The Flirtatious Married Woman
A A POOR, bewildered, disgusted
married man asks me this
question:
“Why do middle-aged married
women flirt?”
The answer is. because they are
fools.
Nobody with a grain of sense in
her head would risk so much for
so little as the married woman does
when she engages In a flirtation.
On the one side are the love and
trust of her husband, the respect
of the community, home, children,
social position, an assured income.
On the other, the pleasure of hav
ing her vanity tickled bj’ the
thought that she can still attract
the attention of men. With the
price of divorce, and the loss of
everything worth having for a wo
man.
There is no other such one-sided
game in the world, and the marvel
of it is that any human being, out
side of the home for the feeble
minded, could be found reckless
enough and silly enough to engage
in it. Yet there are thousands of
women who stake their happiness
on this desperate venture.
It is incredible, but it is true,
that there are women who have
all the goods the gods provided;
who have kind and generous hus
bands, luxurious homes, beautiful
clothes, lovely children; who are
not satisfied with all of these
blessings—but are never happy un
less they think they have secured
the admiration of every man In
sight.
Such women carry on clandestine
acquaintances with men their hus
bands do not know; they write fool
ish, sentimental letters that com
promise them; the run after
celebrities, and they form the fol
lowing and make the fortunes of
all sorts of false prophets and ex
ploiters of new cults. Without
them the fashionable preacher
could not go to Europe for six
months in the year nor the fash
ionable doctors roll around in lim
ousines. Nor is there any extent
to which they will not go in their
mad desire to attract the attention
of men. If there is nobody else
about, they will make eyes at the
disreputable old rounders that hang
about cases and roadhouses, or the
very waiters that serve them.
Age, that should bring intelli
gence and discretion, seems to bring
to these women only an additional
recklessness and folly, so that the?
are less careful of their conduct
than the flightiest girl would be.
Yet they know, if they wrnuld only
stop to think, that the faults that
the world excuses in youth it does
not excuse in sober maturity.

Silly, Fat and Forty.
It is a curious fact that the most
suce>ptible time of a woman’s life is
not when she is sweet and twenty,
but w'hen she is fat and forty, and
old enough to know better. But
she doesn't. A young girl may sus
picion a man’s motives and assay
his compliments to see how much
of veracity is in them, and weigh
his vows of devotion to ascertain
how heavy they are with real feel
ings, but the middle-aged woman's
vanity is so hungry and so vora
cious that she swallows whole every
honeyed speech a man makes her.
Possibly this explains the mid
dle-aged married woman w'ho still
tries to flirt, but it does not excuse
her. Nothing excuses her except
the assumption that she has not
enough gray matter in her head to
comprehend the danger she runs
and the harm she does, and the cer
tainty that she has not enough
sense of humor to perceive the
figure of fun she makes of herself.
For there is nothing under the
sun more grotesque than the spec
tacle of the middle-aged mother of
a family aping the airs and graces
of a debutante, and trying to act
kittenish and cute when her antics
are only those of a performing ele
phant. Yet how often do we see
this done, and how many women
do we know and laugh at who
believe themselves to be fascina
tors because they are surrounded
by a horde of sycophantic men w'ho
flatter them for the sake of eating
the dinners, and riding in the cars,
and sitting in the opera boxes, and
spending week-ends at the country
places that the women’s husbands
pay for.
Be sure that if any of these flir
tatious middle-aged married wom
en could hear what their admirers
say of them behind their fat backs
they would be instantly and forever
cured of the belief that they were
second edition Cleopatras, with
weather and age proof charms.
These married flirts consider
themselves good women and pil
lars of society because they hold
to the letter of the moral law and
only transgress the spirit. But
they Judge themselves too lenient
ly. The wife who seeks the ad
miration of other men than her
husband, and who lures them on, as
well as she is able, into making
love speeches to her. is false at
heart and untrue to her marriage
vows. She has no reason to draw
her skirts away from her sisters
of the street. Indeed they may be
better women than she is, for she,
at least, has not known their temp
tation.
Her Iniquitous Offense,
It is one thing for a woman to be
PAGE FIVE
—MAGAZINI SECTTON
driven into wrong-doing by hunger,
and cold, and want, or some deadly
injury that has been practiced upon
her. It is another thing for her to
deliberately dally with sin, the fin
ery her husband has given her on
her back, within the shelter of her
home, and with the tenderness and
love of a good man protecting her.
Yet that is what a flirtatious
married woman does, and it makes
her offense a particularly Iniqui
tous one. It is hard on a woman to
be married to a man who flirts, but
it is doubly hard on a man to have
a flirtatious wife, because society
pities and puts a halo about the
head of the wife who forgives her
husband’s amours; it sneers at the
man and calls him an ugly name if
he shuts his eyes to his wife’s
faults in this particular.
For this reason, and because
when a woman marries a man and
he gives her his name, she is more
bound in honor to keep it clean
than if it were her own. no mar
ried w r oman with any sense of de
cency has a right, to engage in a
flirtation. Men friends she may
have. Charming she may be to
them in her truth and loyalty and
devotion to her family, but for her
the days of love dalliance are over.
No man may make love to her
without insult. She may not listen
to it without degradation.
And beyond all this is the folly
of it—the supreme idiocy of risk
ing everything in the wprld worth
while for the sake of a handful of
lying compliments.
