wife of the Sunday school superinten-
dent, caused riot at meeting of the
congregation called to consider the mat
ter.
The preacher called at the Loudon
home at night, according to Mrs. Lou
don and said to her: My, how sweet
you are! Give me a kiss and then tried
TO take the kiss he asked for.
Mrs. Loudon lodged the parson. Sac
told her husband when he returned and
the trouble began. Soon the 800 mem
bers of the church were split into Lou
don and Barnwell factions.
Then a great church meeting was held
to consider the matter, at which the
preachers friends were in majority.
When Loudon realized this he walked to
where Rev. Mr.. Barnwell sat, slapped
the preachers jaws, and denounced him
as "a wolf in sleeps clothing" Several
blows were struck and free fight was
narrowly ayerted.
The women of the congregation are Al
most a unit for Rev. Mr.. Barnwell.

Kiss all you want to, but after each
fifth kiss take a sanitary gargle. Germs
and microbes like kisses Just as we'll as
human beings do. To be on the safe
side, though, sterilize each kiss.

Clifford of New Jersey sent to the world
at large between the ages of Is and the
divorce court. He had lectured upon the
hygiene of the mouth before Il dental
convention at Cleveland, O.

the doctor, and then caught himself.
''Er, that is, from purely nnsentimen-
tai, scientific. and l might say hygienic
standpoint. | have no wish as a man
and a married one, toto pose as the
enemy of the kiss.
kissing, though, is a form of disease
which the constitution finds it very diff
cult to throw off. There are germs and
microbes lurking in every kiss. The con
stitution can throw off these-in limited
quantities.
1T cannot, though, if there are too
many of them. The only safe way is to
be sanitary about your kissing"

Goldsol's men about, how many kisses

The button boot Is ever the boot of

cap} Is of medium height this year. The
edges of the sole are close trimmed, SO
that the shoes have an extremely neat
appearance, Notwithstanding the fact
that soles are a little thicker than they
have heretofore been worn. The high Gu

shoes and walking shoes; for slippers the
Louis heel still continues.

years she has adopted white for her
summer wardrobe. In wash fabrics she
finds 1t more economical than coors. since
It is safe from fading by sun and laun-
dry In the past two seasons she has
added white shoes and hosiery to her

in place. They are made of heavy bro
cades, and Of almost solid braidings and
embroidery. There are other vests OF
waist length and others still shorter,
merely crossing high on the bust line.
The sleeves OF these dressier suits are
usually three-quarter length. In some
instances they are of the Japanese nature
and cut in one with the body Of the coat,
or inserted in a very wide arm-size. but
this Japanese vogue Is not by any means
universal. There are very many of the
coat costumes that have rather simple
sleeves pleated into the armhele in the
regulation fashion and decorated with
one or two cuffs. The sleeve, indeed. Is
behaving quite sanely in the latest mod
els that come tt us from Paris. 1t Is
neither extremely large nor ridicuously
small, and is simple and graceful rather
than fussy and elaborate.
