She tried on every geoun she he'd,
She rasped her nails until they bled,
A dozen times she fuzzed her head,

An fused till she'd a-cried, she said,
But that Id make her eyes SO red.

The first question man asks when he
sees girl flirting is whether che is re.
spected or not; such bad practices raise
a doubt at once. This being the case,
no modest girl can afford to indulge in
the pastime. When the down is brushed
from the peach its beauty is so marred
that it can never be restored, and when
a girl throws lightly aside that sweet
and modest reserve SO becoming to a
maiden, and which 80 elevates and en-.
ables her to command the respect of all,
she loses her best charm and becomes
rather cheap and common. to use no
rash terms. Flirting may seem to the
giddy and thoughtless girl wonderfully
amusing and she may get the idea that
she is fascinating, but it is most dc.
grading thing and should be frowned
upon by every young lady who has am
bition to become worthy and charming
young woman.
