Kissing and Telling of 1t.

When the wrong man kisses the night
woman or the right man kisses the wrong
woman-and both sometimes happen--it.
does not always follow that there IS q
disturbance about IT. The world can
never know how much unauthorized
kissing has been done and forgiven and
forgotten. In the naturally Wild and
audacious career of the human kind there
is great deal of that sort of business,
and it is Just as we'll that it IS not cruelty
dragged before the public on evcry oc-
casion. If that were always done it
would be very discouraging 70 reason-
ably delightful pastime which more or
less concerns everybody. Many of the
cares and trials of this world fi6cl relisf
ID Kiss, il is a very little thing fJsas75ilt-
monty sweet Tor IFS size. and one OF the
few luxuries of this world which well
organized people never get too much of.
Nobody who understands even the rudi-
ments of kissing disdains its practice, and
those who have been so fortunate as to
reach something OF the science of the
thing are not easily restrained in their
pursuit of supreme happiness. kiss
doesn't cost anything, and II pretty
small matter to make disturbance
about, aud most people VIII endure a
great deal Of kissing without getting
angry about it and regarding 1t rs "a mis-
fortune TO make public complaint Now
and then, however, human nature is put
TO an awful test i'm this way. and lumm
nature breaks down. a man may not
be SO particular about putting his kisses
where they viii do the most good; the
chief aim of man Is to get the kiss. and
he Is frequently too hasty and too reck-
less about 1t. But q woman Is apt to be
a little more considerate IN her prefer

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 rs
sweet enough to kiss and frankly told

women who In some unaccoutable way

| be affected by any such talk, but the
number of these Is very, very few
| Whether the Illinois woman was one of
this rare kind or not Is still a matter OF
dispute 1t is also undecided whether
she told the tailor he was a handsome
man: she insists that, being truthful
woman. she could not have done SO
posite side Of the question. There is,
however, no controversy about the one
point that he did kiss her, and after all
this is the most important thing. 1t Is
not certain Just what was the matter
with this kiss-whether 1t was not up
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 hus-
band about it, and the husband lost no
time in horse-whipping the tailor for
doing just what he had doubtless himself
| done a Thousand times In this way the
matter became the property OF the public,
for the tailor proceeded against the nus
band for assault. Such a course Is rs
strange as it is unusual, and if allowed
to go on unrebuked must inevitably cut
a tailor off from many of the good things
of this world - Phil Times
