Philadelphia, Pa.-Insulting re-
marks addressed to a girl employed
in the Bell telephone exchange here
and a reprimand from the chief
operator when she told the man who
had insulted her by wire what she
thought of him, caused her to commit
suicide by drinking carbolic acid. She
was Miss Elizabeth Monk, seven teen
years old, OF No. 1922 Passayunk
avenue. When the chief operator
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
diificulty 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 q man.

visited it. He followed its course,
and on the top of a hill found it ran

when 1 was bidding her goodbye I
told her that she had a task before
her.
"She thought I would say some

to her anticipations, told her that
she would have to fiirt good and hard

that she would.
'Of course, it makes a 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
little bit of flirting now and then
would be real vacation for them.
"I 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; I
do not mean to say that that is what
I uphold, for 1t is not. What l mean
is to mix things up bit, sprinkle
little flirting into the studies. One
can have little of both and still

Boston, Mass. - Professor George
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 col
lege boy and girl.
"Flirting Is the strest road toward
the proper knowledge Of social life" !"
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 little frivol-
ity with their studies = in other
words, they should flirt aglittle. Were
1 to advise the boys of Harvard or
the girls of Radcliffe, I would tell
them to go around and see things
more than they do.
II am always reminded Of a girl
graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so
hard that she got the reputation of
being over-studious. She never went
anywhere. While the other girls
