THE HOBsON KISSING MANIA.

The extraordinary kissing tour Of
Lieut.. Hobson, with it's record of LOFT
women kissed and kissing in public, is
the subject of an interesting discus
sion. The gracious and universally
esteemed wife OF the president, speak
ing impersonally on the general sub
ject of ovations of kisses to popular,
heroes, expresses what is undoubtedly
the view of refined women everywhere
in saying that anything which tends
to taTnish the feminine character of re-
serve or to lower the high standing
Of womanhood is displeaslng to me- -
Mrs. John w. Foster thinks the news
papers should put stop to the Hobson
osculatory epidemic. Mrs John A
Logan, after a playful protest against
the attempt of anybody to ''wrest lau-
Tels from the late Gen. Sherman-the
only man in the country allowed the
privilege of kissing the girls without
loss of dignity or respect seri-
ously that mo girl or woman who so
far forgets herself as to kiss in this
promiscuous fashion compliments the
man upon whom she lavishes her I'M
solicited caress." Edith NJ Thomas
thinks that in the present case "the
matter seems rather an infraction of
good taste than an offense against
morality" Nine Sembrich charitably
thinks that the women ought perhaps
to be pardoned if excess of patriot
ism leads them into folly" but init
mates that chose who have participant
ed in this kiss-the-hero play will after
a while be heartily ashamed of them
selves" Let us hope so. Meanwhile
the average American man must be
wondering whether these silly girls
and sentimental women had no big
brothers or resolute husbands to pre-
vent their participation in such vul-
gar exhibition If the women were
thoughtless or hysterical or lost to a
sense of modesty, their natural pro-
tectors should have restrained them.
AS to the hero himself, his personal
dignity and good sense ought to have
been sufficient to enable him to avoid
these silly and demoralizfng exhibit
tons Even the laurel leaves that
honored an act of heroism have with
cred in this atmosphere of sickening
sentimentality-Ne York World.
