10 do 10 wiring out her old clothes, without

"A correspondent reports a kissing party for
the HERALD. Perhaps it was private affair
and should not be "put into the papers," The
correspondent asks, "What does our Editor
think of kissing partiesy' The Editor replies
that at kissing parties he has never objected
TO the application OF kisses BY second persons
TO the first, but in applications between Sec
ond and third persons he looks on with dis
favor. For more general answer he will
say there are better ways for young people to

very good paper, however. Il is creditable
to it that ii knsws wha. is good enough to
