Who'd kiss but in sincerity"
We are born to kiss and be kissed.
comes natural to us, as a marriage does t,
woman. Why, sir, | can remember kissins
the family babies when / was vet il, my era
die, and my friend Sir Thomas Lawrence die
himself the honor to paint me at my ~favoritt
pursuit, as you know by my exquisite picture
IN my library. Tho very first day | went to
school, | kissed all the dear little aipels there
| wasn't fairly out of my alphabet, when |
used to wait behind a pump for my swcsthear,
TO come out of school and as soon az I saw her,
| made a point Of kissing her, just 10 seo how
prettlly she blushed. As | grew older, I loved
TO steal IN, some summer evening on kcr, and
kiss her asleep on the sofa or, if she was
awake and the old folks were by, I'd wait till
they both got TO nodding, and then kiss her all
the sweeter for the slyness of the thing. All!
such draughts are delicious.
| wouldn't give a ssns to kiss d girl in COM
pany, and | always hated Copenhagen Pawns,
and other kissing plays as | hepe | hate the
devil. They had a shocking custom when |
was young, that every body at the wedding
Should kiss the bride just as they all drank, in
the same free and easy way, out Of one big
China punch-bowl but the practice always
hurt my sensibilities, and | avoided weddings
as | would a ghost, a balif' or any other fright.
No-no-get ysur little charmer up into a
corner by yourself, watch when everybsdy's
back is turned-then slip your arm around
her vast, and kiss her with a long sweet kiss
as if you were a bee sucking honey from a
flower.
Nor can one kiss every girl. I'd as lieve
take lppecacuanha as kiss some of your sharp
chinned, icicle-mouthed,. lignum- vitia- laced
splnsters--why one couldn't get the taste of
the bltters out of his mouth for a week (. ] 90
IN for your rosy, pouting lips, that seem TO
challenge everybody SO saucily egad when
we kiss such at our leisure VIZ think we are in
the seventh heaven. | once lived on such a
kiss torty-eight hours, for it took the taste for
food out of my mouth 'intirely,' as
used to say.
Oh how do love the wide, dark entries |
one finds in old mansions, where one could
catch these saucy little fairies, and before they |
we'll aware Of your presence, kiss them
SO defelously. There's kissing for you Or,
to go upon a sleigh ride, and when all, save
and ysur partner, are busy chatting, while
he merry ring Of tie bells and the whizzing
melton OF the vehicle cause your spirits to
larce for very joy, to make her believe that
you wish to arrange tbs buffalo. or pull her
closer around her, and then stealing
Ysur face INTO her bennett to kiss her for an
Instant Of ecstacy, while she bushes to the
'ery temples, lest others catch you at your
port. And then, on a summer eve, to row
ut upon the bosom Of a ~nloonlit lake, and
While one of the ladies sings, and all the rest
isten, to snatch a chance, and laugkingly kiss
he pretty glrl at your side, all unnoticed ex-
her. Or to sit beside ehatmer on a So
a. a coy fire on a bitter winter sight, and
up the passes of the conversation, vol,
BY drawing her to you, and kissing her
ut more than all, when you have wen a
confession of love from her you have
eng and trembling worshIpped with all boys
eVotlon-ls the rapture of the kiss which you
ress holly to her brew while her warm heart
utters against your side and every pulse in
! your body thrills with an ecstacy that has
o rival in after life. All, sir, that kiss is the
Il is worth all the rest. :
