1” The examples of unselfishness set by Mr. McAneny and Mr. _ Whitman have not been lost. Their conduct has given Fusion new pride in itself and a new power of attraction.

It wad only a him isa flirtation, He knows that by that #in fell the Benedicts and that some i ° ri day, eooner or later, he will be corralled, sheared and led to the altar that wa: question of time when the theory of woman’: rights would n no more resist a pretty woman's smile than a fish can fly, have to get down to plain cases and begin to make prece- dents. Woman’s rights in the abstract have been all very well, but what everybody has really wanted to know is: Under such and such circumstances what can she do and what can’t she do? We begin to find ont. To an East New York magistrate is given the glory of handing down a decision of the last importance. The case was simple: After eighteen years of married life one Rupp returned to his home one night and, finding nobody at home and nothing to eat, salliod forth to look for his wife. He found her peechifying abut votes for women on the street corner. He bade her come home and get supper. Mrs, Rupp not only declined but had him arrested for disturbing the peace. And did the Court sustain ber? It did, and decrewd forthwith that no man has a right to in- terrupt his wife when she is making a suffrage speech for any reason whateoever. The Rupp decision is recorded and the‘Emancipation Procla % tipn might as well follow. On with the march of precedent. We live ig historic times. the dear little thing has been overcome by his masculine charms. He must dangle this captive, this emblem of prowess and trophy of victory, at his chariot wheels. As the Indian fastens another acalp at his belt, #0 he decorates himself with another medal. Yet, though the flirtation should lead to death, matrimony or a breach of promise suit, he cannot resist it. As for a MARRIED MAN—you would fancy from the way in which we talk and write about the summer widower that all husbands were wolves in sheep's clothing seeking whom they may devour. Pehaw! No normal, natural married man is LOOKING for trouble. Mott of them love their wives and all of them love peace. But stronger than their love of anything else on earth is their dorman@avanity. A pretty girl has merely to pat one of them (figura- tively, speaking) on the head and say “Nice doggie!” and he will l!e down, roll over and jump through @ hoop. They ha¥e boen hearing the brutal truth about themselves for eo long and @o starved for a ‘little flattery that the most careless compliment flung at them goes to their heads like wine and makes them act foolish, With a bachelor your flattery may have to be laid on skilfully and delicately, but you can just fling it at a married man with a trowel, and no matter where it hits some of it is bound to stick. It ts really patietic to see the grateful way in which they swallow a word of praise or a hint of admiration. The fact that they will hang around a girl who ts kind enough to feed them a little soft soap occasionally does not indicate that they are in love with her, nor, on the other hand, that they have ceased to love their wives, Te fe merely the same instinct which keeps a starved cat hanging around the kitchen window while dinner is cooking. 1 “The more I see of men,” sald a cynic, “the better I Mke doge.” But, as for me, the more I see of cats the better I understand men, Why oes little pussy come to you to have her head rubbed and her ears ecratehed? Is it because whe loves you? Certainly not, It is because you happen to call ed “pretty pussy” or “Boo'fuls.” A cat will sit and listen for hours while ydu 4-2 Theofétically the forts have sunk a big fleet that was trying to enter Long Island Sound. So theoretically New York City Is Saved, in view of which service we cannot find honors and rewards enumerate her virtues. And so will a man. As a writer has aid somewhere: “Fill a man with self-love and what elops over will be yours. And the same is true of filling him with self-admiratiun.
