KISSING AS A FAD.

To kiss or not to kiss-is the questio of
the day in Atlanta, Ga. special to the
Baltimore Sun on Thursday said:
Social circles in Atlanta are in stir over
the developments attending the publication
of recent letter from Mrs. Joseph Kings
berry, prominent society woman, who
took as her topic the too great prevalence
of the kissing fad" here.
The question has been veheTneffttIIy5t dis dis
cussed pro and con by the members of up
pertendom and by other people. In chat
on the subject today Mayor G. A. Collier
said,
"As mayor of the city it would probably
not be proper for me to give an official
opinion regarding such question, and one,
too, which the learned men of all great
nations are unable to decide to the satisfac-
tion of all persons. When was young and
everything in my life was sunshine, was
heartily in favor of kissing. OF course, the
girl had to be pretty and the time and place
acceptable. Now that have passed that
period do not feel that should hamper
the rights of Others. kissing is an art, and
both the giver and recei yer should be ex-
perts to secure the proper effect. Seriously
speaking, love should be the judge in ell
such cases"
Mr.. John F. Barclay. a Sunday school
superintendent and well-known business
man, entertains emphatic views against
kissing. He said:
uT do rot bxy orr voaon. ann~ou. lr;..;,..
among young people. As a mark of affec-
tion between brothers and sisters 1 think it
is all right. Outside of this do not ap-
prove it at all When was boy children
were made to kiss whenever they had fall
ing out. My parents often said to me: John,
come and kiss your sister, or, John, come
and kiss your brother.i I don't think young
couples ought to kiss even when they are
engaged. They ought to wait until they
get married. IF had tried to kiss my wife
before was married to her ] would have
been knocked out into the middle of the
street''
Forrest Adair,a well-known society man,
and chairman of the board of county COM
missioners said: ~ deem it I'm fair to form
conclusions from the instances of improper
kissing cited by Mrs. Kingsberry. Evident
ly the leading man in each case was BRAIN
less chump or an awkward tyro; surely he
was not an artist in that line"
Other prominent men, including Superior
Court judges and several ministers, express
diverging views, The controversy is wax
ing hotter.
