Kisses are no good unless they taste well
and are sweet" They also say that kiss
ing a man who has NJ beard Is like kissing
a mud wall"
On the other hand, Prof. Nyrop says that
women, as a rule, dislike to kiss men
whose mouths are moist, and he quotes
the Danish expression. "He is good to kiss,
but only when one is thirsty" and also
the German one, "If you kiss him you'll
get som sauce along with it."
That any harm is done by kissing the
author does not believe, and he brings for
ward much testimony as a proof that he is
right. Thus the Italians say: The mouth
Is not the worse for being kissed" and a
French poet asks: Bah! What are two
kisses? Only two bullets that have missed
the mark" A Norwegian song says: go
hannesen kissed the girl once. twice on
the mouth, and each time she was glad OF
It," According TO a German proverb. THE
place where one has been kissed may be
wiped, but The nrs in the heart cannot be
quenched."
Prof. Nyrop lays stress on the fact that
stolen kisses are the sweetest. The Span
iards say on this point: IF your mo her
seolds you. dear girl, because you have let
a man kiss you. give him his kiss back. and
then she will have TO close her mouth"
Attention is also directed to the young
student who said to a girl. 80 you are
angry because I kissed you? Well. II you
don't like my kiss give It back to me-" The
story is also told Of a Dutch couple who
were engaged, but decided to separate.

he tells the following story: I'm 1887
Thomas Saverland of London complained
that Miss Caroline Newton had bitten a
piece out of his nose while he was trying
to kiss her. Miss Newton admitted that
she had done so, but claimed that she did
not want to be kissed, whereupon the
Judge dismissed the case, saying: When
a man kisses a girl against her will she

on kissing in the world.

POETRY AND PROSE KISSING.

Observations and C~Ogitation of a Col
leEe Professor.
DR.. Christopher Nyrop, professor Of phil
clogy at the University Of Copenhagen, has
just written a curious book which is caus-
ing a good deal Of talk in Europe. 1t is en-
titled History Of kissing and is the fruit
Of long study on this interesting subject,
the author having searched in all possible
quarters for the necessary material.
In defining a kiss he quotes Verlaine, who
says: "A kiss is the accompaniment which
Is played on the keyboard of the teeth when
love sings to an enormous heart" He also
quotes a Latin epigram, which says: What
Is sweeter than wine? The dew of heaven.
And what is sweeter than dew? Honey.
And what is sweeter than honey? Nectar.
And than nectar? A kiss"
About the sound made by a kiss he has
unearthed many curious sayings: Johannes
Jorgensen says: THE beating of the waves
against the shore is like the sound Of long
kisses" Kierkegaard in a story remarks
w heard all the evening a sound as
though someone was striking at flies, yet
1t was only the kisses of the loving couple
Still more unfeeling is the German express
sion; THE kiss sounded as though a COW
was drawing her hind leg out of a bog
and almost as heartless as this is the
Danish phrase: He made more noise when
he kissed than is made when a cows horns
are struck off,"
Prof. Nyrop spent much time trying to
find out how women regard kissing, and be-
came convinced that on one point at least
they all agree-namely, that men with
boards are far preferable to all 9th
ers. In an old Roumanian ballad a hero
says: II am too young to marry, for my
beard has not yet sprouted. What married
woman would kiss me?"
According to a German ~proverb, "A kiss
without a beard is an egg without salt
In Holland and Jutland young women are

tails. A fanciful cuff and small shawl collar
and blue panne and lace lends the color

now demand. Coats of gray and black and

able than those OF ~taffeta, while the tailors
are making up dozens Of short and long
ones in black and self-colored pongee.
Refreshingly simple are the newest wash
dresses made up for girls in all Of the
short-sklrted stages. Mercerized cheviot,
damasked madras and the new French

to material as we'll as Juvenile taste. The
sheeny French %ginghams increase in beauty

II D. Biscuit brown, Hand woven and
Embroidered Ponsee.

Embroidered Pongee
NEW YORK, April 4-Every woman is
dealing More or less earnestly just now
with the question OF her summer silk gown.
The question is whether she shall buy a
moire foulard, an embroidered pongee, a
taffeta crepe or a sheeny figured louisIne.
There is a good word to be said for every
one Of these, and that which adds compli-
cations to the situation Is that the old
fashioned China and India silks have a new
claim upon our attention, and a new soft
French wash fabric called Juno silk is just
as pretty and desirable as any Of the 9TH
ers and far less expensive. or course, for
the pure fashion of the thing a biscuit
brown, hand-woven, embroidered pongee
must be g~ravely considered. II comes done
up in a box, n~eedlework in rich Oriental
designs and colors and very often II shows
q thread OF gold among the beautiful reds
or greens Of the applied designs.
The PonEee Craze.
There is nothing cooler and more durable
than a pongee and 1t positively invites the
use Of all that semi Oriental jewelry, dull
Burmah gold buckles set with cloudy emer-
aids. etc, that possess apparently an mex
haustible popularity. With an eye to the
pongee craze that threatened two months
ago, the milliners have brought out a dozen
different types Of hats made Of this same
material. Som OF them are stitched fe-
doras, some are wlde-brimmed folding
Thames hats and some are elaborate

turbans. Those for travel and rough out
ing service are glorifed by pongee crown
s~carfs. finished with embroidered and
neeply-fringed ends, while the big elaborate
turbans show beautiful embroidery on their
broad, fat crown tops. and where the
masses Of silky folds are lifted on the left
side Of the head punches Of variegated
grapes are set against the hair.
When 1t is a foulard or China silk that
comes under discussion and incorporation
into q gown for useful summer wearing.
embroidered muslin or yellow batiste is
what the d~ressmaker demands as the
decorative associate of either. There is
nothing very new about this, yet It is all
exceedingly pretty fashion and numbers OF
women are having their foulards made up
as coat and skirt, and under the former
they wear various little tucked or embroid-
cred Swiss muslin waists that can be pur-
chased all ready made at the big dry goods
shops. The foulard coat is cut with elbow
long sleeves and a bolero body and just how
this combination can be managed is shown
in the sketch Of a pretty green and white
foulard that went south to one OF the fash
ionable resorts early in the month,

feature is confined, OF course, to those that

A few of these airy. crisp waists. with
