across the country to where Lee had
headquarters.
Not once during all those days and
nights had the memory OF Claire left
me. Over and over in my mind had
reviewed all that had ever occurred
between us, striving in vain to guess
the riddle. Now I would see and talk
with her brother, and perhaps obtain
the explanation needed. Yet I have
gone into battle with less trepidation
than when rode into Lees headquar-
Eers, and asked his chief-of-staff for

ON MARRIED FLIRTS
By Bonnie Durham

In his amorous fittings, he can't ex-
pect to make a great deal Of Roadway
with the desirable sort of woman, who
will. somehow, weigh the values or
his rejuvenated attentions and the re-
suits to her, in the balance of her good
sense.
The girl whom he does find who will
put up with the kind of complex
proposition which the Married Male
Flirt situation means, is generally
such a brilliant variety of the un-
rnitigated,-such a poor stock of the
splendid creature a well balanced
woman should be, that he quickly tires
of her.
He has gained absolutely nothing.
On the other hand, he has lost the
confidence and respect of certain peo-
PIE who. somehow, are still old1fash-
toned enough to regard such episodes
in the strong white light of truth;
sometimes his wife leaves and some
abundance of tears-he really doesn't
know which is greater of the two
evils.
And the other woman?
Ask me, rather, what she has NOT
lost as the result Of her foolishness
and the selfishness and egotism of the
Married Male F1irt,
The world, whether ill-advised or
no, is thinking ugly things of her
the things that blight her chances for
ever of being a happy care free wom-
an, perhaps in a home of her own
perhaps in the world at large.
Anywhere she may go-on the
streets, in society. in the business
world, in the homes Of her friends;
she Will continue to feel the same
sting of her folly, because, being a
woman in this great, broadening, de-
veloping Twentieth century of ours,
she can never quite hope to come
backl"
Meanwhile the man, having also
made a fool of himself, in time, is good
naturally called a fool by his friends
who let it go at that

as these most most carefully

It was hard to work through the

such duty I passed the greater portion

TO Philadelphia two days after my es-

Claire was, while Peter had been left

Of his followers, losing two men.
Colonel Mortimer had been wounded
slightly. AS to Eric he knew nothing
no one had even mentioned the lads
name.
1t was thus clearly evident could
do nothing, although l now possessed
a well defined theory Of just what had
the hands of Fagin, either hidden Sc
curely away among the sand caves for
some purpose connected with Grants
treachery, or else with the intention
of claiming the reward for his capture
offered by Howe. The former prob
ably seemed most likely in view of
Grants failure to return to Philadel-
phia with Colonel Mortimer, yet there
was no reason why the conspirators
should not wreak vengeance, and win
the reward also. But did Claire
know, or suspect the predicament of
her brother? If she did, then she
was seeking to conceal the truth from
her father, but would never remain
long inactive in the city. I knew the
girls real spirit too well to believe
she would fail for long in Iea4ning
the boys fate. And when she did she
would act quickly. Perhaps even now
she was back at E1mhurst, facing peril
In the track of the contending armies,
striving to give the lad refuge.
In an agony Of apprehension asked
for scouting detail in that direction,
but was sternly refused. Word had
come that Clinton was evacuating
Philadelphia; that his advance was
already across the Delaware. Any mo-
ment might bring to our little army
orders to press forward to intercept
him. I was a soldier, compelled to
remain.

Dorothy Dix has recently written
most splendid article which should not
have been, and probably was not,
missed by many of certain grade of
married women.
Miss Dix wrote on the Married
Woman F1irt,' the "fat, fair and forty
eIaphantine attempt to be sufficiently
kittenish to attract the men, although
she might be embarrassing her good
husband, her friends, and making a
general fool of herself.
Miss Dix is Enthusiastically right;
that variety of woman is, truly, one of
our largest and most enthusiastic va
rieties of the genus fool. She has few
to go her better; one being the
Married Male Flirt.-another the wom-

tentions.
These two latter, I believe. should

Instead of wronging one person he
wrongs two; instead of having at
heart the mere stupid desire to again

the world thinks he has, quite differ

He wrongs and insults his wife in
the first place by his too public at
tention to another woman-his wife,
mind you, who has had to put UP with
him in his varying moods three hun

and probably three meals every day
