Ladies.
WHAT, IS FLIRTATION" ? What is flirtation F Beally, How can 1 tell you that ? But when she smiles I see it’s wiles And when he lifts his hat. 'Tis walking in the moonlight, ’Tis buttoning on a glove; ’Tis lips that speak of plays next week. While eyes are talking love. ’Tis meeting in the ballroom, ’Tis whirling in the dance, ’Tis something bid behind the lid More than a simple glance. ’Tis lingering in the hallway, ’Tis sitting on the stair, ’Tis bearded lips on finger tips, If mamma isn’t there. ’Tis tucking in the carriage, ’Tis asking for a call. ’Tis long good nights in tender lights, And that is—-no, not all! ’Tis parting when it’s over, And one goes home to sleep; Best joys must end, tra-la, my friend, But one goes home to weep.
