Of courso there are circumstanced In
which a husband or wife .may. properly
object to their eprouse's correspondence-
A nrah may not, for Instance, approve of
his wlfo receiving letters from other men
A wlfo may bo Insanely jealous of the

then the remedy Is not tho high-handed

letters,
Tho affinity, however, does not figure
In tho ordinary family circle, and the
average husband and wife receive no
letters from a more exciting source than
Sister Susan or grandma, pr Cousri
Jane, or some old friend. Why any human
being except the one to whom they ar
addressed, want to read the unexciting
chronicles set down In this epistles,
pa-sses comprehension.
Novertheless, "It Is the Ill-bred habit
of. many husbands and wives to open
each other's" letter and read tho con
fidences that wero never meant for their
eyes. It Is sort of listening at, the keyhole-that
does not endear the, Paul -I'ry
or tho Polly Pry to his or her wife oi
husband.
It Is" not that the wife or "husband hns
any guilty secret that Is hidden In the
Jotter, butno'woman or man ofreiiM-e-'flnefhent

and "friends' affairs' oven to his' wife or
Husband. John, Snlth, fine and honor1
able, and devoted to his" wlfo, shrinks
from laying before her eyes the sorrowful
story his sister has written hhn about a
wayward boy who has been caught rob
bing a cash drawer. Alary Smith, as loyal
a wlfo as ever lived, cannot bear that
her husband should read her mothei's
letter . In which she sobs out the pitiful
tale of how Mary's father has spent tho
rent money on liquor, and how they nro
to pay the grocery man, she doesn't
know.
Generally speaking most husbands and
most wives are jealous of each other's
families, and prone to criticism of them.
The, family letters furnish material for
criminations,, and lead to recriminations
and to domestic spats. For that reason
alone, if for no other, husbandB and wives
have no business meddling with each
other's mall.
Over and beyond the letter Itself,
though, the objection each other's letters
Is the deadly affront It offers to one's
Individuality. The mere act of tho tear
ing open of the envelope rlvnts on one
the fetters of a slave. ' It Is the out
ward and visible sign of subjection, and
any man or any woman would have to
have the soul of a mouse not to feel tho
hot blood of rebellion and righteous anger
surge up In her or him against It.
The opening of your letter brings home
to you as nothing else can the fact that
you have not left one lota of freedom,
not one vestlgo of personal liberty, not
one scintilla of privacy. Homebody else
has asserted the right to see .ords writ
ten for you alone; to hear confidences
Intended for only your own breast! to
keep you under espionage as If you were
a child, and you would be more than
human if you did not resent It, anl hate
the domestic tyrant on your hearthstone.
The thing that makes matrimony a
failure oftener than anything else Is just
this lack of decencies and reserves of
life between husbands and wives. It
is because married people so seldom are
generous enough to extend to each other
any liberty of action that marriage be
comes a bondage that we are ready to
break at any price.
Tho one thing that militates more
against domestic happiness than anything
elBe Is the knowledge that a woman has
that she hu( got to give any account of
everything she does, of every cent that
she spends, and of every place that she
goes to her husband, and that ahe has got
to submit to his critical approval her
dress, her opinions, her friends, her poli
tics, and her religion. That's what makes
her envious of the bachelor woman, and
dream of careers.
Nor would there be many sidestepping
husbands If a woman had enough sense
to Bay to the man he married; "See,
here, John, I didn't apply for the Job of
Jailer when I became your wife.
"X don't want to Interfere with all the
things you enjoy doing. Nor am I going
to hold a stop watch on you and see that
you get home on the minute. Nobody
can be happy who Isn't free, and I pre-
sent you your liberty on a silver salver,
sure that you won't make a bad use of
It."
That's the secret of how to be happy
i though married. It's to respect each oth-
er's right, and not to enforce one's own
rights, and chief among the rights' that
( matrimony doesn't give Is to open a
iiuiband's or wife's letteis That's n
iplfcr uf Impertinent and vuh,a, luuowt,
to -which no one should n ibn,it.

The gentle art of flirting has been con
demned In no uncertain terms In tho lat
est book by I.c Daron II, Ilriggs, president
of Radcllffe college.
"Ho d?es not call It flirting; being the
dean of a college and a literary man,
besides ho uses more words to describe It.
According to Mr. Ilriggs, flirting is "the
deliberate, systematic and indiscriminate
use of personal fascination, the use of
power for the pleasure of exercising It
and for no good end." Furthermore, says
this writer, 'the power to fascinate men,
consciously used to glvo zest to life, be
comes almost despicable; at the very
least, It tends to make a girl useless and
leads her to making men useless; at tho
worst. It breaks homes and happiness,"
This wvere arraignment of tho flirt
was to put before Mrs. Itena Cary Bhef

Hheffleld condemned flirting almost as se
erely us the worthy dean. Nothing less
would have been possible under those
eyes.
"We read a great deal about flirting
nowadays." said Mrs. Sheffield, "but, as
a master of fact, It Is only the very young
or the very brainless woman who flirts,
and neither Is typical of the modern
woman as we know ahe exists."
Mrs. Sheffield lives In the Suffrage
building, right over the Kuffrage asso
elation, und while she Is young and at
tractive looking and full of vivacity, tho
foundation of her edifice, the great suf
frage cause, and her own work give her
a different and higher outlook upon life.
"Innocent flirting Is Instinctive In the
young. One would hardly have It other
wise. Even the most carefully brought
up young girl has to discover her own
power of attraction and find out what It
Is all about, and It Is the privilege of the
very youiig. To flirt l Inherent In the
jo .th of all race'.
