THEY SHUN KISSING.
Society of Men and Women Who Are
Pledged Not to Kiss
Anybody.

Some American ladies and gentle
taste for kissing that they have band
ed themselves into an association with
the pleasing title of the Anti-Oscula-
ton society, says Cassels Journal. .
The members are pledged not to kiss
anybody. The lady members (they
are mostly ladies' must not kiss each
other, or even their nearest relatives.
People who are or have been much
given to kissing are preferred as mem-
bers-so that they can be reformed"
One of the members-a middle-aged
man-claims that he has never in all
his life given or received kiss. He
is naturally the pride and glory of the
strange society.
1t is worthy of note that the lady
members are not taking precautions
against nonexistent dangers; that is
to say, some of them are both young
and charming 1t is, indeed, question
whether the fact of their being pledged
against kissing would not offer a new
and Irresistible temptation to un-
scrupulous young men. One is remind
ed of the story of the old topper who
donned the blue ribbon in order that
he might be tempted with offers Of
drink. Certainly a cynic might sug-
gest that some idea of this sort is at
the root of the anti-kissing movement
so far as girls are concerned.

AMERICAN STUDENTS ABROAD.
All the German Universities Are
ThrOnged with Young Men from
the United States.

american students are beginning
to invade the smaller universities Of
Germany. 1t is not only in Berlin
and Leipsic and Munich that they
are at work. Latterly the small
town-of Wurzburg in Bavaria has re-
ceived a considerable consignment Of
students from the states, where they
are engaged in studying chemistry
and various branches of philosophy,
chiefly mental. Marburg is another
small university near the Rhine.
Here it is not philosophy, but the
ology, which attracts American stu
dents. They work in Marburg before
coming along to Berlin to hear the
great liberal theologian, Prof. Adolf
Harnack. Another university which
was not visited by Americans in any
number until this year is Glessen,
near Frankfort. As in Marburg, so
there, the students go for theology.
The number attending classes in Ber-
lin and Leipsic increases from year
to year In Berlin American stu
dents are in all departments, but
chiefly in philosophy, theology and
philology.

says: "Miss Parkinson's singing ol
Lakme is a thing to be remembered
something that will live in the
memories of all those who were for
tunate enough to hear her. Hell
voice is OF the greatest sweetness
tipxibility and trueness. Hers, more

Torrance was indeed a great success

beautiful voice, is strikingly fair o

The social given by the Epwortl
League of the Methodist church
south at the elegant cottage home o.

feet success. Music was furnished by

Epworth League desire to express
their thanks to the host and hostess
