a sovereign. But the fair maid whom
the mayor has kissed has still another
gift to receive, and this time from
the mayoress, who is bound by custom

gift the lady whom her husband has
kissed.
There is a sort of k ssing fair held
yearly in one of the provincial towns
Of Roumania. Upon that day, at any
rate, there is free trade in kisses.
This festival is held upon the feast of
st. Theodore. and it is said that all
the girls in the town not only allow
themselves to be kissed on that day,
but offer themselves for that purpose.
