Fortified by Filial Fondness, Followed her Father’s Footsteps, and

Forgave the Father, and Fell Flat on his Face; For he had Fervently
Fallen in a Fiery Fit of love For the Fair Fenella. He Feasted and

[Illustration: TEASING MADE EASY FOR LADIES]
Let the lady, on some occasions, appear devotedly attached, and
unusually fond, particularly at parting in the evening.--The next day,
let her meet her lover with a frown of hatred, and repulse his advances
with a look of ineffable scorn. If he dare to demand a reason for
such conduct on her part (which he will hardly venture to do for some
hours), let the reply be, “I am surprised, sir, YOU should think of
addressing me, after what has past. Oh! I never!” This will SETTLE him
for the rest of the day, during which time you can throw in a variety
of sly HINTS, to make him COMFORTABLE, and cause him to wish that he
had never been born. At parting, hold out your hand to him, coolly,
and say, “Farewell, cruel man!” but deign no further favor. The next
morning, if he call on you--which he certainly will,--relax somewhat
of your austerity--burst out into tears, and throw yourself into his
arms, sobbing as if your heart would break. This will produce a fine
effect! He will accuse himself, inwardly, of a thousand faults he never
committed, and acknowledge them for the sake of forgiveness, which you
must gradually bestow.
