jealousy, it comes from that peculiai- |

from indulging in admiration for suc- |

sults are known, or from a paucity of !
human hope. Hope being such a
scarce article, and therefore so little
to be spared, rather than spend it pre-

A SERMON ON FLIRTING.
By L. A. Miller.
All married men who are given to
and all married women who have flirt-
ing husbands will also agree with him,
in a sense.
It will be readily imagined that
there is a great difference in the sense
in which the husband and the wife re-
gard it. He regards it as capital pas-
time, while she is quite certain that it
is a capital offense.
There was a time when it was con-
sidered an offense worthy of death for
a married man to flirt with the wife
of another man. There was no law on
the statutes to that effect, but if the
flirting husband was killed by the ag-
grieved husband, the latter was not
held as a murderer, and frequently
was allowed to go without even so
much as being arrested, or given a
hearing. This custom, if such it may
be called, prevailed in our southern
States, especially in Virginia and the
Carolinas, until after the reconstruc-
tion. There are occasional aggravat-
ed cases even now, in which the de-
fender of his wife’s honor, or the rep-
utation of his family, is allowed to es-
cape if he kill the defamer. In most
semblance of a trial, in which a ver-
lowed to die on the docket. This sort
of thing was in accordance with what
was known as the chivalrous code, |
which applied to all offences against |
It came down |
from the days of chivalry, when val- |
| iant knights were ever ready to draw |
! in defense of fair woman. They would |
run fellow knights through the vitals |
for casting shy glances at their wives, |
daughters or sweethearts, and go |
straightway and flirt with the first
woman who gave them a chance. A |
very thin sense of honor, indeed. |
Flirting is quite as popuiar now as |
it ever was; indeed there is more of i
it. About the worst thing a man ex-
pects to happen to him for indulging !
in a game of this kind is a drubbing
if caught at it, providing the aggriev- |
ed individual is able to give it to him. |
The woman turns it off adroitly by |
saying she was only trying to see how |
big a fool the fellow would make of ,
hiraself. |
Not infrequently this is true. No |
doubt many a true wife has encourag- |
ed a gay masher to make a fool of |

| This is the best advice that can be
| given to married people. There are
! few homes that a little coquetting and
love making will not brighten and
| make more attractive. Instead of
{ wasting your sweetness on those
| whom it cannot benfit, take it home.
There it can be used without fear of
{ causing ill rumors, or endangering the
i bodily comfort of any one. Only too
| often the disposition to flirt leads to
{ coldness, neglect, and indifference.
{ Where these are, misery is also. After
i all flirting is a very silly and demor-
! alizing habit.
