Crime to Kiss.

in Russia it is a crime for lovers
to kiss in public, and not very long
ago two young women and two young
women were arrested in Odessa for
having been guilty of this offense
iThey had all been dining together in
a restaurant, and kissed on parting.
They were condemned to short terms
of imprisonment, and the sentences
we're confirmed on appeal. The gen,
eral fine in Russia for a kiss in the
open street is Is shillings, but in a
Gsamcar it may cost anything up to
rs shillings.
