FLIRTING AT WEST POINT,
How the spooney Cadets Mash the
Girls.

How the spooney Cadets Mash the
Girls.
Five hundred of the girls, says Clara
Bells letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
were the sisters Of $50 cadets. Each one
had come instinct with the family pride in
her wonderful soldier brother. Each one
told the other what wonderful thing
soldier brother was, and each boy, Gagged
up for years, and crazy to get into the
world, had made each other boy pledge
himself to introduce his sisters to him. 1t
was the work of one hour for each cadet
to begin an ardent Irritation with his
chum's sister. The girls were ready for
it. because they regarded the chums as
next to their brothers, the most wonder
full beings in the world. There was
a nice atmosphere. you must con-
fess. The very air was galYanlc
with the spirit of Irritation. 1t was
contagious. The female cousins felt 1t,
and the officers felt it. But the officers
were ignored. Cadets were the fashion,
and the superfuous girls and widows
went into a spirited rivalry, each TO pos
sess herself Of a cadet. / must say /
never saw ANYTHING half so bold as the
way this rivalry was carried on. We
had Irritation for breakfast. dinner and
supper: we encountered it IN the parlors,
verandas, yards, lawns, woods, chapel
roads. behind buildings, between can
mons. and, in fact, tripped and stumbled
over 1t everywhere. When company
went into a skirmishing movement they
fred into couples hand in hand behind
trees. they ran over other couples; when
the fireworks were let off at night their
blaze revealed the most amazing sights
in the woodland paths. Ii you were
to look at a curiosity you were
sure to come plump upon couple en-
bracing or dreaming in others eyes. A
clumsy or modest cadet who wouldn't
kiss or hug a girl, even after she plainly
asked him 10, was tab0Oed, and the bold
boys had rush Of business that made
them exceedingly rude, which was con-
sidered a very desirable development Of
character, and made them all tue more
popular. The girls were mainly country
girls, and / have always said that city
girl is a prude beside village lass. They
were the kind that you notice at the rail-
road stations all over the country, wait
ing to see which viii be the first to cap
ture a strange commercial traveller and
