KISSING WITHOUT LIMIT
MAY BE LOVES DEATH
Man Fond of Oscillation But Excessive Demonstrations
Of Affection Are Not to His Liking-Scientsts
Claim 1t Is Dangerous.
Demonstrations

By DOROTHY DIX

IN kissing the man should always be TIA
kisser and the woman the Kissee This
holds good both before and after mar
riaSe- A man only takes an interest in
kissing as long IS the kisses have to be
stolen The minute Wguzl's Ius ara
offered TO him ne takes kissing out O.
the pleasure class and puts It on the
duty list.
Young women often write 10 this de-
partDcnt and ask If they should permit
young men to kiss them Never The
girl Uri1o doesn't positively refuse % let
man KISS Ler IS an idiot And she
IS likely rOI to get kissed a all It's
elWayS the kiss In TilCT q uEE has 70
risk his neck for which he IS willing %
Climb The one that IS nrcffered him
a. The front door he lodges
AauinlODy does not change a mans
nature and as the wise wife VINO turns
over the kissing JOB IN lhe family 70
Eer husband II you wiz observe, you
viii perceive that & Is always the cool.
lnd l1erent kind o. wives whose hus-
bands continue 70 be lovers after mar
riaee, whereas only too orten the warm
hearted. affectiouate, demcustrative
woman, who is a record klsser. has 70
bestOw her kisses OF a husband who
Is as unresDonsive as a craven image
Man Does Not
Pine for Kisses.
The third moral to this story Is
. that 10 be welcome kisses must be
given at the psychological moment
g This also Is a point that women often
fail to take into consideration The
most enamored man on earth doesn't
: want 20 be stopped and kissed when
I ne IS N the midst Of some euEroSsfue
piece OF work on which has whole
mind and soul are concentrated Nor
does he pine for kisses when he is
hungry-what he Graves IS beef and
potatoes, instead Of tokens Of zfec-
ton
To my mind. there IS no more dead
3 y foe 10 real love than the insane
convention that has made II the
proper tnlnS Tor 3 husband and vile
10 bestoT q meaningless kiss upon
each other every morning when the
man starts 20 his business
Il Is a kiss utterly without sentiment
q kiss favored with bacon and eEEs, a
perfuucto-y kiss thar IS received n q
peT1uuCIOTy manner. md thai is As ike
y 10 hit the back Of the wOmau's hair
or the end or her nose as II Is her lips
be IS thinking, I've got TO hurry OF
III miss my car but this is something
that I Va got 10 get through with and
she IS thinking about her housekeeping,
or what the children are doing OF the
{ shopping she IS going 70 do, and both Of
them hustle through the little ceremony
and are glad when It's over.
And poor Cupid observing il, turns Up
MS little toes 70 the daisies and chants
I a requiem over the kiss that vas, and
the kiss that IS
! "IcCnOClasts- PTOfaueTs OF sacred
I things IdiOts"' he cries. Better on=
. Kiss year that IS warm with real love
{ and thrilling with fire, than a million
/ kisses tE-ar are nothing but the touch OF
dead lips
/ Scientists tell US that kissing IS one
Of the most dangerous amusement Is
known 10 humanity. This being The
case. il is earnestly to De desired that
the practice Of kissing should be dis
CoUTaEed. and that the over-ki6sing
should he suppressed.
