Realistic Kiss
deep Problem,
NOW, here's a newspaper story
\ that we refuse to believe.

III that we refuse to believe.
Miss Isabel Miller, who sang
in the choir of the Congregational
Church Of Simsbury, Conn.-so the
story goes-played in an amateur
theatrical performance entitled
kathleen. 1t was part of her role
in the play to kiss the hero. She
kissed him so realistically-this,
mind you, is the story that was
printed in the fewspapers-that the
officials of the church expelled her
from the choir.
How can this story be truei Sure
ly there must be an error somewhere.
If Isabel's part in the play re-
quired kissing the hero, she must
kiss him. Is that not sol Of course.
if the Simsbury Church objects to
amateur theatricals or to kissing per
Sc, Isabel was wrong from the begin
ning-ab initio, so to speak-and
must be thrown out of court as we'll
as out of her job. But taking it for
granted that the church did not OBJ
ject to the theatricals or the kissing,
but simply kicked at the realism,
how did they expect her to kiss the
heroi In other words, how ought
a kiss to be kissedi
The psychology Of this is deep
So is the philosophy Of it. But, as
far as we can CLEAN, after careful
study of the science of kissing, when
a girl kisses, she ought to kiss. If it
is not real kiss it ism a kiss at all.
And if it is a real kiss, why, natur-
ally, it is realistic.
The purpose of the stage, as Shake
speare said, is to hold the mirror up
to nature. If the mirror reflects
nature, why slam the mirrori
If, now, the officials of the Sims
bury Church object to kissing per Sc,
they would have a perfect right to
do their best to abolish kissing.
In such a crusade they would
probably find much opposition, but,
on the other hand, they would also
find considerable sympathy. You
must remember that many people
in this world are opposed to kissing,
either on account of the nature of
the osculatory act in itself or on
account of their personal expe-
rience.
Kissing is a vast and deep sub
ject. The one-kiss- in-a-lifetime which
is always remembered, the rain
check kiss which can always be re-.
newed and, above all, the kiss that
never was kissed at all, but is merely
a Pigment of Dante-like imaSina-
tion---all these have their two sides
inside and outside, so to speak.
And the Declaration of Independ-
ence, in the "pursuit-of-h Happiness"
clause, gives every citizen the right
to seek them all or to be sore on
them all.
Granting, however, that the Of
fic;als of this church admit that
Isabel had a right to act a kiss, why
squeal because she acted it welli
Unless the officials of this church
are Of that type, that like to regu-
late womens dress, we cannot be-
lieve it possible that they object to
kissing at all.

ARGENTINE SUFFERS
FROM LAWLESS BAND
Gang Of 1000 Carries on Whole,
sale Plundering System

Buenos Aires, April s.-The Far
South of the Argentine republic has
been the scene lately of q series of
adventures the account of which
reads as though it had been lifted
from some United States story of the
wild West in its palmy days of
lawlessness.

the territory of Santa Cruz, dissatis-
fed with the humdrum life of sheep

the occupation of the great majority
of the people in those remote regions.
converted themselves into band of
bushrangers and comm enced to hold
up the inhabitants in the best Jesse
james style. Their xample was
quickly followed by their fellows on
many other establishments and
among them they soon ''mobilized"
formidable gangs of desperados which
terrorized the best parts of the ter
ritory with absolute impunity. Their
number was estimated at over 1000.
The bandits, who were we'll armed
with rifles and mounted on the best
horses, raided all the likeliest estab-
lishments, burned the buildings, stole
all the valuab1es to be found and
obliged the employees to join their
ranks. Even when they omittede this
last outrage they would leave the
owner and his employees in a help
less position by carrying off all the
horses on the place.
In certain instances they did
great deal of wanton damage such as
the wrecking of shearing machinery
and the cutting of boundary fences.
The panic they caused among the
sheep farmers and others was so
great that many of them abandoned
their properties and fed
The police had more than one en-
counter with the enemy but suf-
fered defeat with many casualties.
The Argentine government finally
sent cavalry to deal with the BAN
dts. Some of the milder spirits
among the rebels gave themselves
up while others, numb ering about
200, took to the mountains and still
others fed to the adjoining territory
of Chubut. where they are reported
still to be making trouble.
