The SCIENCE OF KIssING.-People will kiss, yet
not one in hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips, no more than they know how 70
easy, at least for us This little item is not alone
for new beginners, but for the many who go to it
like hunting coons or shelling corn. First know
although mistake may be good. Don't jump up
like. trout for fly, and smack q woman on the
neck, on the ear, the corner Of her forehead,
on the end OF her nose or knock oil her waterfall,
or jerk her bonnet ribbon, in haste to get through.
The gentleman should be little the tallest. He
should have clean face, kind eye, mouth full
of expression instead of tobacco. Don't kisa
everybody, including nasty little dogs, male Ne Of
female. Don't sit down to it; stand up Need
not be anxious about getting in crowd.
| Two persons are plenty to corner and catch
kiss; more persons spoil the sport. STAND arm;
it won't hurt you any after you are usea 70 y:
your hat 60 to--any place out OF the way throw
the left hand gently the shoulder Of the lady,
and let the hand fall down upon the right Side to-
ward the belt. Don't be in hurry; draw her
gently, lovingly to your heart; her head will fall
| lightly upon yonr shoulder-and a handsome
s6oulderstrap it makes! Don't be in hurry;
send little life.down your leftarm andlet it know
its business. Her left hand is in your right let
there be an expression to that not like the grip Of
vice, but a gentle clasp, full of electricity,
thought and respect Don't be in q hurry Her
head lies ss, n ay On oo a sh9ds t You
your bosom Stand firm, and Providence VIII
give you strength for the ordeal Be brave, bat
lightly with aoe he So
Take good aim !; the lips meet-the eyes
close-'the heart opens-the soul rides the
storms, troubles and sorrows of life (don't be
in hurry y)-heayen opens before you-the world
shoots from under your feet as q meteor, flashes
across the evening sky don't be afraid the
nerves dance before the just erected altar Of love
as zyphyrs dance with the dew trimmed flowers
kissing is learned. No noise no fuss, no iuttering
and squirming like hook impaled worms. Kissing
don't hurt; it don't require brass band to make
it legal. Don't jab down on beautiful month =
lady as if she was struggling colt! Don't muas
her hair, scratch down her collar bite her cheek,
squizzle her rich ribbins,. and leave her nlssea,
rumpled and muxed! Don't fayor your your k,sss. hssn
