 MT. Jarr knew where he would get some sympathy, at least he thought he would. So at lunch time he hur- ried to the place where his friend Rangle generally was to be found. At the sight of Mir. Jarr's discolored eye Mr. Rangle gave a snort of joy. What a peach of a shinerW he cried. What lovely purple chrys- anthemum!"

 He is the kind of young man whom many a girl would like to bring be- fore a magistrate when he tries to force his attentions on her. but is re- luctant to do so because of the noto- riety that would follow.
 The young women about him where he works are his targets, too, and as a rule he has a pretty good opinion
 When he has graduated from the "corner" variety you will usually see him in the restaurant showing how much he can spend when ordering a dinner for a young girl, and other wise pretending smartness.

 He goes on being the "flipper" and continues his flirtatious ways. He gets tired of his wife quickly because he has little of the quality of con stancy.
 Yes. he is with us-very much with us, the "flipper''-and is equally re- sponsible for many of the ills that are talked about in connection with young people.
 Some social reformer might well turn his guns on him and thus find out that much of the trouble that is attributed to the "flapper" is made by the Clipper"

ENTER THE "FLIPPER"
By SOPHIE IRENE LoEB

We have heard great deal about the "flapper." and all kinds of ad- vice Is given to the young woman in flapperdom. She has been the center of the stage ever since she was nick named.
 But very little has been said about her prototype of the male gender who might be termed the "flipper," and he may likely be responsible for some of the shortcomings of the fe- male of the species.
 Indeed. you see him on most any corner-the dandy young man who is flippant and flirtatious. and who forces his attentions on the young women passersby.
 He is found on the subway as well and in all other public places. Usual ly he is the young man at home who fails to contribute to the support of the family and spends nearly all of his money on himself When his in come is small he tries to initiate his

DOMESTIC DAYS

As Mr. Jarr stepped off the curb hurrying to his office his feet slipped and down he went. He was carrying an umbrella with a knob handle, and in some wild way he struck himsel severe blow in the eye with the knob.
 His eye commenced to swell, and when he reached the office it was nearly closed and the confusion was turning black.
 Ut was a long time coming to you" said the head bookkeeper cheerfully, but I see you got 1t, and in the premilinary bouts."

these men who never spoke to their wives after they were married eN- cept to find fault with them, never to notice or praise anything that was well done, but to have an eagle eye for every blunder and every mis- take. l have known these men never to take their wives out to any place of amusement, never to devise any pleasure for them, never even to make them a present.
 have known men who were spoken of as such good men," They were so friendly So kindly to every one They always visited the sick, and went to funerals, and headed do- nations. They were always so pleas sant and companionab1e.
 have known men like that who took out all the nerves and temper they did not dare show customers and clients upon their families. Some times they were men who were too much gentlemen to swear and curse, but they held more lethal weapon over the heads of their wives and children When anything displeased them for some unknown reason they would put into the gloomy silence, silence that froze everybody anu everything and sent the temperature down to zero, and this would last for days and weeks.
 I have known plenty of men who spoiled what might otherwise have been happy home with their grouches, and made it a place of torment from which the children fled as soon as they were old enough to leave.
 I contended that the meanest hus- bands is the man who is good out side of the home and mean in 1t. He is the most contemptible bully and coward in the world, because he vents his spleen on the only people who are in his power, and helpless to defy him. He is the meanest hus- band because he respects the letter of the law of marriage, but breaks it's spirit.
 Not all injuries are physical ones. A hurt heart can ache more than a wound. A bruised soul is worse than a black eye. Sarcastic speeches stab deeper than a knife. A mans selfish ness is a more deadly rival than an vamp.
 As an illustration of woman's in- consistency it is often remarked tha women leave good men, apparently without reason. and stick to men who are drunkards, and jailbirds, and rounders. But the women know what they are doing. They know that these men have some qualities of generosity, of tenderness, of gentle ness, of pleasantness, that makes them, bad as they are, better hus- hands than many good man.
