ABOUT THE ART OF KISSING
Writer Calls Practice 4 Folly, but II
Is Not Likely Soon to Be
Abolished.

Why do people kiss? The act itself
Is ridiculous as spectacle and unsat-
isfying as an amusement. It's sole
Of suffocation, and on the psychic side
it is frequently embarrassing, partic-
ularly if an unsupported audience re-
veals itself. say, by satiric whoops and
catcalls. 1t has none of the charm Of
other pleasures, such as solfeggiO, eat
ing and automobiling. for example.
Kissing will neither build up the
anaemic nor soother the neurasthenic.
But still it thrives, and no jeremiads
on its perils will ever work its aboli-
ton. The man who makes a practice
of kissing the fair sex is man at
tracted rather than repealed by dam
ger. He knows that every kiss he
steals is full of fearful hazards. The
girl herself may black his eye, stab
him with a hatpin or call for the po-
lice, and then again she may choose
to regard his idle favor as an offer OF
marriage, and accept him before he
can escape. Yet again, her father or
brothers, detecting him with his arm
around her neck and his eyes gazing
into her forehead, may rush in and
hail him as a relative, touching him
for small loans, calling him by his
first name and selling extensively
upon all the other familiarities which
relatives in-law affect. Finally, the
mother of the girl may knit him
puise-warmers and send him amateur
remedies for his rheumatism and red
nose, and her little sisters may giggle
every time they see him.-Baltimore

PERSIAN WoMAN's HARD LOT
Belief in That Country That Females

An Englishwoman, Mrs. Bonn, has,
like so many other English folks
whose one wish seems to be that for

been travelling about Persia, which she
does not seem to fancy greatly. anc

Those who live in Seistan, for in.
stance. that is the men, treat their
wives badly, as o1.entals usually do,
and why not, since nothing is so GER
tain as that women have no souls. The
Seistani, then do not respect women.
and after the usual fashion of the east,
treat them as playthings while they
are young and pretty. The women are
not as unhappy as they might be. Mrs
Benn thinks they are thankful while

afterward as age comes on. drop back
into drudges, caring for their success

not beaten.
In Persia. as In most eastern coun-
tries there are great numbers Of peo-
pie with sore eyes. owing largely to
the glare and dust and dirt, and Mrs.
Benn being presumably a woman with
idess on hygiene, thinks yet more of

over all food and the faces of the chill
