sun more grotesque than the
spectacle of the middle-aged
mother Of a family aping the
airs and graces of a debutante,
and trying to act kittenish and
cute when her antics are only
those Of a performing elephant.
Yet how often do we see this
done and how many women do
we know and laugh at who be-
lieve themselves to be fascinators
because they are surrounded by
a horde of sycophantic men who
flatter them for the sake of eat
ing the dinners. and riding in
the cars. and sitting in the opera
boxes, and spending weeks ends
at the country places that the
women's husbands pay for.
BE sure that if any of these
ilirtatious middle aged married
women could hear what their
admirers say Of them behind
their fat backs, they would be
instantly and forever cured Of
the belief that they were second
edition Cleopatras, with weather
and age proof charms.
These married flirts consider
themselves good women and pill
lars of society because they hold
to the letter of the moral law
and only transgress the spirit.
But they Judge themselves too
leniently. The wife who seeks
the admiration of other men
than her husband, and who lures
them on, as we'll as she is able,
into making love speeches to her,
is false at heart and untrue to
her marriage vows. She has no
reason to draw her skirts away
from her sisters of the street.
Indeed, they may be better wom-
en- than she is. for she. at least,
has not known their temptation.
1t is one thing for woman to
be driven into wrong-doing by
hunger. and cold. and want. or
some deadly injury that has been
practiced upon her. 1t is anoth-
er thing for her to deliberately
daily with sin, the finery her
husband has given her on her
back, within the shelter of her
home. and with the tenderness
and love of a good man protect
ing her.
Yet that is what u flirtatious
married woman does, and it
makes her otfense a particularly
iniquitous ne. 1t is hard on a
woman to be married to man
who flirts. but it is doubly hard
on a man to have a flirtatious
wife. because society pities and
puts a halo about the head of the
wife who forgives her husbands
amours; it sneers at the man and
calls him an ugly name if he
shuts his eyes to his wife's faults
in this particular.
For this reason, and because
when a woman marries man
and he gives her his name. she
is more bound in honor to keep
il clean than if it were her own.
no married woman with any
sense of decency has a right to
engage in a Irritation. Men
friends she may have. Charm
ing she may be to them in her
truth and loyalty and devotion to
her family, but for her the days
of love balances are over. No
man may make love to her with
out insult, She may not listen
to it without DEGRADATION.
And beyond all this is the folly
of 1.-THE supreme idiocy of risk
ing everything in the world

The answer is, because they
are fools.
Nobody with a grain Of sense

for so little as the married wom-

err, the pleasure Of having her
vanity tickled by the thought
that she can still attract the at
tention Of men. with the price
of divorce, and the loss Of every
thing worth having for a wom-
an.
There is no other such one
sided game in the world, and the
marvel of it is that any human
being, outside of the home for
the feeble-minded. could be
found reckless enough and silly
enough to engage in it. Yet
there are thousands of women
who stake their happiness on
this desperate venture.
II is incredible. but it is true,
that there are women who have
all the goods the gods provide
who have kind and generous hus-
bands, luxurious homes, beauti-
full clothes. lovely children who
are not satisfied with all these
blessings but are never happy
unless they think they have Sc
cured the admiration of every
man in sight.
Such women carry on clandes-

Without them the fashionable
preacher could not go to Europe
for six months in the year nor
the fashionable doctors roll
around in limousines. Nor is
there any extent to which they
will not go in their mad desire

If there is nobody else about,
they will make eyes at the disre-
putable old FOUNDERS that hang
about cafes and roadhouses.

bring TO these women only an
additional recklessness and folly.
so that they are less careful of
their conduct than the tlightiest
girl would be. Yet they know,
If they would only stop to think
that the faults that the world
excuses in youth it does not ex-
cuse in sober maturity.
Ii is n curious fact that the
most susceptible time of a wom-
ans life is not when she is sweet
and twenty, but when she is fat
and forty, and old enough TO
know better. But she doesn't.
A young girl may suspicion a
mans motives and assay his
compliments 10 see how much
Veracity is in them, and weigh
his vows of devotion TO ascertain
how heavy they are with real
feelings, but the middle-aged
woman's vanity is so hungry and
SO voracious that she swallows
whole every honeyed speech a
man makes her.
Possibly this explains the mid
