WHERE KISSING is UNKNOWN.
How People of Different Lands Ex
press Feelings of Endearment.

HOW People OF DlIISTcHI EdHuS GN-
press Feelings of Endearment.
A caress, kiss, kindly touch are
supposed to be signs of love every
where, while frown expresses dis
pleasure. A study of the psychology
of peoples shows that the kiss is
only one expression of affection.
There are places where kissing is I'M
known, this mode of expression be-
ing only supplemented by caressing
with the hand, the nose, the tongue,
clapping of hands and various en-
braces.
Western civilization holds the kiss
as the kindest expression of endear-
ment. Paolo Mantegazza, the great
Italian psychologist, says: Fear, re-
ligion, interest, space and time may
separate lovers, but the kiss they
have exchanged will hold them to-
gether." For all this Darwin assures
us that kissing is unknown among
the Malays, the jewellers of the
Friendly Isles, the Andamans, Fue-
gians, the Taitians, Papuans, Austral-
ians and the Somals of Africa.
The Malays express their feeling of
endearment by touching noses. They
say much tenderness is expressed by
bringing the noses in contact. They
believe it is by the nose we breathe,
and the bringing of the noses in con-
tact has the same influence on the
soul A traveller told them to kiss
with their lips, but they said: mo,
no, the soul is not in the mouth"
The Andaman islanders also refuse
to hear of the joys of kissing. They
rub noses occasionally, but it is Gus
tomary for friends to greet each other
with the eye. When husband Is
away and returns home, he shows his
joy by sitting with his arms about his
wife's neck, and they weep and howl
as If a great sorrow had befallen
them. Suddenly, by some unexplain-
able reason, their grief turns to JOY
The man then calls on his other rela-
tives and goes through similar per-
formance.
African husbands never kiss their
wives. They would consider this a
too familiar expression of devotion.
A Mandigo wife meeting her husband
who has just returned home throws
herself on the ground as a token of
greeting In Loango the women
kneel, and as they rise they clap
their hands.
The Dahomians greet their hus-
bands with wonderful dignity; they
PROSTATE themselves, throw sand on
their heads and never think of rising
until their husbands make the COM
mand. The Tongans are more siren
uous in their expression; they tear
their hair, and even beat their
breasts.
But the New Zealanders prefer to
believe that the soul has it's nearest
approach to another soul through the
nose. After long absence the hus-
band gives vent to his joy in the
tangi-a bitter crying and moaning
spell which transforms itself grad
ually into merry laugh. In Poly
nesia, when husband becomes DEM
onstrative, he strokes his wife's face
with his hand or foot. The Austral-
ian holds his wife by the neck and
pats her on the back.

TINSEL PICTURES.

Tinsel pictures are among the cur
ious and interesting works of art now
being uneathed by the thousands OF
searchers for antiques. The woman
who is fortunate enough to have had
some of the possessions of her ances-
tors handed down from the beginning
of the last century will find these
pictures, with others in which the
figures are formed from hair framed
in funny old holdings built from
acorn or tiny opalescet shells.
The tinsel picture is really quaint.
with glittering spots of tinsel, while
the garments of the personages figuT-
ing therein are treated to insertions
of silk and satin, together with adorn-
ments of lace and metallic thread
A clever young woman in England
has recently revived this art, and her
work is even finer than that seen in
the very old pictures. She employs
genuine old prints for her back
grounds while the gorgeous raiments
Of the figures are embroidered and in
set with every conceivable form OF
silk, brocade, lace, net, velvet, cloth
of metal, and even ivory and real
jewels, the old-fashioned costumes al.
lowing any amount of elaboration.
Several of her pictures have been
brought over by American tourists.
Copies of the old masters, such as
Van Dyck and Holbein, and prints Of
famous early actresses, furnish many
of her backgrounds, though curious
fashion plates of the 1880 period pre-
sent wonderful possibilities in this
delicate but effective art work.
Among the oldest engravings is one
dated 1910, which shows the mayoress
of London in calling costume. The
background is left undecorated save
for wash of water color on the
stiff "Noah's Ark" trees. The mayor
ess, however, is arrayed in dead rose
silk over green, her brown and gold
bodice being practically concealed by
lace tippet and her head adorned by
silken hat.
An 1880 print shows Mrs. Andrew
Jackson in hoped skirt and volumin-
GUS sleeves. The double-founced skirt
of pink silk has front panel of satin
brocaded in. pink velvet roses, and
each f1ounce is edged with gold thread
in leaf design. Over these fiounces,
but not covering the panel, is an all
lace skirt of fine Brussels net finish
ed with wide lace edging. This net
also covers the pink silk sleeves and
bodice, and forms a deep circular
bertha edged with gold thread about
the square low neck. The big picture
bonnet is built of Brussels lace edg.
ing, trimmed with tiny green and pink
flowers and wee satin bows tied under
the chin with green satin streamers.
Considering that these prints are u.s.
ually not over 16 inches in length,
their decoration is work of infinite
detail and marvellous delicacy.-

CONVENIENCES FOR HOUSE
WIVES

Now is the time Of year when new
contrivances appear for the benefit
of the housewife who dotes on fruits
in season. In almost every house
hold fresh fruits are on the menu,
and there are to had many little
utensils with which to prepare them.
Grape scissors, although not exact
ly new, are more popular this sea
son than ever before They are ser.
viceable alike in salads, or fancy
dishes, and also on the table for de-
taching just the right sized cluster
from the large bunch, task not al
ways easy to perform. A knife for
removing the pits from peaches Is
among the latest. Many of these
were novelties few years ago, while
today they are quite essential.
A scoop for ice cream and fancy
forms are aids in the serving of this
popular connection, and appeal to the
demand for variety, that is almost as
insistent with regard to culinary par
aphernalia as in the matter of dress
or house furnishings. The walnut
and the melon molds are attractive.
and therefore are likely to be favor
ed in many households.
Housewives have found it really
necessary to include all of these ar.
ticles in the kitchen outfit, and they
find it very much easier to work with
their help.

WALKING SHOES.

Warm days make some think of low
shoes. and this year they are love-
lier than ever. The latest thing are
walking pumps. These come in
black patent leather, Russian calf.
and white canvas or linen, and are
a sort of compromise between a
dainty slipper and common sense
low shoe. They have the Cuban heel
and mediumweight sole. and are cut
out like a slipper, leaving the instep
exposed. A fat made ribbon bow of
the same color as the pump is the
only decoration. says the Boston
Traveller. -

SUITS FOR MORNING. WEAR,

The morning suit for street wear
will be severely plain, especially so
in the linen suits, which are finished
with deep hem and stitching. Rus
set shoes will be a feature of the
street attire, but they differ from
those of former years. not only in be-
ing of much darked shade, but also
in having the fiat bow to the instep.
With the tailor suit a soft leather
belt is usually selected. which may
be ornate or plan, according to the
taste of the Washington
Times.

WISDOM OF THE NURSERY.


Children are apt to become saucy
and ill hammered when their elders dc
not set them a good example.
A child that learns verses and
hymns as punishment is quite certain
to take lifelong dislike to such
things : on.
Avoid taking children into crowded
shops when it is possible, as it not
only tires the child but exposes it
to impure air and infectious diseases.
Remember that medicine suitable
for grown person is too strong for
child, and never try to administer
such a dose without the advice of a
physician.
Have secure guard round the nur-
sery fire, If there is one, and firmly
latched gate at the head of the stairs
when the baby begins to crawl about.
And when a child is "fidgety' do
not take it with you when paying
calls; it causes discomfort, both to
the hostess and yourself.-Indian-
apolis News.

LITTLE FOLKS DREssEs.

The princess petticoat is an import.
an item and is made in linen or white
silk. The simplest princess petticoat
is cut with cores all in one, from
neck to hem. Another model has an
added f1ounce, and third way to
make it is with a long, plain waist
sewed to skirt, gathered at the
waist, the garment being sleeveless Or
otherwise.
Overalls in art linen, honeycombed
or gauzed, with or without Jokes of
lace, and colored in cress green, tur-
quoise blue, or raspberry pink, are
useful.
One of the prettiest coats for a
little girl below her teens is cut with
stole front into which is gathered
the actual fronts and back of the
coat, the stole being stitched at both
edges and fastened with small buttons
put in in guimps of three. The
sleeves are full and conclude in frills.
With this is worn little bonnet.
Never since embroidery was invent
ed has it been more used for any
purpose than for adjoining the gar
ments of the little ones. Borderie an
glaise is proper for little girls, col
lar being absent or present, accord
ing to preference, while the shape of
the yoke is now round, now square,
and the edge scalloped or plain.
Bishop sleeves and short puff
sleeves are the two leading vogues in
connection with frocks for little chill
dren. Nothing of it's class has sup
erseded in favoritism the long waist
ed French frock with a sash drawn
down to the hips and tied into big
bow at the back or a knot at the
left side. A simple dress of this sort
of pale blue china silk has an inser-
ton yoke of lace to match, the cuffs
to the bishop sleeves being also of
lace.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

To Get a srlinter Out.

When a splinter has been driven
into the hand 1t can be extracted by
steam. Fill a wide mouthed bottle
nearly full of hot water, place the in
jured part over the mouth and press
it slightly.
The action thus produced will draw
the flesh down, and in a minute or
two the steam will extract the splin-
ter, also the Inflammation. Try it
and be convinced.-National Maya
