The Kiss

1t was a glorious afternoon. Poets
and writer's with wide vocabulary of
adjectives would have revelled in de-
scribing 1t. Lenora MOntrOse sank into
a comfortable big chair on the veran-
da and endeavored to enjoy every
breath of it. But even enjoying after
moons becomes tiresome, especially to
girls of LenOra's type, SO she rum
mayed 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-
prevail 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
proud of it at first; and she had read
1t SO many times it was impressed on
her memory for all time to come The
paragraph under her picture was the
one that CALLED her most. The arti-
Gle was practically all about her ia
Their, but that one paragraph about
herself was the one she hated. She
could see 1t in her minds eye staring
out at her morning, 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 en-
phatically. Doctor Montrose Is en-
deavoring to secure legislation to
make kissing Illegal"

refinement and education, too, that be-
wildered her Who was Dick and
where did he come from? she asked
herself dozen times a day. She was
sure there was q romance connected
with him and she was going to find
out all about it. Perhaps 1T 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 exerted in one kick at the
magazine at her feet and it shot from
the veranda and lit at the feet of Dick
COcnrane as ne rO'lnueu the corner Oh
the house.

caught sight of Lenora's flushed face
and whistled softly. "What has been

was the only one who had ever dared

and it's beastly publisher and inter-
viewer. l hate every word in It,"
He ran his fingers through the pages
and opened the book at the article
that had caused all the disturbance.
"Why here is your picture in it."

The surprise in his voice was well
feigned.

timer she exclaimed, impatiently. 'It
is horrible picture and that article
Is idiotic. l can't understand father
bOthering about such trivial things
when there are so many big things in
the world to engage his attention"
"Then you do think kissing is all
right?' he asked hopefully. "You
never made such statement-this
article is lie?"
Il did make that statement. The
article was true then, but I've changed
my views. l was only silly girl

smiled.

was on the defensive in a minute

'"That is not what has kept you
back. Was it because of the article?"
she asked.
Dick scaled the veranda railing and
stood by her side.
Before / answer that question will
you let me kiss you?" he asked Gag
erly.
LenOra blushed, but she did not re-
fuse. That was all the answer Dick
needed.
"Now," he said, as he sat down be-
side her, II can tell you what 1 have
wanted to tell you for the past month.
1t was not because of that article
that 1 didn't kiss you, but it was be-
cause Of it that l did. BY so doing I

II knew it." Lenora cried, as she
jumped to her feet "YOu have de-
ceived me. You have been trifing with
my affections, just to win five thou
sand dollars. How cruel Of you! 7"
There was an Outburst of tears before
she could start for the house.
"StOp, Nora! !" Dick interceded, seri-
ously. II have something more to
say"
He had almost to drag her back to
the chair. eff you will give me a
chance l will set everything right" he
pleaded. Il did come to trif1e with
your affections. Your picture and the
article came under discussion at my
club, and 1 got mixed up in an argu-
ment about it that resulted in the
wager being made. 1 guaranteed to
kiss you, without using force, before
three months were over. Tomorrow is
the last day. 1 was beginning to think
that 1 was going to lose out, too. You
see, when 1 made the wager I didn't
figure on falling in love with you. If it
hadn't been for that I would have
stolen kiss long ago, but every time
l had half an opportunity l changed
my mind. l respected you and what

However she could have made such
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 her
father. She was just fresh from
school and hadn't thought of anything
but books and what great man her
father was. How was she to know
that some day she would want to be
kissed?
Her change of views all came about

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
ENDORSES sc CARFARE
Tells Federation of Associations
Raise Is Just.

The Federation of Citizens As
sociations will make a stand for
straight five cent fares IL it fol-
lows the recommendation of its
committee on public utilities.
This recommendation. coupled
with an announcement that the
committee is in favor of granting
universal transfers. is the sub
stance of a report submitted to
the federation yesterday by Will
liam Nick. Clayton, chairman of the
committee. The report is a gem
eral review of the case. founded on
public hearings held last week.
Belief is stated in the report that
the citizens have scored a point in
looking to the ANAL gamation of the
companies and the consequent issue
of universal transfers.
The committee in its report points
out the immense increase in the
cost OF supplies and materials,
which in some cases has advanced
100 per cent since the beginning of
the war. The report further points
out that the sum total derived
from the fare increase plus the
present largely Increased passenger
receipts will both be absorbed in
the present operating expenses OF
the companies and none left to in
crease dividends or add to surplus
profits"
The committee looks with favor
upon the statements of officials OF
the companies before the commits
sioners which they consider were
full and complete.

Mrs. Browns representations in

clared her husband was in the habit
of staying out at night and would re-
fuse to speak to her for days at a

said:
