HERE'S A VILLAGE of KISSING
ENGLISH TOWN WHERE OFF,
CIAL KESsERs MAKE ROUNDS.
r.yo Men Chosen For the job work

An Old Custom.

Hard and Enjoy Their Labor.
An Old Custom.
PHILADELPHIA A London let
ter to the Record says:
How would you like 10 De the ON
ciaI kisser for the village Gf Hunger
ford? The town has two of them
and they work hard and enjoy their
labor Hungtrford is on T." borders
of Berkshire and Wiltshire.
The custom of official kissing there
il centuries old. 1t happens on Hook
ney Tuesday.
Unless you have lived through
Hockney Tuesday you can nave no
conception of what it means. Az
O'Clock the town crier of Hungertord
in gray and scarlet, with brass but
tons. comes out of the town hall ana
blows three notes on the ancient
horn given by John O Gaunt, and
that is the signal for two tutti-men
TO emerge from the cOnstable's house
with slaves tipped with fiOwers-dat-
fodils, primroses and tulips, sur
mounted by an orange.
It IS their business to go form and
kiss he damselS of the town, IRE
spective of age or beauty, according
to custom.
lanes Blake and Anthony Bow
sher were the tutti-men this Hook
ney Tuesday Mr.. Blake is 60 years
old. Mr.. Bowsher is younger, but
both of them kissed vigorously from
8 O'Clock until 6 in the evening,
with a break for dinner
Tradition DEGREES that they shall
be liberal with oranges and pennies.
Therefore, having kissed maid they
give her an orange as a solace, and
they hurl oranges among the crowd
Of urchins who follow them about all
day.
1t was a perfect orgy OF kissing.
They knocked at doors and little
high-pitched shrieks fioated out into
the street, showing how nobly the
tutti-men were doing their duty.
They went to the workhouse and
kissed all the old ladies, including
Ann Benson, who is SO years old;
they went to the laundry with their
floral slaves. Up and down for five
miles they wandered, from house to
house, kissing, kissing, kissing, until
at the time Of sunset there were no
more left to kiss.
They wanted to start again, but
that is against the ancient laws.
Meanwhile, during these goings-
on, the Hock-Tide court had been
sitting, doing the serious business of
the year, appointing a constable,
portreeve, an ale-taster and what
not, and at the end the entire court
adjourned to the Three Swans for
church warden pipes and bowls of
smoking punch.
Every one agreed that they were
good old times"
