From his appearance I decided that a soul kiss must be decidedly less lurid and disturbing than-the-common-or piazza variety known to Vesta~ta Wiesta as a sense kiss. But when I returned later the seeress assured me this was far from being tHe case. “Compared with the ecstasy of a soul kiss,” she declared emphatically, “the sense kiss 1s the merest zephyr.

My soul name, Vesta La Viesta,” she ex- pounded, “means godde&t (sic) of all seers.” “By goddest you mean most godlike?” I interrupted. “Yes,” she acquiesced, and thereby spoiled a theory I had formed, for Vesta being the name of a Roman goddess opposed to all kisses, whether of the soul or sense,.I had surmised that the seeress’s second name was mere- ly the first with a kink put in it—perhaps by the soul kisses. “How do you teach this egal Kies?” I ventured, “and how long does it take to learn?” “The soul kiss,” Vesta La Viesta expounded, “must be exchanged by two ripened soults.
