 "There is not enough of that affec- tionate impulsiveness in our AmeIi- can men, The wife in this case-cer tainly did not have grounds for di- vorce, That woman must be supersen- sitive."
 Mrs. Benjamin Fuelleman, promi- nent club woman, agrees with Mrs, Jacques that dock Or anything as public is not the place for husband to kiss his wife.
 BE GIVEN IN PRIVATE"
 q think caresses between husband and wife should be given in private with no outsider to desecrate the mo- ment," said Mrs. Fuelleman. q do not think, however, that one would be justified in seeking divorce because of public kiss"
  convention, Mrs. John B. Brisbane, of Milwaukee's West Side Mothers Club, declared.
 Kisses are too sacred to be given in public" she said. However, I do not believe one should sue for divorce because of public kiss. It is too trivial happening to bring such dras- tic action"
 "A public kiss between man and wife is not impolite," Mrs. Archie Tegt- meyer, another wellknown club wom- an. announced emphatically.
 Certainly husband and wife have the right to kiss when and where they please. I should think Mrs. Mllls would have been more pleased than anything else. She should be glad her husband cared enough for her to let others see it."

TAD'S TID-BITS

NEW YORK, March 2O-Alex Greg gains furnishes me with the informa- tion as to how Mysterious Billy Smith" came to be called "Mysteri- ous," says Tim McGrath in an Fran cisco paper.
 I stated in a preceding chapter that he was already called that when he was brought to me from my brothers stable, where he was working as a hostler.
 Greggains knew him before that and explains just exactly how the name was given by Captain Cook, one of the editors of the Boston Police News, very bold, outspoken paper that was published in the EOS.
 Smith, says Alex, engaged in a num- Der of minor fights before I got him.
 The first fight Greggains remem- bers him in was a four-round prelim mary in the old California Club with Frank Purcell, who later also came into prominence as a fighter.
 Smith was just gangly boy then and Purcell bested him; he beat him up so badly, in fact, that Smith crawled on his hands and knees to his corner.
 From then on however, Smith i'm proved in his fighting and had whipped number of boys when Alex went East for his second fight with Buffa- To Costello
 When Alex arrived in Boston he called on Captain Cook, and during the course of their conversation as to af- fairs on the Pacific Coast the captain asked Alexx to tell him something about boy named Billy Smith," who was occasionally mentioned in the San Francisco papers as a 1ikely-looking boy.
 why" replied Alex, ''he came from Boston. I think; you ought to know something about him.
 The captain, becoming interested, started an investigation and found, as said in my article, that Smith was born in St. John and that he was raised in Chelsea, a suburb of Bos ton.
 But that is all he could find out about him. He couldn't find his folks or anybody who knew who they were.
 So the captain. when Billy began whipping the best of them, kept refer ring to him as Mysterious Billy Smith," and he name stuck hard through all his years of fighting, and sticks to him to this day.
