STAGE KISSES ~ FRAycOyIA.

From The London Telegraph.
4 stage kiss is. in the minds Of all but very
hyper-particuar people generally considered TO be
both permissible and harmless and yet Paul
Hevsc "A weil-known German dramatic writer, has
been charged with setting bad example and Civ
ing his audience sort )f general permission to
aba ndon themselves to all kinds OF disorderly
duct because he makes his lover at the very APP
propriate moment of bctrothal say 10 the girl OF
his choice Before these Witnesses as seal OF the
bond | kiss thee, O dearest one, on the mouth"
The objection seems to b" "A prudish, ascettc whim

Whilst putting the engagement ring-a gift from

The author considered the objection so absurd
