The photograph shows the charter members of a newly organized Anti-Flirt club in Washington, D.C., a group formed in 1923 and named for its stated opposition to flirting. The period was one of rapid change in American courtship and social life, when younger women were moving into jobs, cars, and public entertainment, and older ideas about proper conduct between the sexes were being debated in newspapers and magazines. Clubs like this one, which the title presents with a wry tone, were often as much a commentary on those anxieties as a serious social movement. The National Photo Company, a Washington studio that documented the city's people and events for decades, made the image.
