Learned men in the middle ages, who pent niueh lime in discussion of tiiviali- and in hair splitting, enumerated a host nf different kinds of kisses, though they, after all, Wound up the whole mal - r by aduiilting that there is only one rue kiss the kiss of hue and they put the kiss between women very fat luwn the list as a thing of no account or value, being thus in accord wilh Ihe con clusions of all sensible people who have tudied the ilortion. Still, we have to do with facts, and women, for all that limy be said against the practice, do kiss each other, and in purMiit of knowledge on ihe subject a-tked my wile whether she louml any iisurc in any member of her own sex 'ooh!"was all the reply she deigned o given, I hoiigli presently, aniT appar ently cogitating and arriving at the con clusion that this ejaculation, expressive enough in lis way, could not help me very much, she made some remark" which were altogether too flattering to mvscll. md by implication to the male sex, to be here set down at largo. Ulti mately I managed by pressing the qucs tion to licit something definite on the uhject, the gist of which was that when women kiss each other they do so merely as a matter of form, meaning by it, for tho most part, no more than a mere handshake and often less, for there may be warmth in that, but nature has denied the possibility of warmth existing in kiss between members of the Bamc bcx. Sometimes, but very seldom, women kiss each other because they like each other, They also kiss because they don't liki each other, and in that case they arc sure to never lose an opportunity of kissin; each other most punctiliously. Thi may hate to do it over so much, and y whenever they meet they eagerly mak a pretty little dab at each other's faces, which passes muster in the eyes of out siders us iiuito a toueliiug exhibition ol womanly kiudnessand affection, though those who know the state of affairs ouly smile sod perhaps rouiark: "How Mrs. A. and Mrs. R. du hate each other, be sure! Sec how sweetly they kus! The wholehearted kiss of young girls as yet iunocent ol the ways and deceitful ness of the world is a pleasant thing in itself, but once lhey are iuiti ited into the wiles of society there is no social uiage which jars more ou their tender feelings before these b :coiue case hardened than the feminine habit of kisfing, which so trauspareully cloaks all mauner of un pleasant and uncharitable thoughts.

This query has always been answered n the negaiivcpbut Mrs. Potter Palmer nks the girls are nowadays deciding ill Ihe affirmative. Mrs. Palmer is the com! most popular nnd widely known wnuiun in America, and her alwrvntions ure not idle words, hut are entitled to ne akrn seriously. Wc quote: "Why, if this tendency increases, the oung women will bo compelled to niak proposals of marriage or remain single. They have come dangerously near it al ready. The half concealed seeking, lli management, the tact, the ingenuity, the ding, are now all in the hands of tl mils and thi-ir motheis. .Nothing re mains but fur the n to sciz: a filling ment, to kncid at the young man's feel, declare undying love aud propose inatii iniiny. It makes my heart pick within me to hear gill- telephoning for young men, begging for their company at tennis or in a drive, or out boating mere de vices and pretexts fur getting at the young man himself. The gitls are jut as sweet and lovely as ever, but there is revolutions in social conditions. I fay it with pain that the tendency of what is known as our higher society is towards the European system. Some of theprin cipal phases of European society arc ab horrent. It will be a sad day for Amer ica when they arc adopted here and al ready they are much imitated, especially in the east. Are our well to do young men in tho first stages of the European process? Do they believe their early manhood should be devoted to roaming and license, and that matrimony should como only wilh wcariucss? I hope not." Ex. ADVERTISEMENTS. Easily, Quickly, Permanent!)
