Even crime today presents an old

man for a ride in the clden days or,
rather for walk, pushing him off some

nothing new. Julius Caesar was snatched

"The single tube of the Lincoln Tunnel,

only thlrty-six dramatic situations in

passion. They were exhausted in the
Garden of Eden itself by Adam and Eve.

BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST-My husband
and I were planning to 60 with
another couple to big dance in town
when the day before out-of-town rela-
tives just arrived without any notice
at all. We tried to persuade them to
60 to the dance with us, but they said
they did not care for dancing and also
they had not come prepared with eve
ming clothes. We even tried to supply
the clothes. but no. they would not go.
We felt that we should go since we
had promised our friends. We ex-
planned the situation and they seemed
very sincere in wanting us to go with
out them. They stayed home with
the radio and the dog. Next day they
acted hurt and before leaving re-
marked they we're glad their visit had
not interfered with our pleasure. I
certainly feel that they have branded
me as discourteous hostess and can't
help wondering whether I was wrong.

was that of your guests, who came
without asking you If it would be con-

there is plenty Of room and also that
her hostess will feel free to do just
as you did.

prominent citizen and his wife,
there were six other married couples,
one widoWer and three widows, II
single men and boys and 10 young
ladies and girls. Mistletoe was in
evidence and many kisses were given
back and forth. The widoWer was a
disagreeable and disapproving old
man, and it was found at the end of
the party that he had kept record Of
the kisses. 1t was found that every
body had kissed everybody else, with
the following qualifications: No male
kissed a male, of course. No mar
ried man kissed a married woman,

boys kissed the young ladies and girls

other. If each kiss between two per-
sons is counted as one kiss. how many
kisses we're given at the party?
