NO kissing is proper. He says that I
the Chicago movie censors have COM |
mitted a great, breach of true CEN
sorship by admitting that it is proper
to kiss at all.
A Chicago authority upon good
manners was visited by reporter
and asked what would be proper if |
kissing was prohibited.
In his etiquet laboratory the au-
thority had several substitute poses
for kissing posed.
He showed first the kiss=flter- |
small silver-framed net of antiseptic |
material which is worn by the lady, |
like lorgnette, and inserted between !
two pairs of approaching lips in time |
to avoid actual contact. The use of |
the kiss-filter is spreading rapidly. 1t |
is now worn by most actresses, and
army officers wives, and with the |
vogue of the kiss tango will probably |
become as essential to the toilet as |
is the powder puff.
Those who believe that the inter-
vention of mechanical continuance
spoils the true ecstatic soulfulness of |
the kiss are adopting the digital kiss. |
This is performed like the thrown |
kiss, but one finger only is used in
stead of the whole hand The effect |
of the use of one finger is much SUI
perior, it is held, in delicateness.
Others have adopted the chin-kiss.
This is considered much superior to
nose-rubbing, which the Chicago
movie censors advocate as substi-
tute for kissing. Nose-rubbing is in |
use among many savage tribes but is
not popular among occidental peo-
pies. The chin-kiss, however, is a
very successful substitute, except in

HINDU GIRLS ARE REFUSED

quel to the recently attempted Hindu

says there are now 25,000,000 widows
in India.
The steamship Komagata Maru which
brought over the Hindus who have been
refused landing in Canada, has not
yet sailed for India, and the belief is
held by the immigration authorities
that they expect to land on the west
coast of Vancouver Island instead of
returning home.
Chief immigration Inspector Reid de-
clares he will follow the ship half way
across the Pacific to see that they make
proper departure.
