FIFTEEN SORTS OF KISSES.
Certainly Enough for Every One to
Have Taste.

The more usual thing is the more
inclined we are to accept it without
wondering at all about It's previous
history or its meaning, says the New
York American. One hopes there are
very few people in the condition of
New York's little East Side girl of
five years old who was taken to a hos
pital very i'll, and. when IN great pain,
was asked by the hospital nurse ::
Shall I kiss the place to make it
well7' The small patient said ::
"What's kiss9' 1t is dreadful to
think that there should be children in
America who do moi know what kiss
ing is: the great majority of the civi-
LIKED world are better informed. but
few people exchanging This affection
ate salutation know what an import
amt place ii has held in history.
In the Middle Ages the monks took
the matter in hand. and must have
studied it with great attention. for
they divide the kiss into fifteen kinds.
These were the dccorous kiss, the di-
pl"matlr, the spying--to ascertain if a
woman had drunk wine-the slave
kiss. the kiss infamous Ca church pen
ancc), the slipper kiss-practiced to-
wards tyrants-the judicial kiss, the
feudal kiss. the religious kiss, the aca-
damic kiss-on joining q brotherhood

kiss of love. This does not include
the kiss Of peace. which was a greet
III" exchanged between members of
the early church. a symbol Of which
is still cNtant in the kissing Of the
pax at high mass.
Before this period the kiss had
been considered Of virtue in various
circumstances. The ancicnts bcliev-
ed that kissing a dying person might
delay the moment Of dissolution. Then
there is charming legcnd of st.
Monica. telling that when she was dy-
ing little unknown child came and
Kissed her. whcnupon her soul was
released from Inc body. This gave rise
to the Italian phrase, "Falling asleep
in the Lord's s kiss"
There is an cpigram on kissing,
rather on the plan Of Borrow's famous
conversation between Jasper and his

brotller 1t runs: "What is sweetar
than mead? The dew Of heaven. And
what IS sweeter than dcw9 Honey
from Hyhia. WHAT is sweeter than
nectar. A kiss" In passing, one
may mention. another epigram con-
structed on this plan, taking the form
of beautiful old house in Norfolk,
England. AS the visitor waits for the
medieval door to be opened his eyc
inevitably rests OH the tablet which
proclaims: "What is worse than a
tiger7 A demon. What is worse tnan
a demon7 A woman. What is worse
than woman9 Nothing"
In old ballads kissing is represent
ed as a potent antidote to enchant-
ments, and the legends Of the saints
arc full Of instances of miraculous
cures effected by kiss.
a different form Of kissing, nos so
pleasant as most others, is represent
ed in the sayings: "To kiss the rod"
"To kiss the dust" and in old Eng.
land, "To kiss the gunner's daugh-
tcr.' The last mentioned, taken liter
ally, does not suggest Il punishment;
It's exact meaning, however, is to be
tired to the brccch Of cannon to re-
receive Il flogging.
1T seems SO natural a form Of
greeting to IT'S that it is strange to
think there arc many countries where
IT IS absolutely unknown. In Japan it
IS n"toriousl y not practiccd At the re-
cent Earl's Court Exhibition, in Lon
don, in the Old Japan section there
was most beautiful brown baby in Il
blue kimona and a purple obi. 1t
played with its little toys and with
those Of the English children who
were among the spectators all day
long, and its demeanor was one Of
kindly dignity throughout, recalling
kipling's remark that in Japan the
only serious things arc the babies,
whose duty is to look after the grown
ups. However,, there was one thing
that upset this very much pcltcd in
FAINT. and that was when any demon
Stralivc spectator tried to kiss il. 4
proceeding which struck terror to its
soul and caused il to rcnd the air vii
the most hcarircndin~ Shrirks o. pan
ir.
In the South Sea Islands the place
OF the kiss is taken by the sign Of af-
fcction prevalent among calves and
ponics-that is, by rubbing noscs-a
practice which must be difficult to
those in whom this feature is. as Ten
nySon delicately put it, "tip-tilted
like the petal of a rosc.'
1t Is possible that at some period
in England, even in France, kissing
had the strangcness of novelty, but
this must have been before the ear
licst glimmcrings of history.
