ftirts. either natural or unnatural. The
warm spontaneous. vivacious cordial

the artful. sinuous. deceptive wiles of
the flirt, than the silvery moonlight is
Ike the glare of the electric light
Southern women have ever been
noted for their hospitality, and for that
charming graciousness which makes
all with whom they come in contact
feel at ease in their presence. and the
person who mis- takes this ease OF man

Others. for the frivolous advances of a
flirt, Is. to say the least oft. decided
5ly wanting In discrimination.
No, the Southern women are not

They have the subtle giftsp charm,
But with 1t dwells no thought Of harm.
'Tis like the fragrance Of flower,
Which they exhale from hour to hour.
Even more lovely than their faces

They look on life thro' half-veiled eyes
Like midnight stars In summer skies.
Sometimes perhaps they play coquetts,
Give you glance you ne'er forget
But would you shun the look thus given
Which almost seems a glimpse of
heaven?
Their slender hands are small and
white,
And yield a pressure soft and light.
Would you forswear that thrilling
touch.
Well knowing you, would loselso much?
True 1t may set your heart a-f1ame.
But surely they are not to blame.
