Old SfYle Kissing Bees.

4 novel custom, started in the days
tf the civil war, still prevails in the east
trn part of West Virginia. At Shep-
herdstown they have a picnic called
soups Each person invited brings
dressed chicken, the host providing the
vegetables. Poultry and vegetables are
placed in large kettles holding from ten
to twenty gallons, and the combination
is cooked over open fires for several
hours, or until il is reduced almost to
Jelly. Pepper and other seasonings are
introduced. The girls and young fell
lows stir the soup with long-handled
iron spoons, keeping up a march or walk
around the kettles as they do so.
When girls spoon clicks against the
spoon of young man he is at liberty
to catch and kiss her. OF course, there
are many lively skirmishes and a great
deal of fun in the game. When the soup
is done it is ladled out into plates and
eaten. 1t Is said TO be delicious. The
custom owes its origin to Il company Of
Stonewall Jackson's men who were re-
crufed in that part Of the state. These
ex-confeds keep up their organization.
They have reunion once a year, at
which they celebrate with grand
soup" 1t is said that soup" proper
ly gotten up should be made of stolen
chickens. but the veterans had 10 give
up foraging after the war and make a
compromise by going around in squads
and robbing each others roosts by mu-
tual understanding.
