Flirtation. —A young lady has devised a plan to dismiss tedious beaux who linger until ten o’clock. Her fan has the words, “Young man, does your mother know you’re out?” painted on one side in small letters, while the other side is blank. She adroitly turns the side with the inscription towards the young man, who, glancing at it, suddenly remembers that he must be at home by 10.30 o’clock certain. She, of course, politely inquires why his haste ; < and he, murmuring an excuse, bids her good night,'and flies from her presence.
