which sends out a message to the muscles
of the lips to pucker up ready for the con-
tact. At the moment of contact the feeling
of pleasure restimulates the motor centre
and there is repetition of the move
ment, possibly several times.
There is, however, another very inn
portant element in the kiss, which must
not be overlooked when dealing with its
psychology The imagination of both
persons must be stirred for the kiss of
affection, The same individual will per.
form this function very differently with
different subjects. The perfunctory kiss,
or kiss of society. is hardly to be mis-
taken for the kiss Of affection, and the
difference lies, not in the operation itself,
but in the imaginative enthusiasm with
which both persons indulge. The ancient
idea that stolen kiss is sweetest meant
not when it was taken from an I'M
willing subject but when taken secretly,
or illegitimately. Mutually is held to
be an important element in the kiss, and
experts alone can decide

FATS, dear ladies, are not just
a matter of taste. They are a
matter of pure mathematics
plus geometry plus taste. Nor are
the mathematical and geometrical
factors confined to the hats alone.
They reach down to the face and
have all to do with the arrangement
of hair.
NJ. Lewis the greatest French man
milliner, has discovered this, and he
is coming to America to teach Amer
lean women just how to wear their
hats
Under NJ Lewis's theory no woman
need ever again ask the classic ques-
ton, is my hat on straight? In
the first place, M. Lewis does not be-
lieve that any woman ought to wear
her hat on straight; and, in the' Sec
ond place, very simple calculation
Of angles in relation to fixed point
on the hat itself will enable her to
tell at a glance just whether or not
the creation is poised upon her head
in Just the way to bring out its max
imum of effectiveness.
NJ. Lewis is, in the world of mil
linery, somewhat akin to what, some
centuries ago. Benvenuto Cellini was
in the world of goldsmiths. If Signor
Cellini did not like the looks OF his
patron or thought the jewel she
wanted wouldn't look well upon her
he wouldn't sell that lady the jewel.
M. Lewis is such an autocrat that
no matter how wealthy the patron
may be, she cannot have the hat that
she wants unless NJ Lewis thinks
that she will become the hat as much
as she thinks that that will become
her.
NJ. Lewis supplies hats to the most
fashionable and distinguished women
in the world. He supplies hats to
MANY of the queens of Europe but he
wants it distinctly understood that
he does not supply hats to all OF
them-oh no. indeed!-for there are
MANY of them-oh yes, quite num-
ber!-whom he would not wish to
labor for.
One of the crowned ladies for whom
he has been pleased to design hats is
fine Czarina of Russia. There is
deep and haunting sadness about her
face that calls for an artist to design
the appropriate creation to crown 1t.
M. Lewis puts such exquisite psyche
logical nuances into his hats!
"American women can be the most
chic in the world" said M. Lewis re-

tion to visit us. They are the most
chic in the world when they know

married and there is no evidence to show
that he ever kissed a girl He may have
kissed his mother-but that is quite diff
ferent matter, as most of us know.
When you see birds billing and cooling,
rubbing their bills together, only the
sense of touch can be affected, for they
can hardly taste through the bills,
though they do feel very keenly through
them. The fact that we kiss with the
lips, where there is no thick skin be-
tween the nerve-ends of the two pairs
of lips, so that feeling is keenest at this

place, and Darwin is substantiated as
against Spencer
This does not seem to be of primary
importance, but it is from a psychology
cal standpoint, for if kissing is a matter
of touch it affects a very different centre
in the brain than if it were a matter of
taste In fact, from a psychological
standpoint. taste and smell are very
closely associated as you may know from
the common experience of losing your
sense of taste when you have a heavy
cold in the head, which prevents you

Little Rock Aug. Ex-Governor Hays has issued a proclamation set ting apart September 17 and Is as good roads days for the state, at which time all persons interested in this cause are requested to contribute in whatever manner any work most appropriate for the advancement of good roads, by holding institutes, pub lie meeting, Toad workings, or in other manner best suited to each respective locality.
 Governor Hays calls attention to the fact that there has been a not iceable awakening of interest every where manifested in the numerous mass meetings, in the expressions. of the. press, and in the enactment of the recent legislatures. alll of which will goE to prove that there is a growing realization of the vital importance of public highways of the highest class ready to be crystalized into state wide, concerted effort at road i'm provement."

Fort Smith and Little Rock Want Pine Bluffs Aid in
 Reduction Move.

No definite action toward joining Little Rock aNd Fort Smith in seek ing readjustmert in freight rates from St. Louis, Cairo, Kansas City and Memphis was taken by Pine Bluff shippers at the meeting last night.
 C. D. Mowen and Asa 'R. Bragg of the Fort Smith and Little Rock traf- fic bureaus, respectively, were pres ent and presented the matter to the shippers for the first time. Directors and membe.s of the Pine Bluff Traffic bureau will hold meeting at some near date and thea matter will be ex- plained more fully to them by w. NJ. Taylor, traffic manager.
 Little Rock and Fort Smith have al- ready agreed upon basic rate and if Pine Bluff will join them they. will take the matter before the interstate commerce commission. The meeting last night was merely to discuss the present rate and to seek a readjust- ment which would prove beneficial to the shippers.
 "We are not going to ask for a large decrease ih rates" said MT. Mowen of Fort Smith last night, "but we do think that rates from these cities are exorbtant, and if Pine Bluff will join us in seeking jreadjustment of rates we believe that the commits sion will grant our requests"
