Anatomy ofaKiss.

1t is thoughtlessly said that man kiss
es woman, but it is not so. 1t may be
set down rs q principle or dogma that
it is always the woman who kisses the
man. On such occasions man acts only
in responsive and not in an initiative
capacity.
To produce kiss only two things are
necessary, and man, except by his mere
presence, has nothing to do with its
origin. The first circumstance is the op-
portunity, and tho second is the desire
existing, though uncxpressed, in the
woman's own heart and mind to be
kissed.
When these conditions are present
there is sure to DO some kissing, for the
woman will in dozen ways that can
not DO defined convey the idea to the
man, and he, if he DO not altogether a
stick, will respond to her will There
fore in all cases Of true kissing it is the
woman who kisses and not the man,
who simply responds to power and
influence that he cannot resist. That
power lies in woman, and if it is not
present there will not be any kissing.
Spare Moments.
