Then the daughter whose face
showed traces Of the life she had

bonnet. I want # to hang up in my

the naturai expression OF
love and kindred feelings.
How is 1t. then. 20 be explained that
a kiss has come to be Of such vast
importance7 How is It that a light
touch OF the lips Is able to express our
inmost feelings more eloquentiy than
the words OF any lar guage?
Is this to be considered something
primitive or something artificial and
eonventionaI7 Is It as natural to kiss
when we love as 20 laugh when we are
happy or cry when we are sad? IN
other words, is Steele right when he
says that nature has taught Us TO kiss.
and that nature was the author Of
the kiss and that It began with the
first eOurtship7"
I shall try to answer this question,
but I must advance the remark that
we here touch something OF which we
cannot know anything definitely and
that al we can do IS TO put forward
more or less plausible theories.
First, Il Is important 10 remember
that many nations do not know the
kiss in its ordinary form. Il IS un-
known IN the greater part OF Polyne-
STA, IN Madagascar, and among many
negro tribes IN Africs, principally, Of
course, among those who mutilate their
lips.
". Reade tells OF the terror OF
young negro girl when he kissed her.
II Is also unknown among the Pata-
gOnians and the EskimOs as well as
among the natives Of part OF Finland.
B. Taylor says IN his Northern
Travel that. while in Finland men
and women may battle together. kiss
ing Is considered immoral and inde-
cent. when he told a Finnish We
man that 1t was common in England
for husband and wife TO kiss each
other, she replied Indignantly: IF my
husband dared try that I should box
his ears 50 that be would feel # for a
week"
II one then asks what takes the
place OF the kiss mong these people.
II should be remem3 ered that there are
an infinite number OF greetings. Some
people slap each others hands or
stomachs. others blow on each other s
hands. while still others scratch their
right ear and put out their tongues.
In many countries greetings are ex-
changed with the nose. This IS ths
