There are'certain things 'which can
:never be. acurately described; things so
shadowy, so fitful, so dependemt on the
mood of the moment, both in the midi
.
ence and the actor, that analysis and re
presentation are equally at fault. . And
flirting is one of them. What is flirting?
Who can define or determine? It is morel
serious thanialking nonsense, and not se
serious as making love; it is not chaff,
and it is not feeling; it means something
more than indifference, and yet some
thing less 'than affection; it binds no one.
• it commits , no one, it only raises expecte
tions.in the individual, and sets society
on the loos-out for results; it is a plaything
in the hands of the experienced, but a
deadly weapon against the breast of the'
• unwary; it is a thing so vague, or pro-1 .,
tam, that the most accurate measures oi
moral values would be puzzled to say ! ,
where It exactly ends and where serioust
intentions begin. But again, we ask, what.
ls,flirtingt, What constitutettits essence?
Every one has his or her •Ona ideas ..of
what constitutes . flirting; consequently
every Prierjudges of that pleasant ,
vise • •rding to individual temperament
and:ex • mice: , Faded flowers, who see
imp • • My," in everything they.; are no
longer • • ie,to enjoy,say with more orless
severity that Henry and Angelina are
flirting if they are laughing and whisper
ing in an alcove together, probably at the
most innocent noncence in the world;
but the fact that they are enjoying them
selvea in their own way, albeit sadly one,
is enough for the faded flower to think
they are after mischief, flirting being to
her mind about the worst bit of mischief
that fallen humanity can perpetrate. The
watchful mother says that dancing
together, oftener than is - necessary for
good breeding and just the amount of at
tention- demanded by• circumstances is
flirting; timid girls newly out, and not
used to the old ways of men, think they
are being flirted with outrageously if
their partner tires off the meekest little
compliment at them, ,or looks at them
more tenderly •than he' would look at a
cabbage; but bold spirits of both sexes
think nothing worthy of the name which
does not include a few questionable famili
arities, and an equivoque or two, more
or less "risky." With some, flirting is
nothing hut the passing fun of the mo
ment; with others, it is the first lesson of
the great unopened book, and means the
beginning of the end; with some it'is not
even angling with intent; with others it
m' deep sea fishing with a broad, boldly
ade net, and taking all fish that come in
as good for sport, if not for food.
Flirts are of many;kinds, as well as of
all degrees. There are quiet flirts and
demonstrative
.flirts; flirts of the subtle
sort, whose practice is by the eyes alone,
by the manner, by the tender little sigh;
by the bend of the head and the wave of
the hand to give pathos and ppint to the
otherwise harinless word; and flirts of
the open, rampant kind, who go up , quite
boldly toward the point, but who never
reach it, taking care to draw back in time
before they really cross the lOrder. This
is the kind which, as the male flirt, does
incalculable damage to the poor little flat
tering doves to whom it is a bird of prey,
handsome•bold and cruel; -fimthitis the
kind which has ,unlimited success, using
as it does that immense moral leverage
we call "tantalizing," forever rousing.
the hopes and exciting "eXpectatinne, and
luring on as an 4mi:intuits lures one on
across the marsh, in tne vain belief that it
will bring, us to our haven at last.,
Then there is the race Of male flirts
great in the way in which they manage to
insinuate thingewithout committing them
selves to poaitive statements. They gen
erally contrive' to give the impression of
some mysterious hindrance by, which they
are held back from fail and frank confes
sion. They hint at fatal bonds, at unfor
tunate attachments, at a past that has
burnt them up, or withered them up, - at
any rate that has prevented their future
from blossoming in the direction in which
they fainwould have had it blossom and
bear frnit. They sketch very vaguely the
outlines of some thrilling romance ; a few
of the Byronic breed, add the suspicion
of some dark and melancholy crime as a
further enchantment; and when they
have got the girl's pity and the love that
is akin to pity, then they cool down sci
entilimlly, never creating scandal, never
making any rupture, never coming to a
moment when awkward explanations can
be asked, but cooling nevertheless, till
the thing drops of its own accord, dies
out from inanition, and they aro free to
carry their sorrow and , their mysteries
elsewhere. Some men spend their, lives
in this kind of thing, and find their pleas
ure in making all the nice women they
know madly in love with them ;
and if by chance any poor moth who had
burned her wings makesrtoo loud an out
cry, the tables are turned against her
dexterously, and she is held, up to public
pity—contempt would be a better word—
as one who has suffered herself to love too
well and by na means and. who
his run after it" I/Othello who would not

Certain men who flirt only with married
women, and others who flirt' only with
' girls, and the two pastimes are as differ
ent as tropical sunlight ,andour riprthern;

"brothere" and some who are "fathers"

that altting . away in corners and Whisper
ing together is not necessarily flirting,
though it may look like it. Ida
1 ncing all
the`-"round" dinces tOgilther?
goes far''` to: decide flirting-_ la the
code of the ball-room But if the
two keep welt, together ? ,Ifthey
really are fond of dancing, as one of , the
tine, arts combining science and.cenjoy
meat, they would dance with each other
all night, though 'outside the "marble
halls" they might be deadly enemies-Montagne& and Capulets, with no echo of
Romeo or Juliet to soften their mutual
dislike. So that not even dancing to
gether oftener than is absolutely necea
eery is unmistakable evidence any More
than sitting away in cornere, seeing that
equal skill and keeping well in step are
reasons enough for perpetual partnership,
making all idea of flirtation unnecessary.
In fact, there !s no outward sign or sym
bol flirting which may not be mistaken
and turned round, because flirting
is so entirely in the intention, and
not in the mere formula, that it be
comes a kind of phantasm, a protens, im
possible to sieze or to depict with accura
cy. One thing, however, we can say,
that taking gifts and attentions, offered
with evident design, and acce pted'with
tacit understanding, may be certainly
held as constituting an important element
of flirting. But this is flirting on the
woman's aide. And here you are being
continually taken in. Your flirt of the
cunningly simple kind, who smiles sweet.
ly and seems flatteringly glad to see you
when you, come, who takes all your pres
enta and acted expressions love with
the most bewitching gratitude*. and effu
sion, even, she, so simple as sheseems to
be, slips the thread and will not be
caught. At the decisive moment .when
you , think •yo;e have secured her, she
makes a bound and is 'away; then
turns round, looks , you in the face,
and with many a. tear and pretty
asservation will declare she never
understood you to mean what you
say you have meant all along; and that
you are cruel to dispel. her dream of a
pleasant and harmless friendship, and
very wicked 'indeed • because you press
her fora decision.' 'Yes, you are cruel,
because you have believed her honest;
cruel, because you did not see through the
veil of flattery • and insincerity in which
she clothed her selfishness; cruel, because
she was false. That is woman's logic
when brought to book and forced to con
fess that her pretended love was only
flirting, and that she led you on to your
destruction simply because it pleased her
vanity to make you a victim. Then there
are of the open and rollicking kind,
who let you go far, very , far indeei, when
suddenly they pull up and assuine.an of
fended air calf you had willfully trans- I
greased known and abaolute boundaries, '
—girls and.women who lead you on, all;
'the way of goncifellowahip, to knock youl
over when you have just got far 'enough
to lose your balance. That is their form
of the art. They like to see how far
they can- make a man follet himself,
and how much stronger tifeir own delu
sive enticements are than prudence, ex
perience' arid' common sense; and there
Are flirts of the artful and "sail waters"
kind, something like the female flirts
spoken of just now; .sentimental little
panes—perhaps pretty young vivea with
uncomfortable husbands, whose griefs
have by no means soured or scorched,
but just mellowed and refined them. Or
they may be of the sisterly class--crea
tares so very frank, so very sisterly and
confiding and unsuspicious of evil that
really you scarcely know how to deal
with them at all. 'And there are flirts of
the scientific • kind—women who have
studied the art thoroughly, and with the
grave.attention due to an art, and who
are adepts in the, use of every weapon
known -- using such according to
circumstances and the nature of the -vic
tim, and using each with deadly preci
sion. From such mays kind Providence
deliver us!. As the tender mercies of the
wicked, so are scientific flirts—the wo
men and thamen who play at bowls with
the human heart, for simply the stake of
a whole life's.happiness.
It used to.he an old schoolboy maxim
that no real gentleman could„ be refused
by a lady, because no lady could presume
beyond his line of encouragement. A
fortiori nolady would or mild give more
encouragement than she meant. What
are we to say, then, of our flirts, if this
maxim is true? Are there really "no
'gentlemen" and "no ladies," according
to the famous formula of the kitchen?
Perhaps it would be said so if no gentle
hood meant now, as it meant centuries
ago, the real worth and virtue of human
ity. For flirting with intent is a cruel, a
false and a heartless amusement; and the
time was when cruelty and falsehood were
essentially sins „that vitiated all elaims
to gentiehood. And yet, the world would
be very dull,without that innocent non
sense which often goes by the name of
flirting—that, pleasant something which
is more than mere icquaintance and leas
than formal loverhood—that bright and
animated intercourse which makes the
hours pass so easily, yet leaves no bitter
pang of self reproach, that indefinable
and undefined interest by which the one
man or the one woman becomes a micro
cosm for , the. time, the epitome of all
that is pleasentand of all that is lovely.
The only caution to be observed is not to
go too far. ,

becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow In flesh; the

is the only way to cure consumption. -
To:these three medicines Dr. J H,Seltenck, of

Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,

Schenck's Seaweed Tonic Is a gentle, stimulant

stomach to torow out the gastric juice to dissolve
