The Kiss Taboo

By VINCENT G, PERRY
Copyright, 1918. by the Mcclure Newspa-
 per Syndicate.)

It was a glorious afternoon. Poets and writers with a wide vocabulary of adjcctives would have rcvclcd in de- scribing it. Lenora MOntroSe sank into comfortable big chair on the Neran- da and endeavorcd to enjoy every breath of it. But even enjoying after moons becomes tireSomc, especially to girls of Lcnora's type, so she rum maged through the magazine rack by her side in search of something of in- tereSt. A magazine fell from the cen ter of the pile and opened at her feet. Lenora gave an exclamation of disap- proval as she saw her own face look ing at her from the open page.
 Would that that article and picture might vanish from her sight, she wish ed, as she kicked the book closed. It was the most idiotic thing she had ever read. She hadn't thought that at first, but now she felt it nearly every minute of the day. Why couldn't she forget it? She couldn't, no matter how hard she tried, for she had been so
 
 it so many times it was impressed on her memory for all time to come. The paragraph under her picture was the one that galled her most. The arti- cle was practically all about her ia ther, but that one paragraph about herself was the one she hated. She could see it in her minds eye staring out at her mOrnin<, noon and night. Miss Lenora Montrose, the charming young lady pictured above, only daughter of Doctor Montrose, the we'll known health specialist, falls in line with her fathers views on the oscula- tory practice. The young man who weds her will be denied the privilege of kissing his bride, she states em- phatically. Doctor Montrose is en- deavoring to secure legislation to make kissing illegal"
 However she could have made such a statement for publication she could not see now, but she had made it, and there was no denying it. It was barely five months before that she had given the interview to the magazine writer in connection With the article about hel father. She was just fresh from school and hadn't thought of anything but books and what great man hel father was. How was she to know that some day she would want to be kissed?
 Her change of views all came about because of the new chauffeur. Tha' was another thing to worry about

very thought of it made her blush. To think of her, the daughter of one of the leading scientists of the day, in love with a chauffeur. Here her senti- ment got the best of her pride. Dick COchrane was not common chauffeur far from it. He was the very finest chauffeur and the best looking young refinement and education, too, that be- wildered her. Who was Dick and where did he come from? she asked herself a dozen times day. She was sure there was a romance connected with him and she was going to find out all about it. Perhaps it was better she did not know. Why in the world couldn't he tell her? He would, she was sure, when he asked her to mar ry him. He had been on the point of asking her on two or three occasions but he hadn't Why hadn't he? Was it for the same reason that he didn't kiss her? He had been on the point of kissing her on more than two or three occasions and had always stopped himself. She knew that he knew of
 the magazine articles and. that was what caused him to refrain. How she
 hated that article! All her pent-up feeling was eNerted in one kick at the magazine at her feet and it shot from
 the veranda and lit at the feet of Dick ,Cochrane as he rounded the corner of
 the house.

said softly. 'The rest, as I told you,

I looked through the little bunch he
handed me. 1t included my identifi-

Nation In the Grip
OF Spanish Flu

A distemper or disease, supposed
to have been brought to the United
States while raging in Spain, hence
known as Spanish influenza, is
spreading over the United States at
more rapid rate than was even
accomplished by the Harrison
Grip when it swept the country
twenty-seven years ago. AS a mat
ter Of fact the present epidemic dis
ease is said to be nothing more nor
less than the grip, which made its
greatest sweep over America when
Benjamin Harrison was president,
with the posrible exception of pre-
cedlng epidemic Of the same disease
when William Henry Harrison had
his short experience in the presi-
Dental chair.
However there are differences be-
tween the present Flu and la
grippe or the grip, as it has been
known. especially during the cpl
demic periods. The present disease
is said to be one Of short life. run
ming its course, unless complica-
tions arise, in very few days
but complications seem more likely
and to occur more frequently than
was the case with the grip. for judg-
ing from the newspaper reports, we
believe the present death rate to be
greater than it was in the grip epi.
demic of twenty-seven ago. The
grip, at that time, rarely let loose q
victim in a few days, held a large
proportion Of them as long as 9
month, with many ups and downs
and the records will show thai

ed to be eventually fatal in a larg,
