ALL ABOUT KISSING - HOW i.
SHOULD, AND How IT SHOULD NOT B1
DoNE.-The weather is hot--too hot, W.
think, even for love making and kissing
-on an extensive scale, though littli
would not hurt; at least, we are willing
to risk it. Yet, we suppose, young peo
pie care not for the condition of the wea
ther or the rang o of the mercury wbcr
they ''set their heads on it, TO love ano
he loved by each other. A lady furnish
es full history of kissing-''how to dc
it, and how not to do it,'which we pub
lish .'for the benefit of all concerned:'
''People will kiss, especially young
people, yet not one in a hundred know
how to extract bliss from lovely lips no
more than they know how TO make dia-
monds from charcoal, and yet it is easy,
at least, for us.
This little item is not alone for young
beginners, but for the many who go at
it like hunting coons or sheEing corn.
First, know when you are to kiss. DO
not make mistake, although mistakes
may be good. Don't jump mp like a
trout for fiv, and smack a lady on the
neck, or on the ear, or on the corner OF
the forehead, or on the end of the nose,
or slop over on her waterfall or bonnet
ribbon, in haste to get through. The
gentleman should be little the tallest.
He should have 81 clear face, q kind eye,
and q mouth full of expression instead
of tobacco. Don't kiss every thing, in
cluding nasty little dogs. Don't sit
down to it, stand up bravely. Need not
be anxious to get in a crowd.
Two persons are a plenty to corner
and catch kiss. More spoil the sport
1t won't hurt any after you are used to
it. Take the left hand of the lady In
vi crh Ian NJ hot 70
any place ont of the wayl Throw the
left hand gently over the shoulder of the
lady, and let the hand fall down on the
right side toward the left. Don't he i'm
q hurry. Draw her gently to your low
Ing heart. Her hand will fall lightly
upon your shoulder, and hand some
shoulder strap it makes! Don't be in
hurry. Send a little life down your left
arm, and let it know it's business. Her
eft hand is in your right, let there be
no expression to that-not like the grip
Of wise, but a gentle clasp full of elec
tricity, thought and respect. Don't be
N such a hurry. Hor head lies careless
y ON your shoulder; (hold on,) you are
nearly heart to hearti look down into
leI half closed eyes. Gently yet manly |
,ress her to your bosom. Stand firm, |
md Providence will give You strength |
or the ordeal. Be brave but don't be
II hurry. Her lips almost openl lean
lightly forward with your head, not the |
body. Take good aim. The lips meet,
he eyes close, the heart opens, the soul
'ides the storms, troubles and SORROWS
# life vanish, (don't be in a hurryD |
heaven opens before you, tie world |
'hoots from under your feet as meteor
lashes across the evening sky; (don't |
De afraidD the nerves dance before the
irst created altar of love as zephyr
lances with the dew-trimmed flowers
he heart forgets its bitterness, and the
ubime art of kissing is learned
No noise, no fuss, no fluttering and
qulrming, like n hook-impaled worm.
Kissing don't hurt; and it don't require
stamp to make it legal. Don't job
lown on beautiful mouth as if spear
ng for frogs! Do not muss the hair,
cratch down her collar, bite her cheek,
quizGle her rich ribbons and leave her
nussed, rumpled and flummiXedl Do
lot grab and yank the lady as if she was
struggling colt Do not flavor your
,isses with onions, tobacco, gin cock
ails, vermouth, lager beer; brandy, ETC.,
or a muddling kiss is worse than the
tch to a delicate sensible lady. There,
low, is your receipt-try 1t on.
