THE SCIENCE OF KISSING

People will kiss. Yet not one in n
hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips, any more than they
know how to make diamonds out of
charcoal. And yet it is easy, at least
for las. First know whom you are go
ing 10 kiss. Don't make mistake.
although a mistake may be good. Do
not jump up like trout for n fly, and
smnck woman on the neck, or the
chin, or the corner of the forehead, OF
on the end of her nose. The gentle
man should be n little the taller. lie
should have clean face, kind eve.
and a mouth full of expression. Do
not kiss everybody. Don't sit down
To it. stand mp. Need not be anxious
about getting in u crowd. Two per-
sons are plenty To corner AMI catch a
kiss; l. o e pcrsons would spoil the
sport. Take the left hand of the lady
in your right; let your hat go to-any
place out of the way; throw the left
hand gently over the shoulder OF the
lady and let il fall down the right side.
DO Aot be ia hurry. draw her gently.
lovingly, to your heart. Her head will
fall gently on your shoulder, and a
handsome shoulder strap il makes. DO
not be in n hurry. Her left hand is in
your right; let there be an impression
to thar, not like the grip Of "A vice, but
II gentle clasp. full of electricity.
thought and respect. DO not be in n
hurry. Her head lies carelessly on
your shoulder. You nre heart to heart.
Look down into the half-closed eyes
Gently but nanfully, press her TO your
bosom. Stand firm. BE brave. but
don't be in a hurry. Her lips are al-
most open. Lean slightly forward with
your head, not the body. Take good
aim; the lips meet, the eyes close the
heart opens; the soul rides the storms,
sorrows and troubles of life, don't be
in a hurry heaven opens before you
the world shoots under your feet, as a
meteor flashes across the evening sky,
don't be afraidD the heart forgets its
bitterness, and the art of kissing is
learnt! no fuss, no noise, no fiuttering
and squirming like hook impaled worm.
Kissing don't hurt, nor does 1t require
an act of congress to make it legal.
