KISSING
Oscillation No Longer tho Fashionable
Thing Il Once Was.

Kissing is out Of style. Nobody does it
now but sw~eethearts, young children, and
teachers. The first blow was struck by
the medical profession about the time OF
the decease of Princess Alice. Ever since
the practice has been denounced. and in
families where proper respect Is paid to
hygiene children arc strongly cautioned
against promiscuous kissing.
In society a woman is not kissed twice
in a season. When nm old friend is greeted
and she advances with her lips the victim
turns her face and the caress falls askance.
Possibly, the very woman who is opposed
to the practice takes the initiative. but her
lips never meet lips. She may kiss within
n fraction of your mouth-kiss your chin,
your cheek or your forehead; kiss your
''eyelid into reposc," or kiss your hair
but if she has had any training socially
she will never kiss your mouth
The repugnance TO kissing is due largely
TO academic training. In nearly all the
famous colleges for women there is a spe-
cial teacher or doctress in physiology, and
in the so-called oral recitations the PERM
cious effects of oscularion are considered
at great length. By way Of tolerating
what seems TO be a necessary evil various
theories are advanced and various provi-
sions advocated. The girl who comes
from Smith College, Northampton. kisses
on the oblique lines that fall from the left
corner of your mouth, but when kissed is
so adroit in the way she jerks her head
that the point Of salutation may be found
on a radius from the right Of her demure
little mouth. The Vassar graduate kisses
more than her Smith College friend, but
the chin is her choice. as you will observe
in an attempt TO salu'e her. The seniors
from Wellesley press their kisses high up
on the face. almost under the sweep Of the
eyelash, and the Lake Forest and Harvard
Annex maidens kiss at a point equally dis
tant from the nose and ear.
Nothing is more dainty than the kiss OF
q we'll bred chaperon, who, mindful Of
the time and trouble spent over the powder
box, gently presses her lips or your hair
just north of your ear. The ministers
wife is another sweet soul, who knows
where a kiss will do the least harm. and
her favorite method is an air kiss, with the
gentle pressure of her cheek to your cheek.
The of fashion, who patronizes
you and lets you visit her while she is at
her sicsta, kisses you anywhere about the
triangle between the eye, ear, and hair
line. She learned long ago about the
incompatibility of haste and grace, and as
she advances you see her lips turn in, and
simultaneously with the kiss Is a thick
viscous noise that sounds like the tearing
of a middle.aged marshmallow drop.

AFEE OF SIX MILLION DOLLARS.
How Lawyer witiams' Legal Claim of
$1,000 Made Him n millionaire.


A young gentleman Of prepossessing APP
pearance, who is well known in Louisville
society is Mr.. Sherrod Williams. "A wealthy
Californian. His father, Thomas III. Viii
liams, was a native of Wayne county, Ken
lucky. who went TO California in lS49.
The elder Williams settled Virginia City,
where he was, after a few years. elected TO
the office of Prosecuting Attorney. Mr..
Williams was ret"' as the general at
torney for a large mining company whose
headquarters were at Virginia City. This
company became very heavily involved
and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Mr..
Williams learned its condition. and, as he
had a claim of 81, 500 against the com
pany for legal services. he brought suit
and attached its property His attachment
made him a preferred creditor, and when
the property of the company, consisting
solely of its mines, was sold, Mr.. Williams
purchased it, bidding no more than the
amount Of his judgment. He secured a
perfect title to the pro- erty, but made no
attempt to develop or dispose Of it.
Years passed away, and Mr.. Williams
had been elected to the office of Attorney
General of California. One day he was
approached by IA representative of Flood,
Mackay & O'BrieD. and asked if he was
not the owner Of certain mining property
near Virginia City.
Il am" said Mr.. Williams.
do you wish TO sell it?' inquired the
agent.
Il do not" was the reply.
will you take 800, 900 tor III"
Il will not" returned Mr.. Williams. who
knew the difference between u cowboy
and a cartwheel.
Il will give you $3.50. OOO." said the
agent.
THE property is not for sale" said Mr..
Williams.
The agent left, but the next day he
came back and offered Mr.. Williams
$500, 900 for the property. The offer was
declined.
The negotiations were then taken up by
a member of the firm of Flood, Mackay i
O'Brien. AS a result, Mr.. Williams put
his property into the firm, taking in turn
q big block of stock. That stock began
to fly like a kite. About the time it was
at its highest Mr.. Williams sent for hi:
partners and told them he was going &c
sell his shares.
If you want them" said he. you can
take them at the regular market quota
tons" They wanted them and they took
them. When the stock had been trans.
ferred, the firm of Flood. Mackay &
O'Brien gave Mr.. Williams q check foI
&c, 000, 900. He had waited a good while
to collect his attorneys fee from the in.
solvent mining company. but when it die

1t was by very considerable odds the
largest fee ever realized by an attorney in
the history Of this country.

10 have the proposed ceremony indefinitely
postponed on account of their illness. IL
Is no wonder that many young ladies be

for special occasions. This is only n part
of the outfit, for undergarments, household
linen, and the thousand and one etceteraS
must be prepared.
As the fall is the rushing season in the
marriage mart, it is well to recall one or
two interesting supcrstitions that were re-
~ligiously noted in the time of our grand.
mothers. In the first place. according &c
an ancient and reliable chronicle, there are
thirty-two days in the year that are
especially unlucky for marriages and
journeys. They are as follows: Jan. l., 2
4, 3, Z. 10, and 10; Feb. 6. Z. and Is.
March /, 6, and s; April 6 and IL; May 3
6, and Z; June Z and 10; July D and 10
Aug. Is and 10; Sept. g and Z; Oct. z
Nov. Is and l6; and Dec. 10, 16, and II
Everybody knows that Friday is the mos
unlucky day for a wedding. while
Wednesday and Thursday are The
luckiest. Our ~grandmothers believed
that it was a most unfortunate thing if tn,
bride, after finishing her toilet and leaving
her looking-glass, should turn around
again for a last glance at herself. 1t wa!
also bad for her to see the man she was
about to marry after dressing and before
the time had come for the ceremony.
