Concerning Kisscs-1.
81 DOROTHY DIX
RoraArs Highest raid Wsmaz- WSASaF.


The other day a woman applied to
the court for an order restraining her
husband from kissing her so often.
She said that he kissed her three hum
dred times a day and she was fed up
on kisses, and satiated with demon
STATIONS of affection, and desired
surcease of them.
women are queer creatures. and
there is 10 satisfying them" sighed
the magistrate as he signed an injuuc-
ton against the overly affectionate
husband. most women who come to
this court complain that they are
not kissed enough, and want the law
to make their. husbands kiss them
oftener."
And there you are. up against one
of the biggest problems of matrimony,
which is TO fix the proper number Of
kisses which should constitute the
preserve the nice balance which makes
kisses plentiful enough and yet keeps
them in the sweetmeat class.
For, alas, we have no Sentimental
Hoover to ration kisses, and tell us
just how many per diem constitute
romantic profiteering, or how few will
starve affection to death, or just what
amount of OSCILLATION it requires to
keep a womans heart nourished with
out it's cIoying on her palate, and max
ing ner cry out with SOlOnlOns ecu
me on apples. Stay me with flaggons
for 1 am sick of love"
OF course this attempt to regulate
the amount of kissing is Of no inter
est to the great majority OF married
men, except as they are interested in
any protective measure for their own
greater safely and peace. Most mar
ried men hand out the daily domestic
kiss just they put lightning rods
on their houses-to avert the conse-
quenoes of storms. And they are in
no danger whatever of OVERRIDING IT, or
forcing their wives TO call for help.
The average man does all of the
kissing in which he takes an active
personal interest in the days before
marriage when he has to steal kiss
or beg one When it becomes his legal
duty to kiss a woman every time he
comes and goes, he does it in the same
spirit in which he pays the grocery
BILL. Kissing has become merely a
part of matrimony. one of its obliga-
lions. and he meets it like a man.
Heaven knows he is no weIcher.
