every one Of the comfortable hotels
and pensions, you sill find a group OF
all-the-year rounders-people who
stay On from season to season, fixed in
their places by the moderate cost Of
living, the dislike OF change, and the
comforts and conveniences they have
gradually accumulated. Some Of them
are lonely old people, who have no
very close ties. Or have ~quarreled with

THE ART OF KISSING.
An Essay That Reads as Though 1t Had
Been Written BIS a Woman. -

t - -
In the old days when powder and
rouge were indispensable, a gallant
gentleman kissed the hand of his fair
LADY. And her hand was kept i'm
m~aculatc, that his kiss might mean
much to him. Nowadays me don't
stoop to kiss your hand; it would get
their trousers cutof shape. So u clean
face becomes a necessity to q woman
who has any liking for that expression
Of affection which is generally APP
proved o. and seldom well done. The
only kiss worth having, says a writer
On the subject, is that Of d nice baby.
and yet the baby doesn't give it; it
only submits to it, and keeps its sweet.
dainty, perjury little mouth shaped
like an o, as it waits for you to discover
how delightful it is. Mems kisses are
like Scotch whisky-they are apt to be
smoky. Children's kisses are inclined
70 cover ones entire face, but a baby
simply exists and lets you take u
mouthful Of the breath Of Araby. Men
have al idea that their kisses are APP
preciated. They are most immensely
mistaken. The average man gives a
kiss just as he throws a baseball
with too much force. It ought to be
as delicate as a rose leaf. Almost a
memory in a second. 1t need not sug-
gest a postage stamp nor a porous
plaster. One lady says: II could write
d book on kissing, but mankind is 50
determined that ! don't think he'd
take any advice on the subject, and
get, az ii is the wolnen who receive the
kisses, they certainly ought to know
more about them than the great big
