Between now and the fall elections
the public may expect to hear of many
standpat republicans declining renom-
nations. 1t is said two or three mem

0rioin Of NuptjsI Kiss,

The nuptial kiss, with meaning
akin 10 that of the kiss of peace, had
it's origin in most serious and prac.
tical church ceremony known as the
espousals Among medieval people.
as among some classes of Jews today.
1t was customary for the bridegroom
and the bride to meet before wit
nesses in the church some days or
even weeks before the marriage and
there make a pledge of future union,
and at such times a ring was usually
presented by the prospective husband.
Sometimes, however, the man was too
poor to buy the ornament. and instead
presented kiss, which was doubtless
more pleasant, and was considered a
binding pledge before man and God.
