What Ia a kiss worth7 Isabella Jean
Of Brooklyn snys that Philip Finn
kissed her against her will, and She
puts the value at sl0,0 Oo. Juries differ
on this important point. In Troy, O.,
a jury gave u young woman $500 for
one kiss. In Garrett county, Md, an
nnattractivc spinster got So, 600 for q
ks, on the remark from the judge that
anybody .'who would kiss n woman
like That ought to pay heavy Tor his
FOOLS hncss." In New Brunswick a kiss
forcibly taken was valued by q jury at
s4.e90.99 {. And so it goes. But no
women vet has reached the $40, 900
limit. Miss Finn has entirely too good
un opinion of herself.

10 the music furnished for the occasion.
Tho punch IL really tue best part of the
entertainment, not even excepting the
society, which is supposed to be very
