willful resignation to the act is a sci

America have control. All your Amer
lean kissers do their kissing impulsively
and without considering the great adj
vantage and ethereal pleasure to be
found in calm, cool deliberation and
generalization. My wife, who is a ma
tive of France. and who was reputed to
be the most graceful kisser in Paris,
gave a young man his first lesson in
kissing the other day. and when the or
deal was over she nearly tainted. The
poor fellow grabbed her in his arms
and squeezed her almost to death, kiss

you. Then look her straight in the
eyes for half minute. bend your head
down slowly and prepare for action.
Don't puckerup your lips. Allow them
to remain in natural repose. Don't

were going to knock her teeth out.
