The Art of Courtshio
By Winifred Black

syllable for slyyable We all knew
them by heart-every girl in town
and used 10 say then over 10 each
other whenever we saw the educat-
ed sutton Turing a girl to sit out the
dances with him somewhere where
there were flowers or moon or
something: oh, he'd learned about
all those things in his book. too.
Married? He? Why, there
wasn't a girl in the state who would
look at him-and he was good to
look at, too, in a ponderous kind
of way-fairly intelligent and more
than fairly well-to-do.
Married. A man who had to
learn the art of courtship before
he knew what to say when he want
ed TO tell the girl that he thought
she was pretty? No. no! Nature
konws a thing or two, and nature
intends that all such freaks as that
shall stay freaks. alone, and she ar
ranges 1t so they won't have much
trouble doing it. either.
The art of cOurtship-in a class!
I shouldn't be surprised If some alb
surd board of education somewhere
would start such a thing. They are
getting US into classes and telling
us how 10 be mothers and what 10
do when little Mary says she won't
and little Tommy says he shan't,
and what to do when the baby is
lonesome and wants to be cuddled,
taught, instructed, educated, en-

are we all perfect idiots nowadays?
Can't we play ring-around-a-rosy
or drop the handkerchief without
some solemn prig standing around
with a measuring ribbon telling us
the right way TO hold hands and the
only scientific method of kissing?
Need to BE Taught.
The art of courtshipl If there
ever gets to be a regular branch of
the curriculum Of the American
schools I'm going TO gather up my
traps in a shawl strap and migrate
to the Cannibal islands. where a
man knows enough TO pick out his
own sweetheart-even If he can't
read or write.
Why don't you open a school and
teach the frogs how to swim. pro-
lessor? And, hearken. how would
il do TO start a great academy, where
larls can learn how TO sing and
where the swallows can be taught
to twitter-almost as well as a pro-
fessor?

The art Of courtship should be
taken up as one OF the regular
branches OF study IL our public
schools. says a certain reverend
minister OF a western city. THE

there will be a department of this
kind in our educational systems.

when, pray tell US, pretty teacher,
are there any more at home like

become an art and how long IS it
since an American boy has had TO
go TO school to learn how TO tell the
girl ne loves that ne loves her, and
that he'll die in his tracks if she
doesn't tell him that minute she
loves him, too.
What kind Of girls do you know q?
DO tell us Where do they come
from? What do they look like Z?
What is their manner and mode Of
life? I never saw a girl in my life
who had to be taught what to do
when the man she loves tells her
she's the sweetest thing on earth.

And who would you get to give
those precious lessons. dear sir
Some dry-as-dust professor who has
forgotten everything he can't learn
in a book, or some foreorn old lady
who never had a sweetheart in her
life?
I knew a man once who knew
the art of courtship-he'd learned
it in a book He practiced that art
