but she changes her mind-a privilege
tradition has accorded woman.

to q woman and an agreeable vivacity

tractive and have not the remotest

Both.
You don't mean married men are
1irts?
Yes, and the worst kind.
Worse than women?
A thousand times; indeed, that is the
most despicable trait in q mans char
acter.
Why is thatT
We expect something manly In a
man.
Isl any better for the unma rried
man TO be flirt?
Yes, for he is at least his own master,
and no must carry the burden Of his
own offenses.

the married woman llrtP
No worse, morally, perhaps; but so
much more to be deSplSed.
l. hNyf
All the moro reason why he should
not do it.
VIII the unmarried man flirt continue
so?
Not always.
Why not?
Marriage sobers him, as rule,
Then where does the married man

from the married state. That's why he
is so much meaner than il he wore born
that way.

not have been flirt before marriage?

Disappointment acting on general

q heroic scoundrel Of him.
Area't you too hard on him?
Ask the wife of ono II l am.
Don't women like that sort Of q
man?
Some women do.
Good women?
I'm sorry TO say some OF them arc
good women, but they are lacking in
good judgment.
Do men ike male dirt?
Decent men don't.
A man may be chivalrous and gallant,
may he not?
He should be so, by all means, but ho
can be that and not be firt.

they9
Yes, but women soon find out he is
not.

Iatuitively.
Is physical beauty necessity for
flirt?
u is Of great assistance.

net" not to exercise its power Of attrac-
ton.
Then are there unconscious flrts?
Very nearly.
Aren't they excusable?
To some extent.
What are Won going to do about that?
Consciousness always returns, and
then the higher qualities should be ex-
ercised.
And you think they are not, always?
I know they are not.
Wouldn't human association be de-
prlved Of much Of its pleasurable
oiouancy II there were no fllrts?
Yes, Just as heaven would lose much
OF it's charm If there were no hell.
