Kiss v. Fee.
A Norfolk clergyman tells an amusing > anecdote in connection with his :first marriage -fee. As soon as the ceremony was 'ended he stepped forward to imprint the customary salute on -the bride's cheek, when the groom intervened. "N-Ga yeou don't, parson," he said sheepishly. " I kin dv thet myself." ; The pardon gracefully yielded the point, and .the groom .gave the bride a resounding smack on her lips. Then turning to J.he clergyman he said: I "Yecu bean't married, hey? No? Well, j if so be as "yeou care to dv without the fee ; yoou kin kiss her oncet ! " | As thp parpon dared not run the risk of j making himself unpopular at the outset he ! gallantly kissed the lady, whilst the groom | complacently pocketed the fee and withdrew 1 with his bride.
