Vile Kissing.
Kansas City is all torn up over the
| question whether a man may kiss his
wife In public, and if SO, under just
what circumstances. 1t appears that
a prominent physician of that city
kissed his wife at the theatre, and the
management, fearing the influence of
such an example. had him taken out
kof the building by aePoliesman.2sAs a
result the whole subject has come up
as one of vital Importance, and there
is a great uncertainty as to the
decision.
Public opinion in Kansas City seems
to ,Nindicate the manager of the
theatre in his action, but insists that
it must not be carried too far. 1t is
held that there are certain circum-
| stances under which a man may prop
erly kiss his wife in public, but the
line has not yet been drawn. The
subject has excited the attention of
| other cities, which freely offer Kansas
City advice as to the proper limit.
Chicagoans think a man may kiss
his wife in a railway car without over
| stepping the proprieties, but should
not kiss her when parting at putting
her on a street car In Denver this is
| considered a very narrow limitation,
although it is agreed that it must not
be done in a theatre. In that city
public opinion sustains o man in kiss
ing his wife anywhere except at
| church, the theatre, or in a store.
There is no limit placed or the exer-
else of this cOnjugal practice or the
street.
st. Paul. however, looks unkindly

man kissing his wife anywhere in pub

front door step if it is growing dusk.
In strong contrast to this is thereon
sensus of opinion in Bismarck, now
putting on airs as a state capital, that
a man can kiss his wife Whenever he
pleases, so long IS he doesn't kiss any
other mans wife, This is the limit of
liberalism and showsthe freedom from
conventional restraints that abounds
on the far Western prairies.
So far as Philadelphia is concerned,
this is not likely to become a burning
issue. Philadelphians are not given
to kissing their wives under any cir

which will be embarrassing TO either
