The Oldest caress In the World.

The Oldest caress In the World.
Ii may be said without fear OF con-
tradiction that there Is no custom so
universal, and SO common to all peo-
pies OF the earth, az that OF kissing.
The kiss Is also one OF the Oldest.
II not the oldest. custom in the world.
Its origin dates back TO a period be-
foro history was written. and the kiss
appears and reappears in various
countries and various ages, in one
guise or another. either as a demon
stration OF love. mark of affection, or
sign of reverence or veneration.
What is kiss?
Scholars disagree. Various defni-
tons have been given and set down
In black and white but none OF these
seem TO grasp the real spirit of the
kiss. IL Is because the kiss breathes
with life, with vitality. and none of
these things can be adequately ex-
pressed In written words.
Webster puts IL in this way: Kiss,
noun: salute or caress given by
smacking with the lips
But somehow the definition seems
Grass, for Webster wrote prose. and
the kiss was never satisfactorily
handled outside OF verse.
But why bother about definitions ?
II is scarcely possible that anyone
today has any doubt about the mean
ing OF the word, or ignorance of the
experience OF kissing.
Origin of the Kiss.
The custom of kissing may have

originated with the Jews, but IL Is
more likely that Il was an old custom
even in the days OF Noah. Ii is alto
gether probable that II had its origin
In a sort OF spontaneous combustion
in the garden OF Eden. But no men
tlon is made in the Bible OF an ex-
change of courtesy through the lips
in the garden of Eden. although the
custom may have been too old even
then to deserve even passing com
ment.
The first mention made In the Bible
OF the custom occurs in Genesis
Jacob, In the dress of his brother
Esau. and in the cause OF his own
preferment. went to his blind father

tanned and gave the kiss of affection
and what was more To the point, a
very favorable mention In Isaac's will
AS custom the kiss. among the
Jewish nation, was confined TO kissing
with the lips In the case of relatives
and kissing on the cheek In case OF
friends. The custom was widespread
and was merely a mark of affection
and friendship.
The Romans Caught On.
Travellers having business with the
Jews came to admire the Jewish Gus
tom OF kissing and helped to spread
the gospel of the kiss among the other
nations OF the earth The Romans
proved adept pupils of the Jews IL
this respect. and the custom of kiss
ing became fiourishing institution
among the Romans at an early date.
