Kissing is under the ban in Atlanta,
Ga. It's unhealthy and embarrassing to
those not taking part in the exercises. a
few months ago they convicted and fined
travelling man who kissed his wife on
the street as he arrived home from a
trip. The judge announced that there
was nothing personal in the case; that
he would have been fined just the same
had he kissed some one clSes wife. And
now they have called ont the police and
the electric light company to put a stop
to reckless OSCILLATION in the public parks.
The electric light company IL to erect
electric lights every now aud then IN
the parks so that the kissing squad may
catch and arrest the awful violators of
the law. People who live near the parks
say that they are driven from their
VerandaS every pleasant night by the
Wholesale loyemalIug under their very
noses. So the word has gone forth. No
kissing goes.

With many OF the heavy winter hats Of
fur and velvet that are worn low down on
the head no long hat pins are used. Instead
several short, stout pins run in about

pins naturally have much smaller heads,
though some have elongated ones The
method of fastening the veil with the large
hats in fashion is to draw 1t closely over
the face, fastening 1t with fancy pins to the

again high up under the huge hat brim.
