ct tactics in the war Of coquetry which
few ladies and girls understand properly
but which great multitude do not under
stand. Those who do not understand it ,
generally cause themselves much annoyance,
and by not acting with discretion and energy
by not giving the mitten' at the proper
time and in the proper manncr-throw many
an otherwise sensible man into a hopeless iit
of tho simplcs., Az a general thing each
lady deals in her own style Of mitten. and
consequently there is such n variety of the
article as to forbid a regular classification.

delicate, spssamcrlikc thing, that the one
for whom it is intended cannot see it, and

ton causes much annoyance to those who
use 1t, and not un!rc1ucntly eonsigns many
an otherwise sensible young man to the
'stnrcs. Others are stout, substantial ar

good many instances, and particularly whom
