THE KISS OF PHILANTHROPY
ANDY CARNEGIE HAS DICK HOB
son SKINNED A BLOCK.
A Fair Atlanta Kissee Says Kiss of the
Old Ironmaster Thrills and Soothes.
Hobson's Is Not Satisfying.

The literature of the kiss would fill
libraries-even Carnegie libraries
and yet the great iron master and phi
lanthropst has added a new and in
teresting chapter to it-with the aid of
an Atlanta woman. For ages practi-
cally every poet and playwright has
taken whack at the kiss, endeavor-
ing to interpret 1t in new way. And
there are various kinds of kisses; that
of Judas, of Ruth of Rachael, of Pot
iphar's wife, of Jacob, of Don Juan,
of Benedick, of Olga Nethersole and
OF Lillian Russell. There is the kiss
of love, and of cold courtesy, which
women know so we'll. There is the
kiss of pity, and of sudden emotion.
Indeed, the catalogue is long. But
Mr.. Carnegie has introduced a new
kind-the kiss of philanthropy.
1t seems that in Atlanta the other
day two of his fair auditors, congrat-
ulating him on his speech, told him
it was ''just too sweet for anything"
Mr.. Carnegie beamed his pleasure.
The soft impeachment went straight to
his heart. He couldn't resist the i'm
pulse to recompense the ladies for
their kind words. He kissed them.
One of them has consented to go into
print for the purpose of describing the
Carnegie philanthropic kiss. Accord
ing to her description it is one of the
finest things that ever happened, and
she could just die being kissed by
CarnegieI Here is the way she de-
scribeS it:
"The Carnegie kiss leaves nothing
to be desired. Mr.. Carnegie, as a
kisser, is unexcelled. The pressure of
his lips on ones lips is satisfying in
every respect His kiss thrills and at
the same time soothes. He is not
hasty in kissing, which accounts in a |
measure for the delight which follows |
the pressure of his lips. His lack of
haste in removing his lips enables the
recipient of his kiss to extract all that
is possible for OSCILLATION. To my dy-
ing day [ shall never forget that JOY |
full sensation [ experienced while Mr.. |
Carnegie'S lips were on mine. Mr..
Carnegie may be old in years, but he |
is still. young in his ability to kiss"
Isn't that enough to make NATL
nee girl shudder with ecstacy! But
that isn't all. The same Atlanta wo-
man was kissed by Lieutenant Hob
son. Now, it is very we'll established
fact that Mr.. Hobson is Tor was) an
expert in the art of kissing. Practice
just after the war with Spain made
him perfect. When in training he
could no doubt have kissed Nethersole
to a stand still. But the Atlanta
kissee says that Mr.. Carnegie beats
Hobson a city block as kisser. HE
is superior to Hobson in every /
way" she saws; 1.-THE Hobson kiss
lacks the satisfying quality that is
found in the Carnegie kiss. Hobson !
rather pecks at your lips, while Mr.:
Carnegie goes straight ahead and
makes a good job of it. Mr.. Carne-
gle keeps his lips there long enough
for you to understand what good kiss
ing is"
Such is the multi millionaire Dhilan-
thropist kiss, and it must be very fine.
But it would be safe to wager that
there are innumerable young women
who are sure that there are young men
of their acquaintance whose kisses
are far sweeter than any Mr.. Carne- |
gle could produce. News.
