A MAN's IDEA OF KISSING.
There is nothing in this world quite so
sweet as kissing baby; indeed, its the
only kiss worth having. To see IL submit
to it is beautiful II fixes its sweet. dainty,
perfumey little mouth like an o, and waits
for you to discover just what mouthfui OF
the breath OF Araby you get when you put
your lips to it. A mans idea of a kiss is
very funny. In the first place, he throws
IL as he would baseball-with entirely too
much force. A kiss ought to be memory
in a second, and as delicate as a rose leaf
A mans idea of a KISS is that it ought to
suggest porous plaster. or a postage
stamp. Then, like Scotch whisky, mans
kiss is inclined to be a little smoky. Oh,
no. they've no idea how to kissl The truth
of it is that one should kiss baby in the
mouth. woman friend on the cheek. a
daughter or a son on the forehead-and a
sweetheart, well, let sweetheart kiss you
on the throat or your hair-any place but
on your lips.
THE WOMAN WITH A BANG.
By-the-by. apropos of hair, should like
to say that this IS time when the woman
with bang is most unhappy. She needn't
set her heart on its being beautiful, for it's
as uncertain as Cleveland Democrat The
reason is that it wants TO be a short bang,
permitting some of the forehead to show,
so that the idea that the future mothers of
our country are all idiots will not be con-
veyed to the locker on. Now it is difficult
to make a short bang fluffy, and yet that is
desired, toe. Irons, queer-shaped kid roll
ers, bits of curling paper, all sorts of things
are used to try and make that bang stay as
tr1f and tha racFJlt will
be t. the American woman will rise up
in her might and go through the summer
with an uncurled bang, and look exactly as
if she had escaped from Sing Sing.
THE FUTURE OF THE BANG.
It is not pleasing outlook. But then
there are a great many things that are not
pleasing. It is Just possible that this bang
question may not seem of great importance
to mankind; but assure you thai 1t is, for,
until we women get it fully settled as to
the future of the bang, we will not be in
the best tempers imaginable. and, no mat
ter how upset he may be himself, man
does like a woman to be in good temper.
There are certain things that he elects as
being special prerogatives of hers, and he
desires that the possession of these adjuncts
shall have an outward, visible sign. If she
is half a woman she looks pleasant and does
what he wants, and then he will return the
compliment
WHAT MAN WANTS IN WOMAN.
What does a man want in q womanl
Well, as 1 said before, he wants her to be
in good temper; it makes her more
agreeable company.fo him.
He wants her to be dressed and to act
like lady, for then she is greater
credit to him.
He wants her to be pleasant to any man he
introduces to her, and yet she must manage
to make that man understand that her
heart is true to Poll, and she is only being
polite to him because the dear one wishes
it.
He wants her to like to eat the
dishes that he prefers, for then he can
chuckle and tell people how he has educated
her to being quite gourmet.
He wants her to agree with him about
theology, religion and science, and then he
can applaud himself and think how much
she has gained by associating with such
clever man.
He wants her to do as he likes, dress as
he likes and think as he likes. He's right; |
she's weaker of body and brain than he is, |
my dear friend. The cleverest woman in |
the world likes to BIZ mastered, or else she |
wouldn't be snubbed as she IS by messeu-
ger boy. or frightened by a mouse. The |
man who masters her is the one who gains
her respect. An intimate acquaintance |
with pretty women, clever women, loving |
has forced this knowledge on me.
