A Kiss on the Sly.

There IS to be found much refresh
ment in a we'll proportional kiss
This much everybody acknowledges,
though only a frank few have the
courage to acknowledge 1t openly
And it is a curious fact, as yet un'
explained by the philosopher, thai
the slyer the kiss, the more there is
in it of refIeshment.
A kiss that is paid as a forfeit be-
fore a whole room full Of people is
prosaic, not to say embarrassing
The girl laughs, which spoils the ro'
nance, and a fellow, ten to one,
bushes. Neither of them think
much of it, and they both are APT
pretty soon to forget all about 1t.
But let the same fellow kiss the
same girl when nobody is looking.
and the situation is as different as
possible. That sort of a kiss, fired
off in a hurry behind a door or in 6
conservatory, is like an electric SHOCK
and is as sweet as whipped cream.
The taste of it sort of holds on and
and constantly suggests the propri'
ety-or improperly, as the case may
