The Kiss
IN SeLf-Defense

A new line of defense has been opened
to us women, which, although primarily
adopted by modern Adam for our
undoing. we can easily adapt, as we did
the old Adams rib, and use for his.
am alluding to the self-defense kiss.

swered the swain little knowing that by
doing so he had invented a fresh weapon
OF defense for women almost as deadly

Men from time to time have done many
strange things in self-defense, but never

might well have retorted in kind, and

by the ladys disposition IA desperation

kiss I'm order that she might be induced
/ to let him go for fear that the rest OF
him might be up to sample too.
No self-respecting girl would like to be
kissed as IL she were some kind OF a
ripening fruit and the man wood

Where do we come in on the self
defense business? Let me tell you.
The feminine sef-defense kiss should
be designed to stimulate desire instead Of
allaying It. TO encourage a man to fur
ther effort In case he might think he had
used up his ticket. and to tempt him al

There are all sorts Of ways Of kissing
but the self-defense kiss will have 10

OF which are summed up in the law that
