lively in his court work that he has
come to be nationally known as THE
Great Reconciler." Thousands OF
unhappy homes made happy by his
kiss recipe are to his credit-Editor.
BY THOMAS +. GRAHAM
(Superior Court Judge of San
Francisco)
written for the United Press)
When your wife and you fall out,
Don't strut about and shout,
Don't growl at her. or scowl at her,
or hiss her;
You will find 1t doesn't pay;
Try your luck another way;
Just take her in your arms and
gently kiss her.
When your wife and you MUST fight,
Make her think she's in the right;
Don't rush Off to your club, where
you will miss her;
Should a fight with wiley start
You win play the big mans part
If you take her in your arms and
gently kiss her.
The kiss OF husband is q pledge
of his love for his wife.
I have advised men to kiss their
wives. I have not advised wives to
kiss their husbands.
The kiss that wife gives to her
husband does not mean as much TO
the husband as the kiss that q hus-
band gives to his wife.
To a husband kiss Is only q kiss,
Man only wants to be loved; he isn't
particular about being perpetually
told that he is being loved.
To wife kiss is more than the
mere meeting OF lips. A woman isn't
content merely with being loved. She
wants to be continually told that she
is being loved.
A husband is telling and retelling
his wife of his love every time he
kisses her. A woman Is happy every
time she Is given a reaffirmation of
her husbands love with a kiss. A
woman who Is conscious of her hus-
bands love will make all necessary
sacrifices for her husband, will bear
every trial willingly. will strive to
avoid every quarrel. A woman is
conscious of her husbands love when
her husband kisses her frequently.
To many wives g kiss only means
goodbye To others 1t Is only the
Of "hello." But the kiss
es that are given when the husband
Is not either going or coming mean
much more. They are expressions Of
love. expressions for which every
Wife is constantly yearning.
l know OF only one variety of kiss
the kiss Of pure man for pure
woman. 1 care not whether 1t be
planted on the forehead, the cheek
