HOW THE DEAR GIRLS KISS.
Kisses S,ceet aud Kisses Rare From,
Girls ITith Raren or Reddish HAIR.

The question of kisses rare and kisses
sweet; kisses dear, kisses cheap, is being
agitated to some extent in this country at
present. am fairly well along in years,
you know, and being an old maid have
had something Of an opportunity to
gather in from my many friends, statis-
tics on the style of kissing INDUCED in by
girls in different sections of the country.
For
Though ma may say no
Aud pa may say go,
They'll all do it, you know
And why shouldn't they? Tam not SO
old myself, or my once rosy lips so dry
and wrinkled, but what | can enjoy, not
lovers kiss, the horrid things, but
gentle, brotherly kiss, delivered in the
style adopted by brothers in general.
But then I'm old, you know, and there is
no accounting for taste in old age, 50 /
found no fault with my younger sisters,
who find bliss unalloyed and rapture
complete in the lingering kiss pressed up
on their ever waiting lips by the one they
hold most dear, as with a fervent EN-.
brace he whispers in their anxious ear
the tell-tale words, so dear 10 all maiden
ly hearts. 81 love YOU" But there, I'm
wandering from the subject. IT, you live
in any of the places mentioned below, and
! YOU are a maiden fair of less than twen-
", and | haven't given your style correct,
I'll make any correction you may see fit
to mail me. That's fair n isn't it?
The Kablctown girl bows her stately head,
And fixes her stylish lips
I'm firm sweet way. and lets them 80
In spasmodic little snIps.
/ The Shepherdstown girl removes her specs
! And ireezeth her face with a smile
And she sticks out her lips like an open book,
Aud cheweth her gum meanwhile.
The Leetown girl SAYS never a word,
And you'd think she was rather tame,
With her practical views of the matter in hand.
But she gets there just the same.
The Summit Point girl the pride Of the world,
In her clinging and soulful way.
Absorbs it all with yearnlully yearn
As big as a bale of hay.
The Middeway girl gets grip on herself
As she carefully takes her hat;
Then she grabs up the prize in frenzed way
Like a terrier shaking rat.
The Bolivar girl. so gentle and fond,
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss.
With rapturous warmth, and the youthful
souls
Float away on n sea Of bliss.
We have sunsthe song Of the girls who kiss,
And il sets ones brains IN a whirl,
But to reach the height of earthly bliss
You must kiss a Charlestown girl.
With your arm around her waist, her face up
turned,
In a sweety confling way,
| You care not 4 cent for the whole wide world,
Though the wind though your whiskers play
And closer together your lips do draw
Till they meet In rapiurOus glow
And the small boy hidden behind the fence

the trade for some weeks; but the curl was
not known even by his agents, so the secret
was well kept and every one was on the tip
toe of expectation regarding II. The gen
eral shape and character of the hat is in ac-
cordance with the times, and happily has no
peculiar features that tend towards old
stock. 1t is made in four depths: SIX
1151sS; 52!xl%-1sl-I5s; 6x1l4-11s-22}s; 6liDx
1872 2k2la. If this feature of using but
few blocks with many widths of brims was
adopted by retail hatters generally, they
would suit their customers just as well and
avoid the old stock that multitude of
STYLES entails.
Outside of these leading styles there is
but little new IN the trade Some prominent
introducers of style have put forth derby
hat with fiat-set brim and tlat-pressed curl,
known as the Boston. IL Is about time this
curl came in again, and it may take. 1t al
ways makes nobby hat, particularly for
young men and youths There is nothing
distinctive IL colors, all the fancy shades
being of the hight brown order. Pearls are
nowhere, but shrewd judges prophesy that
another season will bring them out again.
The light browns have become so common
that they have lost their individuality. and
a handsome pearl hat on a well-dressed man
would at once excite attention as some
thing new. Pearl was always popular and
becoming color, and no doubt some enter
prising halter will take the initiative in its
Introduction next year.

tion."
What will be the result do You think?"
'Some of the results are palpable now
The old sleight-of-hand man has almost
passed away. The wonderful cabinet of
spirits, which at one time astonished the
world, it has been proven, was nothing
more nor less than trick in which con-
federates participated. Heller, Houdin,
and the Davenport brothers were all ex-
posed. What Is left for the professionals
TO do Is the question. They can not all
turn sword-swallowers. or knife-throwers
because that requires a lifetime of prac-
tIce. Some new departure will have to be
taken in which the cabinet does not ap-
pear, and the tricks of Houdin and Heller
are omitted. This is essentially the aga
OF realism, and therefore the tricks in iug-
glery viii have to far exceed in clever
ness any that we have ever seen produced.
When wizard has stage of his own he

ferrous about them, since their tricks de-
pend altogether on their personal agility
and years of constant practice All of the
tricks and juggIery of the present day
must give way. 1t no longer entertains.
