The Girl Who
Flirts
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

TIME complaint of a young man that
his sweetheart flirts dndles
regret that word SO originally
sweet and innocent has become so un-
wholesome and bedraggled.
Webster says that Irritation is play
ing at courtship without any cruel in
tentions.
The word "Flirt," az lie understood
it, meant a girl in her attitude toward
her lover She fiirts with him; she
taunts him, she leases him, she fills
his days with torture and his nights
with despair. and Just when he feels
that he can endure no more, she gives
a sweet little smile of encouragement,
and he falls in love a little deeper.
The fiirt whom we admire in book
and story Is like a pretty little butter
fly, always keeping just far enough
ahead OF her pursuer's fingers to keep
him interested and make him forget the
long chase she has led him. She hirts
with only one man. And that man IS
the man who loves her and whom she
loves
Some day she will confess her love,
and I doubt not that II WIN be lasting
and true.
This is the flirt of prose and poem.
} II is the woman whose goodness and
Z purity are given added zest by her in
nocent desire to torment and to tease
the man she loves.
There is a sad difference in the mod
ern application. The word loses all fits
original prettiness when applied TO a
girl who ogles and winks and stares to
attract the attention Of a stranger 1t
is then that the butterfly has a little
bit of the soil Of earth on its wings
If the sweetheart who writes me
the letter OF despair has girl who
flirts with him, and with no one else,
he has given his heart to a woman in
whom he always will be interested. She
loves him, else she wouldn't torment
him. 1t is the torment Of love that Is
its great JOY.
Love has been defined as a sickness
fun OF woes all remedies refusing
"a torment of the mind. a tempest ever
lasting
1t is "the bread and wine Of life,
the hunger and the thirst, the hurt and

cured by another"
And only the man whose loved one
allures him one moment and shuns him
the next. keeping his heart first hot
then cold, knows all the delightful ups
and downs OF love making Unless a
woman has a little of this desire to tor
ment. making becomes as prosaic
as buying a steak at the butchers.
1t would look as reasonable to cure
