...only said that because I beat her by one vote. Don't you think that gentlemen ought to wear evening dress at the theatre - I mean swallow-tail; gloves and all that? Now I don't know why, but I know that Cousin Harry doesn't get thirsty so often when he wears full dress. But, dear Mr. Editor, don't you think it is awful to flirt? I never flirt when any one I know is watching me, because I really think it's wicked. I've bet a pair of gloves that Harvard would beat Yale next summer...

...girl who fully understands her business. The mustache, she knows very well, is made to season kisses with, and in many instances kisses derive more than two-thirds of their sweetness from the character of the mustache. Something depends upon the color sometimes, and often the texture is a matter of real consideration. To some, however, the mustache in any color or in any way is such a perfectly lovely thing that the girl is not particular as to small matters if it is only a-mustache.
