KISSED ALL MALE COMEHS,
How Presbyterian Girls Made a
Church Fair a Success.

Church Fair a Success.
Methodist circles of MatlitucI
are Mortified beyonl expression
and a Presbyterian fair is the cause
of it. The Presbyterians think
the dethodists are jealous because
OF the success of the fair, ANY
way, there is con5i lerable cloi,
ness between the fncks, AMI the
subject may form the text of ser,
mon next Sunday morning.
The w0men's sewing society o!
the Presbyterian church gave a
fair. They wanted money to buy
goods to he mad up ut the SEWN ,
bees for the poor peop,e next win :
ter. The sewing circles in Matti-
tuck are not bit given to gossip
and the minding of otner peoples
business. They open and close
with prayer, and the doxology and
few hymns are sung to while away
the time. TO make the lair sue
cess and draw money into the treas
ury it was necessary 10 have one
or two novelties, and the women
racked their brains t. devise
something. "Now," said bru-
nette in her teens, ''if it wouldn't
be too awtully naughty, and some
of the other girls would join me and
kiss the men for u quarter piece,
l know we would make money"
Some OF the OH maids hid their
faces in their aprons. FOO shocking
to think of, you know. The nice
girls who are not hampered with
STEADY beaux, thought it Just the
thing, but they did not want to
kiss before everybody. "Well,
no" said the oldest of the spinsters
that would ruin trade, for every
body would want to watch the pro,
ceedings and nobody would buy
ice cream" The girls willing to
do all the kissing that would be
demanded Of them, it Was decided
to erect tent for their secIusion. |
Sure enough, the oslulatory priv,
lege proved the drawing card. |
some girl who was not asked to
pout her pretty lips gave it away |
to her Sunday beau and made him
promise to tell all the young men
but not to drops quarter in the
slot. In little while all the boys |
were let into tn. secret. The nice |
young men with their hair rartcd |
in the middle and wearing sashes
at the shady Point house caught
on and mustered torce at the
fair. They were to he kissed, and
the gentlemen embraced the op

To Kiss the Baby
Twenty-Five Cents.
The youngest Of the bahi was

they really did look younger. So
many paid FIVE cents to see the
sight that in little while the
whole assemblage Was packed in
the tent and the infants garments
and ice>cream had no buyers An
internlission had to be taken to
give this branch OF the business a
boom. 1t fairly rained money IN
the kissing ten. Every mnn there
Was dropping silver pieces as fast
as the movement of the line would |
let him, and they were all repeat
ers. The exercise went on until |
the babies retired through sheer
exhaustion. The men were so de-
lighted they would have kept it up
until this time ii nature and the
cash had held out. Or the 5000
accruing from the fair SlG0 was
credited to the kissing tent. 1t Is
sad to relate that the prrtliest Of
all the girls was engaged to he
married, but her lover was out OF
the village, and, as she could not
consult him in the matter, she took
it tor granted he would not get
mad at her for kissing for charity,

and his parents being MethodlsLs
made it worse. The engagement
