fEW FACTS ABOUT KISSES.
Hrt' Trembling on the Lip
Yl TbrllHng with Delight.
Kissing is an ecstacy. It goes "by favor,
. goer through favored and favorite
tiiat electrifying subtlety that no Ian
V, can express, says the London Satur
J Review. It is a science as old as cre
7 Eve learned it in Paradise from an
with a white fur collar and wings of
JjLwho taught her ail its beauties, vir
1 md varieties. A kiss has as many di
ctions as the world has people. In ev
J grade of society there is kissing. Go
there you will, to w hat country or among
, hat people, and you are tolerably sure of
facilities for kissing. A kiss
tnauig
is the seal of affection. Byron valued a kiss
bvits strength, and measured its strength
frits length, but the mensuration of kisses
tent out of fashion long ago. De Levis
ok a kiss the door that opens the citadel
of the heart, and poet and people of all
us have found mysterious virtue, bitter,
set magic and elixirs, and lotions of
gnster or less potency, but the acme of
tanaa happiness, wrote a poetess, is that
we may kiss whom we please and please
Thorn you kiss. A kiss to be a success
must have mutual interest; there must be
i reciprocity in the operation, or somebody
suffers the punishment of disgust. Kiss
ing an unwilling pair of lips is as mean a
rxtorv as robbing a bird's nest, and kising
too willing ones is about as un fragrant a
pastime as making bouquets of dande
lions. .
At the start the average man makes a
botch of kissing. The beauty of a kiss lies
in its impulsiveness and . its impressibility
nor is it possible to make the first one too
brief. There is danger in the attempt to
I make the, initial kiss complete. The girl
won't have it. There is too much audaci
oas avarice about it. The thing to do is to
go at the fair creature's lips slowly, so as
cot to frighten her. It is to be expected
tat she will draw them away from the
post of attack, but instead of retreat the
ti for heroism to do is to kiss on some
place-the cheek, the temple, behind her
eroron the hair. A womans fancies are
a bunching as the trees of the forest, and
however unsatisfactory to the swain the
displaced kiss may have been, it will, if
kit to itself, make the recipient wondrous
indulgent next time. She will caress the
spot where your lips, have been, look at the
p'ace with a hand glass, and dream of the
one who placed it there. When sufficient
progress has been made in lovmaking to
varrent the ideal" kiss, take it methodically,
kh both hands and "the gentle "touch
that love can teach." Let the left arm go
about not her neck, to wrinkle a crepelisse
niche-but about her shoulders. Take
chin in the ricrht hanA allowing the
--3"- O
Liree fingers to touch the pretty white
frjoat, holding the face with the thumb
forefinger, which will form a sort of
for love's conquest. Move her head
10 one side and a little backward, and ap-
foachmg so as to make the quartet of lips
escn'be the diameters of an imaginary
Huare, kiss her twirp th srnnd double
'ength of its very short predecessor.

fountains of moon light. But fairest
where all were fair, peerless in the exuber
ance of her trinmphant victory was the
wife the bride of the day, the heroine of
tne night. Never had she looked so sur
passingly beautiful a veritable queen of
the Faries, as dainty as a drop of dew, as
piercing to the eye as a flash of light Her
dress was a sheen of wonderful mingling of
misty lace, with '.he sheen of satin and
glimmering showers of pearl; diamonds
glitters on her bodice, like sunlight on
white foam; her jewels flashed gloriously
on her round white throat and in her tinv
shell-like ears, white masses of her golden
hair, were coiled to the top of her small
head, and these caught by a pearl circlet
of rose brilliance, yet more lustrous than
the light of the gems she wove was the
deep ardent glory of her eyes, dark as
night and luminous as stars; more delicate
than the filmy robes that draped her was
the pure, pearl like whiteness of her neck,
just sufficiently displayed to be graceful,
without suggesting immodesty, for Ital
ian women do not uncover their bosoms
for the casual inspections of strangers, as
is the custom of the English and Ger
man sisters : they know well enough that
any lady venturing to wear a "decollette"
dress would find it impossible to obtain ad
mittance to a Court ball at the Palazzo
Quirinale. She would be looked upon as
one of questionable class, and no matter how
high her rank and station, would run the
risk of ejection ; as at One time it did unfort
unately happen to an English Peeress who,
ignorant of Italian customs, went to an
evening reception in Rome arrayed in very
low bodice. Her remonstrances were in
vain; she was politely but firmly refuses
admittanc ; though told she might gain her
point by changing her costume.

might to show that we are filled with glee
Then let us to the pic-nic hie, our basket
