Are American girls opposed to
kissing? The illuminating state
ments on osculation accredited to
Dr. Simon Louis Kauoff, A. M.,
M. D., before a meeting ol the
Bridgeport Philosophical Society
inspire this question. "Osculation
is the greatest disinfectant ever dis
covered. Kisses are dangerous
only when cold," says the author
ity. "Love is the mightiest force
for the creation of health and pro
longation uf life. We are suffer
ing from lovelessness." A com
posite humorous interview with
co-ed and college men obtained by
the news department of "Topics of
the Djy" lilms via kiss jokes in
American college magazines is
worth reading. The answers
"she" gave "his" questions seem
to prove itiat the girls heartily agree
with Dr. Kutzoffs claims for oscu
lant n ;
"What would you say if I kissed
you?"
1 wouldn t be in a position to
speak."
"1 wonder whether kissing is
bad for one or not !"
"Let's put our heads together
and find out."
"May I steala kiss sub-rosa?"
"Don't you think it would be
better sub-nosa?"
"What would you do if I kissed
you?"
"I'd call my brother."
"How old is he?"
"Two years old."
"Would it be wrong for you to
kiss me on the cheek?"
"Well, it might be a bit off col
or." "What would you do if I kissed
you?"
She pouted.
"Say, did you ever kiss a girl in
a quiet spot?"
"Yes, but the spot was only quiet
while I was kissing her."
"What's to prevent my kissing
you?" '
"Well, my goodness."
"It's a crime to steal a kiss from
me."
"Well, you're guilty too for re
ceiving stolen goods."
"I promise you I shall never
kiss you!"
"Do you always keep your
promises?"
"Well, I keep within the law."
Undoubtedly the girls see no
harm in kissing and rather like it,
which accords with Dr. Katzok's
theory but, their answers refute
the scientist's claim that "We are
suffering from lovelessness."

BY 1: D G A R A . GUEST,
The following beautiful lines were given us with request to publish.
This is a thing I would have you learn nothing is yours to keep,
And never you'll rest from the need of toil till the last, long final sleep;
There's never a place or a time in life when nothing you'll have to do,
Whatever the post you shall come to here, it shall call for the best in you.
You may dream of riches and all the joy which silver and gold can buy,
But the greater the wealth that shall come to you, the greater your care
shall lie; j
For the more that this life shall give to you, the more to life you must '
give, i
For this the great unwritten law, no man to himself can live.
Has God bestowed on you talents rare by which you may rise to fame? !
Then upon your soul He has laid the charge with courage to use the j
same;
Nor skill nor power can bring you ease, for this you shall find is true
He who has much to do with here, shall ever have much to do. j
For life and talents and wealth and fame are given to men in trust, !
And each must work with the gifts he has till his flesh returns to dust,
For this is the law which governs all and this is the common test
He that shall come to the best life has, must give to the world his best.
I DOUBT IT.
When a pair of red lips upturned to your own,
With no one to gossip about it,
Do you pray for endurance to let them alone ?
Well, may be you do but I doubt it.
When a sly little hand you're permitted to seize,
With a velvety softness about it,
Do you think you can drop it, with never a squeeze ?
Well, may be you can but I doubt it.
When a tapering waist is in reach of your arm,
With a wonderful plumpness about it,
Do you argue the point 'twixt the good and the harm?
Well, may be you do but I doubt it.
And if by these tricks you should capture a heart,
With a womanly sweetness about it,
Will you guard it and keep it, and act the good part?
WpII mnv be vou will but I doubt it.
NO SUBSTANCE IN DREAMS.

Common Superstitions.
The mind during sleep reminds
mo nf n nnuphtv child, writes Ma
rion Holmes in the Chicago Daily
News. With a normal person au
rino wnkine hours reason controls
it and when it seems inclined to let
loose, a foolish train of thought re
bukes it with "Nonsense! behave
yourself!" But when reason goes
to sleep and the mind has seasons
of wild capering. It makes you
dn ihinos that when awake would
scorch you with blushes. It causes
you to go to church dresseu in

and stockings, which you find you

whiskers when you already nave a

is nothing that it will not do uncor.
trolled by reason. Therefore I
never have had much faith in the

though there are persons who pin
their faith to those so canea warn
ings. We have heara tnem say.
"I dreamed last night I had lost a
tooth. That means bad news," or
"1 dreamed of walking among
mined huildines. That means that
somebody in the family is going to
be ill," and, like loriune telling,
the predictions that do not "make
good" are forgotten.
A recurrent dream is ol no im

stage setting with its incidents to

visions without ever reaching its
