SCOTTISH KISSES
AAIT S 1 NO 1 IKI I NATIONS In a hook of reminiscences. Dr. Sir James Crichton-Browne, vice-presi-dent and treasurer of the Royal Institution .says : "Olas.uow's kisses are sound and satisfying: Edinburgh’s short, crip and airy: Dundee’s resonant; and Aberdeen’s like the boom of a gun.” Scottish lassies generally agree as to the Dmnleeit.es, admitting that recently a millglrl’s sweel heart. charged with a I trench ol’ the peace, pathetically pleaded he was merely kissing. It is also alleged that when migrants are leaving Dundee the reverberations of their kisses down the engine’s whistle. Aberdeen agrees that the local kisses go off with a pop; nevertheless. they are sweet and lovely, liecause they tire- genuine anti sincere. Olasgow girls are delighted with Sir James’ tribute Although they do not hesitate to distribute their favours freely, they say, a kiss of real affection is certainly satisfying. But Edinburgh’s maidens declare that /when Sir James was collecting local colour he must have played postman’s knock too nervously. Edinburg's kisses, they assort, are infinite in variety and very few are “short, crisp and airy.”
