From the Detroit Free Press.
II there are degrees IN kissing there is
also an art in the kiss. IL is not every one
that eau kiss properly The kiss is born
not made. He may achieve greatness in
bis particular line, but it is must be done
according to artistic rules. There are some
who could not kiss if they were to spend
their whole lives in attempting 10 master
the art. Grant II that most women ike TO
kiss ID be kissed 1t IS a part of their ma
tire, just as it is the nature Of birds 70 sing
aud owls TO blink. A d if they cannot
kiss a bewhiskered face tuey arc
satisfied with q smooth one. And if the
5 no0tn one is the face Of ons of their own
klnd the kiss counts just the same. But
they certainly do object TO being kissed
brutallT. By this | mean indelicstely,
forcibly, burglariously, furi0usiy, Inucu-
larly. No woman wants to be bounced up
oa Tor a kiss as falcon seiZss upon It's vic
TIM Or cat pOunces upon an unfortunate
Ino1sa. A Kiss TO be eniOyable must be
artistic There should be the promo litory
warning, the Irefui and delightful preosr /
ton. WHAT W rid OF exquisite enotio
there Is IN this! The arm getty encIrcing
the waist and pressing the qIIVe ing form
with tender and deep sea moaning. Then
comes the next st age. the placing of the
finger tips on the rounded cheek and it
succeeding slight elevation. With this the
lips of the fair one automatically pucker
aad the eyes close as if il the intoxicauon
of the delirium that it is so near Then toe
realization. Heaven preserve us. The APP
plicatlOn of the four lips In gentl des-
perate, fully realizing the-impo
the-sitlatlon and soul-stIrring style, come,
the climax, the real S .ui of the kiss, its
inner consciousness, its very living essence.
This cannot be described, because it varies
with the individual. With SONS there
comes at the instant a loag, drawn out,
symmetrical, aad sugges i've sound, some
thing like the drawing of bow over ie
mute string Of a violin. With others there
Is the gurgling sound, which carries the idea
that Tue pair are Iii the last Stagss Of poig
| nant frenzy. Last and best Of all the game
IS the very choicest XII of a kiss-the ki,s
accompa lied by the velvety, adhesive sou id
that plainly SAYS, NOW we have go5 VIII t
we wa 1t and would like to stay Jrever.n
Go 'dness gracious! 1t sets 10 all over IN
Utilization, or INSTRUMENTATION, as on
please, just to think of it,
Kiss, to he thoroughly appreciated and
enjoyed, should clus every nerve center in
the physical organism to dance rio .uusly in
series Of ira Esp rts Such kisses 60 to the
very roots of ones being. They are neve
forgotten. Even III tAe throe5 Of final dis
solution, | imagine that the memory of
the sweet XII ses of lifetime steal over one
like the recollection of sJmeth tina is
too lovely TO be perishable, but which, like
ali else in this world, must be sacrificed to
the inevitable. a kiss that is conceived i'll
the pure fancy and executed with proper
refinement and intelligence, accompanied
by the necessary sentiment, ought to live
| forever
Heaven preserve me- however, from the
| perfunctory kiss of two women There is
something about kiss of the kind that is
as dismal as g desert OF Sahara. The e
is not even one oasis in it to mark the
dreary waste. 1t is worss than melody
measured out with va dstick or poetry
doled OUT by the quart. There is no insoir-
alton about it-no Q whatever of any kind.
| What a dull, sodIen affair is the face of a
pretty girl! How the same pretty face be-
| comes Illuminated with the ire of the soul
when it is kissed by-well. perhap, this is
| getting to be an over-delicate ma ter and
something ought to be left to tine imagi a
ton Of the reader. However, taere is no
rhapsody in the kiss exchanged by two
girls or two women, 1t is as uninviting as
the fields in winter
