By Associated Press, New York, March 20.—Mothers who wish to follow the latest fads in the nursery must equip their children with printed labels bearing the words “No -\le Bese” (Do not kiss Tne). The tags, siKuimens which have just reached this country are the result of a Euro pean campaign agains-t the promiscu ous kissing of children. The wording is in Spanish, because the idea is said to have originated with Que(>n Victoria of Spain. On hygi‘nic grounds, so the story goes, the iueen directed that her three childen sliould not be embraced by all and sundry court attendants who de- s^vired merely to show' tl.eir loyalty.
