M SISTER'S FLIRTATION jWith a Girl at a Window Oppo site Who Mistook Her For Me. By EDWARD C. HANCOCK. ICopyrlght. 1310, by American Press Asso ciation.) j "What n lovely room!" exclaimed my sisler Alice. She had come to Inspect my new bachelor quarters In the city Tm slucl you like it. There's some fining lovelier over there in the back of that house. A pretty girl sits every afternoon In the middle third story window." I A girl came to the window designat d. leaned a pair of white arms on the sill, looked down nt the clotheslines below and went away without seeing ivs. i "You don't mean to say you call her fretty?" said Alice. i "I consider her beautiful. I would Bike to attract her attention, but dare not." "What are you afraid of?" "Being n stranger to her, I am afraid tf offending her." "Supiose I coach you on starting a (flirtation witu-a girl at an opposite (window?" "I wish you would. "Will you do as I say?" "Certainly." "Very well. If she comes to the win dow again while I'm here I'll tell you what to do." it Alice went about the room opening drawers and closets, poking her nose everywhere. I never saw anything ilike the curiosity of a girl. Presently, (looking out. she saw the girl sitting at jthe window opposite. She was darn ling stockings. Alice, keeping far ienough back not to be seen, watched Uier for a few minutes, then said to me: "Go to the window, pull up the shade (or something to make a noise that will being Insulted she must needs turn her back." "Nevertheless I shall Insult her again." "I forbid you." "Nonsense! If she had considered herself insulted she wouldn't have come to the wludow at all. She's play ing it on you." Alice had brought In some roses from home for mo. She took up one, went to the window, took deliberate niin nt the girl opposite and fired the rose, striking her on the back of the head. The girl started, turned, scowled, glanced at Alice and, supposing her to be n man, showed every evidence of being offended. Then she got up from her chair, closed the blinds and shut us off. "Very likely she won't come to the window again today," suld Alice. "It's too near dinner time. She'll have to do her hair before dinner, and then It will be too late." "You seem to, know all about it Why will she hare to do her hair be fore dinner?" "Because It Isn't fit for the dinner table." "I thought It delightfully negligee." "Delightfully frowsy you mean." I took Alice to the theater that night, and the next day she was ready to re sume her efforts with' the girl opposite. After breakfast Alice called me to come to the window. "There, stupid!" she said, poiutlng to the window opposite. "What do you think of that?" On a stand near the window was a tumbler and in the tumbler was a rose. "That's the identical rose you threw at her." You don't mean It?" I cried. "What's ihe next more?" it Wlwtt Everybody Want.

"I didn't promise to offer an Insult" "Stupid."' "What do you mean?" "Am I not a girl, and don't I know twhat would please a girl?" "Yon wouldn't wish a man you had never seen to throw you a kiss, would your "Never seen! Do yon suppose she lias never seen you?" "I don't know that she has. Any ,way, I have no reason to suppose she has noticed me." "I have. I saw her casting glances over here." "Oh. you see too much! I've been watching her too. She hasn't taken her eyes off the heel of that stocking since she has been at the window." 'There's nothing to be made of a fellow like you. Get me out some of your clothes. I'll put them on and do the trick myself. You and I are the image of each other, and she won't know the difference." She put on just enough of my clothes 4o represent me and went to the win dow, giving a loud "Ahem!" The girl turnej. arid Alice threw her a kiss. The girl pulled down the sash with a tiling nud U ft the window apparently 3n high dudgeon. "There." I said to Alice, "you've Spoiled everything!" "You mean I've started a flirtation." ' "What caD I do to" "Nothing, i'ii do it for you. Tou d poil It all." "Hut you're not here except occa sionally." "I'm going to stay here. Get me a room for a few days." I would much rather have got rid f tier, for I was sure she had offended the girl opposite, and I didn"t wish her to get me any deeper Into the mire. But ebe insisted, and I secured a room for ber. That afternoon the girl op iate sat down by her window with tier bark turned to the light She held a book In ber band. "You ," I said to Alice, "to escape "I would like to have you make yourself, only you might act silly. You see, at this time of day the sun shines ou this window, and I'm afraid she'll suspect I'm a girl." "I'll era it. I'm all right now. I'm not afraid of anything." "Bosh! You have no pluck at all." However, it was arranged that should make the next move, whatever that might be, though Alice was to de cide upon it. We sat, I reading the paper, Alice keeping watch on the win dow opposite. Presently the girl ap peared in a very becoming morning costume. She looked up at the sky, "She's pretending she's interested in the weather," said Alice, "but that's pretty thin considering there's not cloud in the sky. Stay where you are. She can't see either of us. She'll think you have gone out and will give her self away by and by." After the girl had examined the heavens she swept her eyes in a light ning glance across my window. Then she disappeared. "Too bad." said Alice, "that she has put on ber finery to be disappointed. "What finery?" "What finery! Do you suppose girls dress that way in the morning when they are doing household duties? She expected after yesterday's perform ances to see her admirer at least for a moment before his going downtown." Alice went shopping during the morn ing, and I went to my club. Not yet being settled In an occupation, I am obliged to get away with the day as best I can. I met Alice at a glove counter and took her to lunch. Then we went to my room ready to continue my wooing by proxy. Alice concluded to close the blinds In order that she might observe the enemy through the slats; but, fearing the girl, opposite would see her watching, she called a maid for the purpose. Then Alice and I lounged, awaiting developments. About 3 o'clock the girl came to her window and. seeing my bHnda closed. did not scruple to fix her eyes upon them. Alice, who was watching her. directed me to suddenly throw the blinds open. I did ao. The girl beat a precipitate retreat After awhile Alice told me to go to the window and sit there reading a paper with my back to the light. I did so, while Alice herself went to an other window and watched through the slats. Presently she caught sight of a dim figure in the back of the room opposite. She could see that the girl was watching me. Then the girl came forward, unconscious that she was un der observation. Suddenly Alice burst Into a laugh. "What Is it?" I asked. "She's throwing a kiss at the back of yot'r head." This was too much for me to endure without seeing. I turned just In time to catch a glimpse of a figure getting back out of the light. Now I have started you," said Alice, "I leave you to do the rest your self. I shall go home tomorrow." "Do you think I can get on alone?" 1 asked. 'There's nothing more to do In this way. If you wish to follow the matter up you must find a way to make ber acquaintance. ai:d. having met her. you t be careful not to mention any ling you have learned of her Interest n you. Letter not mention this part of it. Treat her as a perfect strantrer." "Wiild you mind. Alice," I asked. telling me how yru learned all this?" girl." But how about your experience in similar rirenmstances?" Oh. bother! There haven't been ny similar circumstances in my ease." "Yoo got It all by instinct V "Tes." "Well, all I have to say Is yonr In stinct is mighty strong." I at least had the ability to find out who the girl opposite was and bunted mong my friends till I found a mu tual acquaintance who Introduced me.
