The Whole Akt op Kissing. — People will kiss, yet not one in a hundred knows how to extract bliss from lovely lips no more than they know how to mako diamonds from charcoal. And yet it is easy. This littlo item is not alono for young beginners, but for the many who go at it like hunting coons or shelling corn. First know whom you nro to kiss. Don't muke a mistake, although mintukes may be good. Don't jump like n trout for a fly, 1 and smack a woman on the neck, or on the I end of her nose, or slop over on her waterfall

or bonnet ribbon, in haste to get through. The gentleman should bo a littlo tho tallest. Ho should have a clean face, a kind eye, and a mouth full of expression instead of tobacco. Don't kiss everything, including nasty little dogs, male or female. Don't sit down to it. Stand up. Need not bo anxious to get in a crowd. Two persons are a plenty to corner and catch a kiss. More persons spoil tho sport. Stand firm, it won't hurt any after you are used to it. Take the left hand of the lady in your right hand. Let your hand go to— any placo out of the way. Throw the left hand | gently over tho shoulder of the lady, and let tho hand foil down upon tho right side, toward the belt. Don't be in a hurry. Draw her gently to your loving heart. Her head will fall lightly upon your shoulder, and a hand' somo shoulder strap it makes ! Don't be in a hurry. Send a little life down your left arm, and let it know ifs business. Her left hand is in your right. Let there bo an expression to that— notiiko tho grip of a vice, but a gentle 1 clasp, full of electricity, thought and respect. Don't be in a hurry. Her head lies carelessly on your shoulder! You are nenrly heart to heart ! Look down into her half- closed eyo ! Gently, yet manfully, press her to your bosom. Stand firm and Providence will givo you strength for the ordeal. Be brave but do not be in a hurry. Her lips almost open ! Lean lightly forward with your head, not the body. Take' good aim — the soul rides tho storm, trouble and sorrow of the lips meet— the eyes close— the heart openß life (don't be in a hurry) — henven opens before, tho world shoots from under your feet as a meteor flashes across the evening sky (don't be nfraid), thenorves dance beforo the just created altar of love as zephyrs dance with tho dew trimmed flowers — tho heart forgets its bitterness—and tho art of kissing is learned. No noise, no fusa, no fluttering and squirming liko a hook-impalod worm. Kissing don't hurt j and it don't require brass to moke it legal. Don't jab on a beautiful mouth as if spearing frogs ! Do nob mus her hair, scratch down her collar, bito her cheek, squizzlc her rich ribbons, and leave her mussed, rumpled, nnd flummused ! Don't grab and yank the lady as if she were a struggling colt.
