died from the contraction of
germs which she had obtained
from Romeo, who had been kiss
ing one of her gloves that he had
accidently found in the trash
pile. Be that as it may, the fact
remains hat a hygienic reason
was found for the antagonism to
kissing in the East.
We are glad to announce that
the SWANS can kiss all they want
to now without fear of getting
anything but wives. DR.. Worth
.mgton of the Harvard Medical
School has declared that there
is severy reason to believe that
when two wholesome persons
meet lip to lip, they break away
without ~upsetting the bacterial
balance, and doubly instructive
to learn that people in love can
maintain even a bacterial bal
ance, and doubly instructive to
learn that lips may meet without
any evidence of disease. We
have known this for some time.
