A Flirt's Confession.

II do not think that ever flirted with
thc hope or intention of seriously win
ming mems hearts. 1t was fun to receive
their attentions and to be able to lure
them away from other girls, and espcci-
ally was this the case when the men
were married or engaged. In most in
stances think they went back to their
own and their own received them. Why
did do it? Well, 1 think the reason
was this: l really liked all agreeable
men, and anything that looked like lack
of appreciation on their part was so ex-
ceedingly distastcful to me that straight
way strove to overcome it. The young
fellows just coming out came into my
net as matter of course for several
years, but older men heard of
me before being presented, and
fought shy. l did not understand
this then. thought they dislikcd
me, whereas it was probably
caution or disapproval, and I set myself
forthwith to disarm the caution and
change the disapproval to liking. 1t was
simply unpleasant to me to have anyone
indifferent. have cried time and again
on my way home in the carriage, simply
because some one whom l wanted to
please seemed indifferent. Several times
I was actually caught with tears on my
cheeks by those of whom 1 was thinking,
and always managed to let them guess
the reason of my tears. That was always
ctfectual. 1t never failed to bring about
the desired end, but I declare solemnly
that I never did it on purpose--cricd,
mcan-and never intended to be caught
in tears. suppose that most men will
refuse to believe this, but it is true. !
was simply at my wits end with wretch
edness, because l thought some one had
taken dislike to me."-Thc Hour.

A Persian Princess,

Lady Shiel, in her "Glimpses at Life
and manners in Persia" says: II went to
see the Shah's half-sister, beautiful girl
of Is, who lived with her mother in an
obscure part of the ante-room, neglected
by the Shah, and consequently by every
one else. She was really lovely, fair and
with indescredible eyes and figure only
equalled by some of the chefs d'euvre OF
Italian art. This is so very rare among
Persian women that she was one of the
few persons I saw in the country with an
approach to a good figure.
"She was dressed in the usual fashion
of trousers on trousers, the last pair being
of such stiff brocade that if put standing
upright in the middle of the room there
they would remain. Her hair was curled,
not plated, and she was literally covered
with diamonds. She was quiet in her
manners, and seemed detected. She
was most anxious to hear about European
customs.
"And what seemed to surprise her
most was that we took The trouble to I'M
dress every night going to bed--and she
asked me was it true that we put on o
long white dress to pass the night in.
"All Persian women are astonished at
this custom, and arc quite unable to &C
count for it. They never undress at
night; they unite their thin mattress
from its silken cover, draw it out from its
place against the wall, and roll them
selves up in the wadded quilt which
forms their blanket. The only time they
change their clothes is when they 90 to
battle. If they go out to visit they OF
course put on their best garments, and
take them off at night; but generally
they lie down just as they are, and even
in cold weather they wear their 'chadeor,
or out-of door veil, at night.
