A BAN ON FLIRTING.
South Dakota Passed An Ordinance
Making II a Nlisdiencanor.

Making II IA siisdemeanor.
The town council OF a town out In
South Dakota has just passed an or
dinance that makes flirting in public
places misdemeanor and punish
able by fine The same ordinance
also prohibits young people from
lettering on the steps OF churches or
other public buildings, or in the
doorway of any store for the pur-
pose OF taking and eating candy and
peanuts.
The misdemcancrs, or crimes,
named III this Jaw seem to need a
lot OF oyerhauling in the way Of
official definitions before any salts
factory enforcement will be possible.
says writer In the Providence Jour
nal. Flirting" Is a broad term, and
no one has ever yet succeeded In
defining 1t exactly. To the fancy Of
the hoi polloi it consists principally
OF waving a handkerchief or making
google eyes at members of the oppo-
site sex.
In higher circles. however, fiirta-
ton is generally regarded as very
subtle procedure. matter to be I'M
dertaken in some quiet corner like
a conservatory, just as they do 1t In

bers. II carried on In the street or
any other public place the process

no one but a member of the elect.
with a subtle understanding OF such
things, could see through II. The
ordinary policeman might see a
high-bred Irritation going on full tilt
not more than four feet from his
nose, and he would never know that
tn law was being fagrantiy violated.
According TO the highest English
authority a fiirt is "a Eighty female.
a pert, giddy girl. coquette.' And
Irritation Is the desire of attracting
the notice and admiration of men.
Our own highly esteemed Mr.. Web
ster agrees with this definition by de"
claring a fiirt to be "a young girl
who acts with giddiness, or plays at
courtship."
Thus we learn on the best of au-
thority that Irritation Is altogether a
matter of feminine practice. Accord
ing to the leading dictionaries men
never flirt, and the natural presum-
ption it that they are incapable OF 1t,
So it would appear that men are ex-
empt from the operation of this new
South Dakota ordinance, and the pc"
licemen of that town will do we'll to
bear the fact in mind. In other re-
spects they seem to be up against a
perplexing problem. If tiirt is a
young girl who plays at courtship.
how is anyone to tell? 1t frequently
st0mps the young man most inter'
ested to determine whether the young
girl In the case Is merely playing at
courtship or really means business,
SO how can disinterested police
man diagnose the gyrations of heE
emotional wheels and say with any
certainty that they are either frivo'
lous or serious?
