Mary Atbon's Hug.


1T. Paul 1"le
Mary has got the art of hugging down
t. a very fine point. Up Ito within the past
two years She had mechanical way 81
Thriving her arms around her lover much
.s, windmill would reach out in it, slow
whirl and swoop up an rnprndent oh
server who had carelessly gotten within the
reach of It's swoop, or as tall trees in the
,uonih OF January catch at each other with
their long. gaunt arms as though they were
,nshed to ali odou, duty by some resist
less obligation. But il is different now.
Mary hugs a. natural a. AN unsophisticsied
country maiden would fold her arms round
The object of her guileless hears tenderest
love. There is no Greco Roman style or
,rmsl,ny,h feature about it as represented
last night, hut a warm. ardent. clinging
rib-hreaking, misunderstanding. never
Ie,-lm,se squeeze that has Il tendency to
make the siiiney headed occupants Of the
front parquct rows get up and sit on the
hack of their seats. When Mary throws
i.cr arms open and closes them around the
..i.iea of her alteration, it looks like
white Whirlpool of bliss. into whose vortex
any animated object from an automatic
sh,irii to a ruler of nations would d" pen
,,,r ior lifetime to be drowned tor one
short. sweet. blissful minute. Her hug is
graiilyingly barren of emateurishness it Is
a thing OF life. beauty, grandeur. an admir-
able creation that any man would he will
ing to lose his scalp to stand in with. And
then when the tapering arms are well around
their victim, the fingers are interlocked and
spasn,odic sqleezes are apparent, that put
wild fancies Of divorce and Paris green into
the minds Of husbands and fathers. 1t is a
stinnulant for the aged and intirm 1t Is n
sea of unfathoma5le bliss that the middle
aged long TO drink to the last drop, and it
is thing that fills the hearts of the youths
with wild AMI untamed hankering. 1t is
cylone of happiness that amy man would
be happy to allow himself to be caue,h up
by and u,opled all over the ground with.
from Honolulu to Uppernavik.
Mary carries kiss around with her
which is so light and imnaterial that she
stands in no danger of having to pay excess
OF baggage on it. II is sort of u twinkle,
twinkle little STAR arrangement. that leads
every woman who has loved to wonder
what it is 1t is kind of reserved affair
such as every married woman has, and trot'
ous along the last Of October. and Uses Il
induce her husband to blow himself in Or
u seal skin sacque. II is an emergency
A cold, cleeiless, claniny compound o
Gurelessriess aud Indifference. "a thing that
man would prefer to receive on the back o
his he ID or the bosom OF his shirt. |
''sunacks" not of ardor and affection 1
has no soul 1t comes and goes. leaving
no trace Of It's presence, exciting no sym
pathy, receiving no pity. 1t is Il farce with
out the spirit of humor and devoid tn
tint Of patl,os. II is a sterile waste. Coli
and barren as North sea iceberg, unteel
ing. hear,Iess.
Mary should learn tn kiss and kiss accord
ing to H.'yle. Kiss that so after the dea
she would leave u royal flush on the cheel
of the kissee II Mary would pay littl
attention to kissing she could cultivate al
article that would cause the footiights T.
pale with envy and make the stage carpen
ter pound his ear ON his tool chest will
admiration. She is built right to Hiss will
stunning effect. Her lips are full and red
her neck is swan-like: she could approach
man from the rear lean over his shoulder
look down through his eyes into his bouts
glue her lips to his, draw in her breath
compress her lips for an instant then sud
denly part them-bif! bang. and every
body would shut their eyes and yell fu
somebody to turn the hose on them. Unit
Mary goes into training to improve til
condition OF her kiss there will he sons
thing lacking in her acting that cannot b
entirely buried beneath the multitude /,
her charming accomplishments.
