other in public places Now, here is an instance
where circumstances alter cases. As a rule we
should say, no; as an exception to the rule,
yes.
For instance, you have a near and dear
friend whom you have not seen for long time,
when suddenly you meet on the street. at a
public hall, or you are going out Of church.
Naturally you would be pardoned if, in your
great JOY at meeting you should draw her to
you and give her welcome kiss But should
you the next day meet that same friend III the
same place, much as you would like to kiss
her over again, you would refrain from doing
So giving her, instead, warm pressure of the
hand, and perhaps say: Just think / kiss you,
since / am so glad you are home again"
The reason for all this is not that in kissing
your friend there is any improperly in the
act itself but that by this demonstration of
affection you excite undue attention and make
yourselves the subject of silly remarks. Real
ladies in their public and private intercourse
with one another are never boisterous in their
manifestations of regard. There are so many
ways of expressing fondness for friend with
out greeting her with noisy eXclamations and
9 ringing smack, and so many attentions that
are more grateful and complimentary, that 1t is
difficult TO understand why so many ladies
parade their attachments so much IN public.
Another objection to a lady greeting her lady
friends with a kiss, even in her own house, Is
that she very soon finds herself turning what
should be a special mark of regard into uni
versal matter of course. Two friends enter at
the same time-one an intimate friend, the
other casual acquaintance The intimate
friend is kissed, and from the feeling that the
casual acquaintance would feel herself sighted
she is kissed also. Some ladies, indeed, carry
4 this kissing habit to such length that they
kiss ali the lady acquaintance they may
visit, or who may visit them, some Of them
with many tinge Of doubt, it may be, lest
they may not be exactly worthy such mark of
friendly endearment Often the kiss given
in return is a veritable Judas kiss-bitter upon
the lips which receives it.
The best advice in all cases is to spare your
kisses, even TO friends, when by giving them
you make yourselves unpleasantly conspicuous
and to break as early as possible the schoolgirl
habit of kissing your associates indiscrimi-
nately, independent of real likes and dislikes,
which, although they may not be traceable
TO any well-defined cause, have yet basis for
their existence which ought not TO be entirely
! ignored. Meet your friends with warm clasp
Of the hand, but hoard your kisses for the high
est manifestations of love and respect, JOY and
! confidence.
