THE kiss" she said, blushing

years ago. Now, among the aristoc-
racy, it is becoming quite renowned.
Some of my people love the kiss.
Yet it comes as a great shock at

from anything in a Japanese girls

who tainted at first kiss that was
perhaps too warmly rendered. Yet
these very maids became afterward
ardent advocates of the new Western

Rug and Curtain Holder.

When beating carpets or rugs on
the line the housewife is presented
with a problem. Each time she
strikes the rug with the beater the
rug has a tendency to slip over grad

rug the greater the liability to get
out of balance. Frequently the rug
falls off the line entirely and has to.

ance and to prevent the rug slip

devised the holder shown here. 1t
is made of strong spring wire, the
supper portion being curved to fit
over the rug. In connection with
the four lower corners-which, on
account of the tension of the spring
wire, are inclined to come togeth-
er-are prongs which force them
selves into the rug. The holder is
stronger and more effectual than
holding the carpet with one hand and
beating with the other. The opera
