Dragging is such an easy habit to
fall into that nearly every little de-
light opens the way, and it requires
a very strong character to resist the
inclination 1t may be classed as a
discourtesy. and what makes it so
is not the theme so much as the
waste of time required to indulge it.
There is another objection, and that
is, 1t encourages the use of many
superlatives, which is never in good
form. because they are mostly used
to fill up empty minds.
Still another problem, which is
that Dragging is placing a discount
upon the person listening. for he is
reminded of his own inferiority. For
instance, the other day a man told
us of catching seven-pound fish,
which had the effect of making us
feel Insignificant and uncomfortable,
until a friend informed us that he
had seen the fish and that it weighed
only three pounds, which suggested
to US another objection to Dragging,
which is that it is close akin to ly-
ing; which impression was made the
deeper by the report of another per-
son who said that he had seen the
man buy that identical fish in Fulton
market. Thus one sees into what
forbidden paths Dragging leads one.

Herbert Palmer, of Harvard. sixty
seven years old, twice wed and re-
ported to be contemplating third
venture In matrimony, his next bride
to be Wellesley professor, has come
forward with the statement that lit
tie flirting, properly conducted, Of
course, is not only advisable, but
even imperative, for the average coI-
lege boy and girl.
Flirting is the surest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life, I"
says the professor, who has the dis
tinction of being the Oldest member
of the Harvard faculty, and whose
second wife, Alice Freeman Palmer,
was president of Wellesley College
from 1881 to 1887.
II think the girls of Radcliffe and
the boys of Harvard devote too much
Of their time to study. They actually
bury themselves in their books, and
the result is that when they get
through college they don't know a
thing about social life.
They should mingle a little frivol-
ity with their studies - in other
words, they should flirt little. Were
I to advise the boys of Harvard or
the girls of Radcliffe, / would tell
them to go around and see things
more than they do.
II am always reminded of girl
graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so
hard that she got the reputation Of
being over-studious. She never went

reprimanded Miss Monk the chief did
not understand the situation, and
thought the girl was flirting. Miss
Monk, when called upon afterward to
explain her conduct, experienced no
difficulty in clearing herself of the
imputation which had been cast upon
her. Notwithstanding that, she went
home, determined to die rather than
face her comrades in the exchange.
Before she drank the acid she wrote
a note. In It she called attention to
the fact that she had been repri-
manded publicly by her chief for act
ing as any girl should do when in
suited by a man.

face the other girls" she wrote.

she was discovered. I'm the hope of

were having a good time she re-
mained in her room studying. She
was graduated with high honors, and
when l was bidding her goodbye /
told her that she had task before
her.
"She thought would say some
thing in regard to work. but, contrary
to her anticipations, told her that
she would have to flirt good and hard
to make up for lost time, and she said
that she would.
"Of course, it makes good deal Of
difference who does the flirting,
where and with whom. The time,
the place and the boy and girl have a
good deal to do with it. If all could
see the tired-out boys and girls that
see. all would, know, admit that a
little bit of flirting now and then
would be real vacation for them.
II have three lectures week at
Radcliffe, and it Is surprising how
many young girls are letting the very
best part of their lives go by without
having the least bit of enjoyment.
There are many boys here at Harvard
who do not know what social life
means. They study from the time
they enter school until they graduate.
"Of course, there are some who do
nothing but fool away their time;
do not mean to say that that is what
uphold, for 1t is not. What I mean
is to mix things up bit, sprinkle a
little flirting into the studies. One
can have little of both and still
