Until the opening of the university Inst year Esquirol had been classed nx asa “woman hater.” He fell from that | elevation on his return home from the summer vacation. About fifty letters of distinctive feminine handwriting came to the famity~tome—all ad- dressed to John H.—Iin the first week. The family gasped, but later became accustomed to it, But despite this flop Esquirol con- tends that all “queening should .be done on a kissless basis.” The kiss, he says, Ig unnecessary, It actually takes the joy out of companionship, distracts one’s attention from the more ideal- istic comradeship, and? anyway, any- body can kiss, but it's only a few who can réfrain from kissing or being kissed. When news of the Esquirol’s kiss- legs attitude on life came to the ears of the New York University chapter of Psi Upsilon, an tmmediate inves- tigation was called. The college in- vestigaters probed into John H.'s past, present and future, They also quizzed young women with whom he had been seen. They asked his brother, Joe» Esquirol, and other members of the Esquirol family. Finding all Esquirol's claims borne out by every witness, he was unan- imously elected a member and made President of the Pst U Purity League, to which only five men have been elected. The “kissless” youth, who was centre on the N. ¥. U. football team, good at any position in baseball, manager of the track team, a singer and an actor in school productions, modestly declined to go into detal! about his theories except to say that: “| don't believe in kissing. In the first place, there are better ways of showing affection. In the second place, It cheapens the kiss when it is given freely to those for whom you have no undying, deep-rooted and true-from-the-heart love. _ || FIXES SUGAR PRICE AT 30C.
