a Kissing Nation.

Tid-Bits: In no other part of the world
is kissing so much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
Rational salute; indeed, it is more of Il
greeting than a caress.
In public affairs. as in private. the kiss
is an established custom. Fathers and
sons kiss: old generals with rusty mus
taches kiss; whole regiments kiss. The
emperor kisses his officers. On a review
ing day there are almost as many kisses
as shots exchanged. If a liliputian corps
of cadets have earned the imperial APP
prevail. the imperial salute is bestowed
upon the head boy. who passes it on with
a hearty report TO his neighbor, he in his
turn to the next and so on through the
whole juvenile body.
On a holiday or fete day the young and
delicate mistress of a house will not only
kiss all her maid servants, but all her men
servants. too. and if the gentleman does
not venture above her hand. she will stoop
and kiss his cheek.
To judge. also, from the number of sa-
lutes, the matrimonial bond in these high
circles must be one of uninterrupted felic-
ETY. A gentleman scarcely enters or leaves
room without kissing his wife, either
Ter forehead. cheek or hand.
