Investigate the causes of the almost uni

The Eirtatious Wife
Ily DOKOTHV DIX.
t
A man correspondent asks thin ques
tion :
"What should be done with a flirta
tious wife?"
Something with
boiling nil In It la
about the punish
ment to fit the
prime In such a
case.
Many excuses
may be made for
the f I I r t a t I o us
young girl. Bhe la
gay and giddy,
h-ady with the
kense of her own
Just realized at
tractions for the
opposite sex. Hhe
Is Ignorant and un
sophisticated, and
does not appreciate
the harm aha may
be doing. More
over, she la frAukly
angling for a husband, and Bit ttve men
that come to her net are fish.
No such apology may be offereif fftr
the flirtatious marritd woman. Bh is
old enough to know better. Hho la wise
to the ways of the world and realties the
Irreparable wrong aha Is doing. Hhe ha
her husband. Bhe la not a pot hunter,
fhe klsys tor. the cruel pleasure of killing.
The titrations married woman la both
fool and knave fool because she risks
.so-much for so little, and knave because
she Is disloyal tn the bread aha eats, and
betrays her husband In his own house.
The professional adventuress la not so
desplcahla a character aa the married
woman who usea her wedding certificate
aa a cloak of respectability to cover her
sentimental affairs with men.
The adventuress at least fights in the
open, under her own colors, and takes thd
risks herself, while the wife hides behind
her husband, and carries on her guerrilla
klrmWhes from the safe shelter of her
home. Which la a nefarious proceeding.
and not according to the coda pf civilised
warfare between tha sexes.
, It should be every woman'a first duty
to keep her honor white and her name
unstained. This obligation la doubly bind
ing upon her when she marries, and
voluntarily takes into her keeping a
man's honor and a man's name. 8 he
should ba avail mora careful to keep
them uiiullled than aha did her own.
A woman may conceivably have a right
to do as she pleases with her own. It
may ba her privilege to throw her pearls
In the mud If she fancies, and trample
them underfoot, but nothing could con
done her fnult If sho threw away the
most precious Jewel that a man had, and
that he had trusted to her. The black
treachory of bringing disgrace on a name
hat had been given reverently Into her
keeping should ba eitough to mske any
married woman with a gleam of honor.
or honesty, or common decency In her
soul, run straight.
Cnfortunatuly there are many women
whovn vanity Is so great It outweighs
their principles, and for the sake of be
ing flattered and for tho pleasure of
listening to a few lying, sentimental
speeches they are willing to be also to
the vows they have made and bespatter
the names they bear.
And the name of this woman la Mrs.
I-egion, for tho Cllitallous wife Is a tiioro
common figure thou we like to ndmlt.
Not nil of the alder stepping from the
straight and narrow path is done by hus
bands, even In the most respectable.
church-going circles. It's a good thing
for tho Integrity of the home that Caesar
doesn't aiwaya know a'l that Caesar's
Ifa does, nor all that the nc'golior bay
of Mrs. C
Of course, the flirtatious wife Justifies
lierself by saying that lie:' little affairs
are perfectly Innocent; that thers's no
harm In a littlo spooning In the twilight
with Fomo man who regularly drops In
to tea when her liuehund Is at business,
or In her meeting some man alu:ot by
accident In the park or at luncheon, or
n the writing and receiving of senti
mental notes. It ! true that she wouldn't
have her husband averhear any of these
tete-a-tete conversations, or have one of
the letters drop Into his hands for
world, but that's Just bacause John Is
so ahsnrd rl'l ridiculous and obtuse that
wouldn't understand.
Hut sha's (iult sura there's no harm in
her flirting a bit, because she will know
where to flop, uul when to draw the line.
Which sometimes happens and sometimes
doeon't. but a womau's knowing tha psy.
etiological moment In wtilch to call off a
flirtation doesn't Justify her In It. On the
other hund It condemns her the more, be
cause some excuse Is to be made for the
indlt-crctlon of a married woman, carried
away by arvoverwhelmlng passion for a
man not her husband, but none is to be
made for the disloyalty of the ule who
is being unfaithful merely to titillate 'her
egotism by being admired by men.
Any nuu-rled woman who flirts, who
seeks or recerves the attention of strange
men. Is unfaithful to her marriage vow.
There Is no half way place In loyalty. It
gives everything ar nothing, and there ar
few husbands who would cere t keep tha
body of love after Its soul had fled.
And the amazing thing about tha fllr.
tatlous wire Is her folly In risking sa
murh for so little. I hava In mind this
minute a woman married to a man who
adored her, and who lavished the most -beautiful
and tender attentions upon her.
In addition, being wealthy, ha gave hen "
fine ton and country houses, automo
biles and horses and rarrlagas, diamond
and coetly clothes, everything that montf
rould buy. This woman had nearly grown
children and apparently all that heart
could desire, except an Insatiable craving '
for the admiration of many men.
Bhe was one of the flirtatious wives.
In truth, her flirtations never went be..

flna day the husband overheard another
man making lova to Ma wife, and a ,
search of her desk revealed a pile of lova '

In Reno.
Tha flirtatious wife Is the worst 08
traitors ,to her sex because aha must
elthor prey on other women's husbands,
or else robs soma girl of a husband, and
makes every man afraid to marry by
lowering in his area tha standard of
womanhood. , '
In Kentucky they toll tha story of a)
plain mountain woman whose husband
was elected to tha legislature, by and
by the mountain woman came down t
tha capital, and observing with horror -

solefy, she announced her own coda of
ethics In dealing with men.
"I don't pester na woman' husband,
sha said, "and I don't want no womaa

Which Is a good motto for all married
women.
