COQUETTES DIFFER
FROM THE FL|RTS
Characters Easier to Read
and Love for Them
Doesn't Endure.
By DOROTHY DIX.
Continued from yesterday

Continued from yesterday
-HE coquette is a genial and
agreeable companion that many
men like, but few break their
hearts over her, and unsophsti-
Gated, indeed, must be he who does not
read her as a book.
Far different is the flirt. There is
only one kind of coquette, but there
are a million varieties of fiirts. All of
them, however have this one trait In
common, that whereas the coquette
plays the love game for the sake of the
game. the f1irt plays it for keeps.
The Coquette is content with the
surface admiration of men. The firt
wants something more than that; she
wants the individual, personal, passion
ate devotion of some one man.
She does not hunt in crowds as the
Coquette does. She singles out her
victim and purSueS him to the death
She does not waste her smiles on man
kind in general. She gives them to
some one man and it raises him to the
seventh heaven.
Flirt Is for
One Man Only.
The fiirt is not all things to all men,
but she Is everything TO one man. She
studies his tastes; she fathoms his in
terests: she probes his ambition, and
she transforms herself az only a woman
can into his ideal. If he is religious
she becomes a little devotee. If he is
a business man she processes to hang
upon the ticker and to find trade fas-
Cinating. If he is an athlete she will
wander all day beside him on the
green. If he Is fond of good cooking,
he finds her in a white apron bending
over the chatting dish. If he Is bOOkiSh
she lives in an atmosphere of literature
and art.
Always she fits before him, the figure
Of his desire, stimulating his wit with
her own, piQuing his interest, tanning
the fires of his ambition, pouring oil
upon his vanity, until she has taken
possession of him bOdy and soul and
brain.
How She
Will Explain 1t.
And then-"Really, Mr.. Smithskins, 1
am so surprised that you mlstook my
friendly interest in you for something
more serious I am sure l never gave
mental feeling toward me. Oh, no. II
IS quite impossible. | am perfectly
sure my feelings will never change, etc,
etc.
The firt has no further interest in
him. There is no further sport when
you have caught your game; 50 she
sets her snares again and waits for
fresh victim.
There Is a great difference between
a Coquette and fiirt, son. The coquette
you will recognize at sight. The firt
scalp. And then it's too late.

Peary discovered the pole, printed in
Washington and headed "by Robert Il;
Peary." He asked Capt. Peary if he
had ever seen it before. Pearv replied
thta he had written it.
When the naval committee wanted
Peary to appear last spring he declined

Upon appearing before the committee
Capt. Peary said that his position before

| ready to answer any questions. He de-
| scribed his naval service and said that

and so close is the running of Henry
T. Lippitt, Il wealthy textile manufac-
turcr, and Judge Lebaron Il. Colt of the
United States circuit court of appeals
for the position that none but partisan
observers believe that the baIlotns on
Jan. II will result i'll a deadlock Both
Mr. Lippitt, who is the choice of Sol
ator Aldrich and of th" Republican
state Central committee. and Judge
colt are Republicans. The Democratic
candidate is Judge Arthur Brown. of
the United States circuit court, but, as
the Legislature is safely Republican,
it is thought that Senator Aldrich Will
be succeeded by q Republican.
In case of d deadlock it is thought
that the 45 votes which is the approNi-
mate number generally credited to the
Democratic candidates. will play an
important part in the proceedings.
Judge Brown has not yet definitely an
nounccd that he is a candidate. He
was named by the Democrats at their
last convention for the position and
when asked if he would accept he was
quoted as saying: Il never make a
decision III a case until it comes up.
Since then he has not publicly changed

on the matter is being made by the So
called Regular" faction of the Repub-
lican party, from whom Mr.. Lppitt re-
ceives his chief support. but the sup

His ruling in regard to ballots of this
