There are still occasions, however
rare, when inactivity. much al it has
eLoen into disfavor, continues to be
mastery. When a modest maiden is in
doubt AZ to whether or no she should
kiss or allow herself to be kissed BY
any man not related to her by close
ties Of consanguinity, she best displays
her wisdom by giving herself, not him,
the benefit of the doubt and 20 refrain
ing from OSCILLATION.
An absolutely safe list of men whom
It Is allowable to kiss might be COM
piled from the list given In the Book Of
Common Prayer of persons whom it il
forbidden to marry. There can be no
possible improperly in any womau's
being kissed by her father, grandfather,
brother, uncles, ETC., whenever occa-
don may offer. Still, public opinion 10
much less in favor of kissing than OF
yore, and afectionate greetings are
NO longer considered good form in mar
ket places or what answers for them in
the present generation.
To the prayer book may be added
cousins within the degrees forbidden in
marriage by the Roman Catholic
church, but these In moderation. The
young man cousin who is greedy in the
matter Of kisses from his pretty cousin

Should be denied
And set aside and mortified.
Kisses Of greeting or parting, Of good
night good morning and Of cOngratu-
lation are still general, although by no
meal 90 frequent as they were for
merly. Indeed. kissing II a practice is
much less popular than it once was.
Between doctors and the moralists 1t is

All the same, the man who becomes
engaged to be married. as q usual
thing, expects q kiss from his flancee
to seal the bargain, not for publication,
% to say, but as Q guarantee Of good
faith on her part. II she is willing to
promise to marry him, he reasons, she
ought to be willing to let him kiss her.
Moreover, he desires q kiss or kisses
upon general principles a. something
to which he is entitled by the unwrit-
ten law Of tradition. On the other
hand, the party Of the second part has
herself to consider In the matter. A
woman should be sure Of her own bona
6de intentions of matrimony and dou-
bly, sure Of those of her lover before
she sets such a sign and seal to the
