Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-02-10

When the wrong man kisses the right
woman or the right man kisses the
wrong woman--and both sometimes hap
pen--it does not always follow that there
Is q disturbance about II. III world
can never know, says, the Phi alpha
Times, how much unauthorized l,as been
done and forgiven aud forgotten. In
the naturally wild and andaciol's career
Of the human kind there Is good deal
of that sort Of business, and IT Is just as
well that it is not cruelty dragged be-
fore the public Oh every occasion. II
that were always done It would DO very
discouraging to reasonably delightful
pastime which more or less concerns
everybody. Many Of the cares and
trials Of this world find relief in d kiss
it is q very little thing, uncommonly
sweet for it's size, and one of the few
Injuries OF this world, which well-or-
ganizcd people never get too much Of.
Nobody who understand even the rutii-
ments Of kissing disdain its practice,
| and those who have been SO fortunate
as to reach something of the science Of
the thing are not easily restrained IL,
their supreme happiness Akiss doesn't
cost anything and it's O pretty small
matter to make disturbances about,
and most people will endure a good deal
of kissing without getting angry about
it and regarding 1t a misfortune "
make public complaint, Now and then,
however, human nature IL pnt to an
awful test in this way, and human ma
tnre breaks down. A man may not be
so particular about putting his kisses
where they will do the most good the
chief aim of man il to get the kiss, and
he is frequently too hasty and too reck-
less about it. But o woman is apt to be-
little more considerate in her prefer
| ances.
There was an Illinois woman, now,
who had a prejudice against being kissed
| by tailor (possibly because the other
eight parts Of the man were not around)
although the tailor was perfectly free to
say that he had no prejudice against
kissing the lady. He regarded her as
sweet enough to kiss, and frankly told
her So There are Some cold, proud wo-
men who, in some unaccountable way,
have got into this world, who would not
be affected by any sach talk, but the
number of these Is very, very few.
Whether the Illinois woman was one Of
| this rare kind or not is still matter Of
dispute. 1t is also undecided whether
she told the tailor he was handsome
man; she insists that, beng u truthful
woman; she could not have done so con
scientiously, while he takes the opposite
side Of the question. There is, however,
no controversy about the one point that
| he did kiss her. and after all that is The
important thing. It's not certain just
what was the matter with this kiss
whether it was not mp to the standard,
or whether there may not be something
peculiar about a tailors kiss. But it is
certain that the lady didn't lose much
time in telling her husband about it,
and the husband lost no time in horse
whipping the tailor for doing just what
he had doubtless himself done thousand
times. In this way the matter became
the property of the public, for the tailor
proceeded against the husband for as
sanlt. Perhaps when the case is brought
to trial we shall get some idea about
what there is to tailors kiss which in
duces woman to tell her husband about
it and create disturbance in tho COM
munity. Such a.course is as strange as
+ it is unusual, and if allowed to 60 on
: unrebuked must inevitably cut q tailor
off from many Of the good things Of this
l world,
