T’: other day I read somewhere an eloquent plea for the abolition of kissing, &s ‘maudlin, meaningless, and unsanitary.” gainst it 1s all that kissing needs to make it the most If there WERE such A law o fascinating luxury of modern life. law, y girl would have to go about veiled like a Turkish beauty. There !s nothing Uke putting @ fence around any- thing to make {t irresistibly alluring to the average man. The only thing that keeps Kis#ing within the bounds of moderation is that it {s—so easy! Personally, I don't kiss “girls.” No; I am not claiming @ halo! Tam not fn the class with the “unkissed Dowie.” Far from it! In fact there ARE girls—two or fifty—who, if they chose to TELL—but then, kissed girls tell no tales. I merely mean to say that I am a sentimental epicure, | and do not kiss “girls,” as a habit, nor for fun, nor as a pastime, nor for curlosity, nor even in order to flatter them. Most men are under the impression that a kiss is always a Kiss, This is as foolish as to imagine that a cigar is always | @ cigar, The man who would kiss any girl, at any time and under any circum- @tances, would smoke a cabbage. He has no sense of distinction. I discovered, way back in my early twenties, that a daily diet of kisses, @ daily diet of quail on toast, would soon dull my taste and destroy my enthusi- @em. And when a man loses his enthusiasm for a thing it has no more @ttraction for him than a dead cigarette.

I honestly beteve that the everage woman would rather kiss a poodle or a baby any day. And yet, most men cannot understand why a woman will appear incensed when one man kisses her, and complimented when another kisses her. It’s all in ghe “WAY,” old chap, belleve me, There are many varieties of kisses—the kiss of Qove, the kiss of sentiment, the kiss of curiosity, the kiss of amusement, the kiss of awlactty, and the (husbandly) kiss of—hablt; and a girl knows them all by heart and instinct.
