CLUB WOMEN SHUN
KISS BUT THEN OH!
New York Beauties Brand OScu-
Iation as Insanity,'Yet Not
So Bad

NEW YORK, July ITO kiss or not
to kiss-that is the question which is
now agitating the hearts and minds of
the clubwomen of Cincinnati and which
may become an tissue" in New York.
The western women have got in ahead
with the Worlds Health Organization,
every member of which must bind her
self "to discourage the custom of kiss
ing on the lips whenever it is in my
power" Each of these members must
wear a badge which sets forth her
principles plainly for the benefit of
mere man, and an extensive six months
campaign is laid out for the gathering
in of recruits.
And all this in June and the full of
the moon! Has the sedition invaded
Manhattan? A reporter was sent out
yesterday to discover what the women
of New York really thought of the os-
culation so obnoxious to Cincinnati.
From their remarks 1t Is at least safe
to conclude that kissing isn't out yet,
but
Mrs. Philip Van Valckenburgh, who
has been married three times-I don't
think life would be worth living with
out kisses. They are as old as the
world. I'm perfectly sure Eve knew
about kissing before she listened TO tne
serpent OF course 1 don't believe in
"promiscuous" kissing, which cheapens
the value of the kiss; but it is silly to
talk about discouraging all kissing.
WASN'T TRAINED THAT WAY
Miss Alberta Hill, suffragist-I was
brought up in Japan, where they don't
do such things. So of course I sup
pose I don't know anything about It,.
But whenever 1 am told not to do any
thing, l always want to go straight and
do it. So If a society is organized to
prevent people from hssing-(a pause
and then a stammer). Well-I-I-think
all the other girls, who weren't brought
up in Japan, will want to see why
kissing's SO bad.
Mrs. Belle De Rivera, president OF
the New York city federation-I think
the agitation is extremely silly and In
very poor taste. Everyone knows a
great deal of harm may be done by the
promiscuous kissing of children. The
fact is so we'll understood it seems silly
to try to "organize" it. I feel certain
New York clubwomen will not join IN
any such foolish, sensational agitation.
Mrs. William Cummings Story
Frankly. never gave the question a
serious thought, but (diplomaticallyl II
must have q certain amount OF I'M
portance, or the Cincinnati women

Horses Eligible for the $4,000
Race

NEW YORK, July 4.-This weeks
big race on the program of the Empire
City Racing association which opens a
twenty-six days meeting at Yonkers
will be the $4,000 Brighton handicap at
a mile and a quarter Saturday. Indi-
cations point to fast race. S. c. Hill
dreth has eight Observation-Disclosures
King James, Restigouche, Fire stone,

however, are in well with 122 and 123

would not have deemed 1t worthy OF
their serious attention.


ONE FORM "EXTRENTELY SILLY"
Mrs. Harriette J. Wood=-I think the
practice of kissing is altogether too
extensive. The habit of certain society
women of saluting each other with a
kiss every time they casually meet is
extremely silly. A handshake is In
much better taste. But a mother should
kiss her children whenever she chooses,
unless she is the victim of disease Her
kisses are the result of a lovely natural
impulse of affection, and the children
can receive nothing but good FROM
them. AS to forbidding young men and
women to kiss-well, 1 think they are
old enough to look out for themselves.
And even If the practice Is an evil,
every evil has it's compensations, you
know.
DR.. Eugenia Hancock-There are dis
eases terrible In their effect that are
transmitted with the utmost ease by
kissing. And all our young people are
equally in danger. Yet kissing 1s
natural wholesome thing In its origin,
and sentimental considerations would
make it's banishment impossible. 1t Is
the very flavor of all poetry and song
and romance. But it should be prop
erly safeguarded. 1t would not be such
a bad idea if all young people had to
produce health certificates before kiss
ing or any other forms of courtship are
indulged In.
SEES MORE IMPORTANT THINGS
Mrs. Winifred H. Cooley, national
secretary of the Allied Clubs Of Domes-
tic Science-It seems to me such things
as domestic service and good roads
and pure food and adequate schools
are much more important than ito kiss
or not to kiss"
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper-If women
could vote they wouldn't be worrying
their heads about being kissed.
