Dorothy Dix TALKS
Concerning Kisses-e.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman WFiUs=.

Why women lay such stress on be-
ing kissed husbands never figure out.
Neither does anybody else. No woman
could tell you, to save her life. why she
feels ill-used or neglected if her hus-
band fails to give her a peck on the
cheek when he starts to business of
morning Still less does she know
why she makes the number OF his
kisses test of love.
She does, however, and 1t is a fact
that woman will believe that the man
who beats and starves her, and makes
her work to support him, loves her
devotedly if he kisses her twenty times
a day, while she will doubt the affec-
ton of a husband who works himself
to death to indulge her in luxuries if
he happens to be poor kisser.
Certainly nothing more Turing. or
unromantic, or unsentimental than the
matutinal kiss with which women in
agined- For nobody has a heart or a
soul at breakfast time. These are
organs we develop later in the day.
Early in the morning we are nothing
but stomach and brains and hands.
We are eager to get to work. We
are full of plans of action. We are
not thinking of our feelings. or dwell
ing upon the state of our affections
And We don't want to kiss; we want
our coffee and to get busy.
And. aItho they don't know. IT.
women are no more in the mood for
kissing than are men. II you will
| notice, you will observe that a woman
always turns the back of her head,
or her left ear to her husbands ham
and-eggs salute. She doesn't even
take down her curl papers to receive
1t, so little heart interest has she in
it. And no woman who wanted kiss.
or expected to thrill to one, would fail
| to provide the proper scenery.
The truth is. We cannot Go anything
every day without its becoming a
habit. Nor can we do anything that
we are expected to do, and reminded
of If we forget it, and called down
for it If we don't do 1t, without our
coming to look upon it as a duty, and
which we loathe because it is a duty.
Nor is there anything of which we so
soon become satiated as too much
| sweets. No candy maker ever eats
chocolate creams.
If wives would only remember these
few elementary peculiarities of human
make their other kisses few and far
| apart, and something to be sought iIIS
stead of being thrust upon their hus-
bands, they would revive their hus-
bands interest in kissing and occa-
sionally get a kiss that had the old
time flavor.
Women do we'll to apply the acid
test to kisses. anyhow. Judas betrayed
his Lord with kiss. and thousands
every day. For there is no such easy
way to blind a woman as to kiss her
eyes shut.
AS a rule the more a man kisses, the
less he is to be trusted. So beware,
ladies, of the kissing bugl

tide of crimson flooding her features.
He saw in her eyes the response that
she could not put into words, and the
next moment the disaster to the back
pasture was forgotten and she was in
his arms.

To which Mary could only reply that
she loved him. indeed she did, and she
didn't care-didn't care a pin about
the back pasture. Which was all very
right and natural under the circum-
stances, and they went home hand in

The cows had long ago been driven to

We chart our own seas. We are the
pilots of cur own course. Each Of us
has his own ship to sail. But as one
has truly said, 10 man can expect a
ship to come to him which he has not
sent out.
That which we have and held, is
what We have already given out-and
away.
Your ship will come In some day all
right--if you have sent it to its way
Solitude is sweet ana beautiful
wherever there is a heart that is warm
with sunshine OF its own giving.
Equip your ship-then send it out!
And like love, which brings its own
self back, your ship viii surely return

rarest Of treasures

that God take good care OF him for

small. It's the same with US all. But
unless we set sail with calm courage
in full faith-and send our little bark

For any organization formed for the
purpose Of supplying Topeka with
srsuch-needed dwelling houses the road
to success and a fair return on its
investment is marked. 1t lies in the
direction of standardized houses. Costs
Of construction can be reduced far be
low those that would be incurred in
the erection of a single house. Let
Us suppose the letting OF a contract for
10 buildings at one time, all alike.
There would be required but one set
q plans and one superintendent of
construction. The contractor could
work on a much smaller percentage
Of profit owing to his opportunity of
buying material in so large quantities,
and the fact that the work on all the
houses could be carried on simulta-
neously. Houses erected on this plan
would sell readily. When one had
been marketed and a price established
purchasers would come forward and
pay it for the others without question.
