WOOD, lawyer:
kissing ls purely q matter of tem<
permanent. Naturally during the earl1
days of marriage there In more kiss4
ing than later on. Marriage IL at hrsU
merely an extended courtship. Th(
woman has yielded. in a sense. an
yet sne Is not altog ether won. she hal
to got acquainted with her husbsnS
and ne with her.
Then. at first there Is generany
more time for caresses. Almost every
one has a wedding journey and n hong
ey1noon that may last from a week u
n year. It's playtime. Later on bot
husband and wife must show thArj
love In a different way. must begin toj
work for each other. They have other
things to do han cuddling.
when a woman IL first married ehe
ISN'T going to take too much for grans
cd. She wants to know plainly anN
.mnhaticaIly how much her husband
cares for her. And ~ he cares =.
wants to leave no doubt IN her mand

that 4. - wrong TO ksss children On the
lins. but I cannot see that the danger

own-up people.
'"rhis does rot mean that I disbeRevs

There Is the close embrace, that Q n
1 vcvs a world Of meaning and Saader
sentiment, and II has all the 0nce9on
Of tradition.
Then there are other ways OF et1eNg.
Personally, I hink thar quito the most

MRS. JULIAN HEATH, Prssl6sn<
Of the League for Home Eeonomles:
Most people kiss too often. rath&s
than not often enough.
"Fhs Kiss, which shoaid 6s . a.
vine, aimost sacred. sxpFessloa 81
love, has dsgsnsrAtsA Into . Q
el courtesy.
why should n wife - - anxfous TO
her husbands Esses7. A great man
men mean nothing in particular whs'
they kiss a woman. In fact, ! tAini
a woman generally puts more eimk
canoe into a kiss than 10 really there.
"Of course. there's an old esyinr
deeds. not words but 7 believe word
are often a good thing. So ] believ'
that kisses and caressss are good things
adding little rae and dainty orns
ments TO the bare outlines OF existence
There should be plenty of them in maj
rled life.
But as Tor saying lust how m
Shakespeare made the right answer q
that-'There's beggary In the love hi
can be rcckoned!'"
