The wife of prominent Unitarian

cook meant She was a new cook, and
there was every reason to believe she
was a good cook. At any rate, she
had unquestionably served in good
families, and she brought the best OF
references. Nevertheless, her new
mistress did not hesitate to give her
a few instructions.

tice that her lips promise
the sweetest kisses that mortal ever,
dreamed Of And it is just then, too,
that she seems to have made up her
mind that those lips are the
very things that you shall never ap-
proach nearer than about a yard and
a half, and then with her dear moth

guard against any sudden vertigo
which her alluring eyes may inspire.

derstand how that impetuous person,
Byron. must have felt when he wrote
the lines about the women in the
world having a single month, SO that
he could kiss them all at once.
He seems a pretty effective one to
mention; SO you mention him, and
from him you range through the i'm
passioned poets, beginning with Sap
pho and probably using Omar as a
way station into the list of the mod

And then? Well, then the earth
trembles and the heavens roll up as
a scroll, and you realize you've kissed
her.
1t may have cost you nothing more
than a few expressions Of distin
guished consideration-and, by the
way, they make the finest kisses
or it may cost you millions, if you
have them. 1t may cost you a king

it may cost both.

dorse the sentiment. The
81 national percentages of
conspicuous examples are
too impressive to call for a census of
the crowds, although, what with the
diamond trust whooping up the price
of engagement rings and the hens or
ganized to elevate their yearly output,
the kiss market has gone up even in
France, where it was supposed to let
happiness radiate, free as air, with
out costing more than a compliment.
The conspicuous examples that
stand out in history as expensive kiss
es-like those Antony obtained from
Cleopatra and Jacob earned from La
bans attractive daughter-are being
paralleled nowadays on the wholesale
scale, with women figuring pretty
prominently among the buyers, al
though the men, as usual, are the
more daring operators.
Very often the price that is actual
ly paid reaches a level far above the
original valuation. Adonis may be per
suaded, after long youthful timidity,
to let Venus have a lock of his hair
as a souvenir of their meeting, and it
turns out that he has sacrificed his
immortal soul.
Whether the soul OF the latest and
most romantic Adonis, Manuel of Por-
( tugal, went into limbo with his neat
little throne, must be settled between
Manuel and the recording angel in the
future; but Paris and Portugal had

where poor mon could work their way.

students should be at least partly self

years afterward.
1T soon turned out that a monu-

How Maiden Lady of the Old DomIn.

II women ever come to sit on the
bench In old Virginia, there's a mai
den lady living on her ancestral acres
just across the Potomac from Wash
lngton who can qualify for the job.
Recently realty company bought
tract OF land the other side OF her
property and plated It into suburban
lots. Desiring ready access to the
capital. they instituted proceedings to
run a public road through the old
lady's land; worse, as she learned.
the projected road would cut right
through the prettiest part Of her trim
lawn. dear with it's memories OF her
childhood
She consulted her lawyer. only to
be told there was no help for II,
since private property may. under the
law. be condemned for Aublic use. no
matter how unwilling an indignant
owner may be.
Far from resigniDg herself to the
ruthless lnroad on her cherished lawn.
the old lady buried herself In the
musty law library handed down from
an ancient ancestor, once a prominent
Judge in the Old Dominion.
When some days later a party OF
surveyors appeared with stakes and
chains 10 lay out the line OF road, they
found the owner. spade In hand. just
setting out the last Of a phalanx Of
young apple trees squarely in front
OF the lawn and right in the line Of
the proposed highway.

she said defsntly to the astonished
surveyors, "T'll have you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass.
With that she called up half a dozen
trusty young countrymen waiting be-

What does all this mean?" asked
