testants.
Miss Maud Hollins of the Jefferson de
Angels Opera company. sings song en-
titled 1.-THE Kiss" in the comic opera,
THE Jolly Musketeer." The writer Of
the opera has only supplied two verses,
and nightly the singer is obliged, on ac-
count of the numerous encores, to re-
peat the same verse over and over again
She has written to the G 0 b that she
will pay $40 to anyone who will supply
her an additional verse. The G b has
invited its readers to compete. Already
hundreds of verses have been submitted.
The best verse will be sung when the
opera is presented at the Metropolitan
Sunday night, Nov 8, and the next best
verses will be sung in succession.
The first verse Of Miss Hollins' song is:
There are many kinds of kisses,
Each moustache has it's thrill:
A fool is she who misses
The kind that fills the bill.
Oscillation is a pleasure
Which gives to life it's Zest,
And the man love forever
Is the onelt that kisses best.
A young woman on Conway street.-the
song editor has not seen her. but her
chirograpily. as we'll as her sentiment,
indicates youth and enthusiasm, sends
this stanza ica l1a
He must be very handsome,
Like that man sitting there.
With qualities like Hobson
Fer kissing-do, his share.
But one thing more is needed,
And that is-dont you see
To have LIES bliss completed
He must kiss only me-
One of the latest additions to the
contestants is a Madelia. Mimi. business
man. lie writes-1or Miss 4ioIIins, re-
member:
There are kissers short and kissers tall
OF various degree,
But the luckiest kisser of them all
Is the one that kisses me.
And If. my gallant hearers
Of this fact you've any doubt
Why. all I've got to say is
Just try it and find out.
For fear that Maud might not dare to
sing this with lot of horrid men in
the front row, he offers this one as an
alternative:
Some girls delight to kiss pug dogs.
While others some pet cat,
But as for me, | much prefer
Another kind than that
Oh, Give to me the man VINO knows
Exactly how to kiss
And I shall ask for nothing else,
I'm satisfied with this.
That isn't quite 8 bold an Invitation to
the rank and file but SIGNIFIES for Miss
Hollins a requirement for expert atten-
tons which appeals to some self-cona-
denee in the audience. or Individual men,

A North Branch woman writes
There are many kinds of kisses.
And we gils all want our fill

Kisses are thrilling pleasure.
There's nothing to compete.
To life they give a flavor
That's very hard to beat
There are lots and lots of kisses.
(Stolen ones the sweetest make).

Is the one that takes the cake.
