Kissino In Iceland.

Among old time laws against kissing
those of Iceland appear to have been
the most severe. Punishment was the
penalty laid down for kissing another
mans wife. either with or without her
consent. The same punishment was
enforced for kissing an unmarried wo-
man against her will If 1t could be
proved that she had consented to be
kissed the offender was still liable to
a fine of great quantity of cloth for
each offense.
