"K tttss or not to1 Kiss' it's
USUALLY NOT TO, SAYS M'LISS
The Habit of Oscillation Is a Very Human One,
She Opines, Albeit It Should
Be Restrained , ,
"TOttD, ' says DeAn Swift In his "Polite Conversation-," ,"I wonder what fool
i-l. It was thai first Invented HlsslnR."
Anam. prbbably. But, In tho meantime, la thcro Uny subject more' discussed,
rnord foUJAl of more praised than tho osculatory one? Like mosquitoes, kisses
and JUssern are; Constantly ljelng awaited. If It Isn't some prophylftatla professor,
It's the' park policeman. And yet klsMng continues to be tho most universal, tho
mostT;htlmln habit on 'tnrth. Show mo tho man or woman who doesn't kiss
somebody or something? and you show a creature set apart from tho rest of
his kind. .
Kisses arc tho most paradoxical. things In tho world; they make homes and
they break them, llkowlae kingdoms. 'They make men and they unmako them.
They can causo tho most acuto happiness at least tho poets tell us bo nnd tho
'most Profound misery. Thdy are Indulged In and enjoyed by tho yokel nnd
tho esthete they con cost nothing whatever nnd they can cost the soul of a
man.. It all depondsj ' -
Comes now a correspondent with tho following: ,
"Dear Jt'Uss PJcaso answer Just why it Hn't proper' for n young man to
tako a lady's arm when out walking. Also why she- Bhoiitd not allow him to kiss
her unless engaged. VEItONiCA."
Heverslng your questions, Veronica, In tho order of their Importance, thcro
aro many iasbns why It Is not proper for a joung woman to kiss a man to
whom she Is not engaged. Furthermore, thore aro many reasons why sho
shouldn't kiss him too often, even If she Is engaged.
In tho flrst plate, tjio eugcnlsts are really right about It: Indiscriminate kHs
lng Is unhygienic Secondly, If you kiss this young man who Is not your fiance
you aro likely to kiss that one. Tho habit growR. Ultimately you'll bo wanting
to kiss them all, and, as Is tho naturo of the beasts, no ono will be wanting to
kits youi Men always cravo that which Is withheld from them. Glvo of your
favors sparingly It you wish them greatly to bo desired. Then, too, Veronica,
you ought not to want to kiss a man to whom ou arc not engagod. It shows
on unbecoming grcgarlousness on your part.
Finally, remember tho man who kisses and tells Is very frequently to be met
with. Men Uko to boast of their conquests, even ns women do. nut usually they
don't marry the women whom they have conquered. Thercforo It's not only
Immoral to kiss Indiscriminately, hut it's unwise.
As for a man taking a woman's arm In public. It's nn expression of Intimacy
which would be better unexpressed, for the slmplo reason that such public
demonstrations are construed by Anglo-Saxons to be vulgar. Why aro they
vulgar? Because that small minority which ortnbllshes customs and manners.
and whoso dicta tho big majority bows boforo even ns the pagnns bowed before
the golden calf, decrees them to bo vulgar. There Is no appeal from that decision.
If you're going to bo well-mannered In tho conventional ,cnst- of tho world, you'll
have to obey many mandates that society, seemingly without rhyme or icason,
Imposes.
Don't nsk why, because In every case tho answer is: Because "they" say so.

A, JIERB MAN.
Dear M'Llss It has been the custom
Always to wrap around tho "'eternal feminlno"
a condition bordering on and partaking: of tho
Idealistic. Woman, by reason of custom, has
been kept from miklna the same public dis
play of herse'f thnt mnn has, consequently. In
a ffeneral wfty, the Illusions', concerning her
have been left to befuddle and dellzht the
Imagination of man. more or. Jess, up to the
present time, until she Is really commencing
to believe In them herself. 'This Is nil rlchl
enough, hut, horrorsi some of 'ran are adlnff
to play tho game like a man land -caan In like
a woman (maybe).
It can't be done. That Is, not for Ions: mnn
will "get her numlier." In fnci. ho la getting
her number. He la learning tlm at playing the
same game woman Is no better than he Is.
Hang-, goes Ideal number one. The others
follow In due order.
But aa certain types of women fall for the
modern hysterical condtUona and call them
selves "emancipated." peri apa It's really bet
ter, because without acntlmentallstn men will
wake up and see them as they are. and man
vrlll be more Independent also.
But it's rough on the Innocent women who
are satisfied to allow us fool men to go ahead
bulldlns up Ideals About their sex.
It has always been the boast and prldo of
manly men, that our women, at least, aro
above the sordid ess that comes from rnntuct
with certain of our social and economic ays,
terns, and remain the irrand, good creatures
that Nature Intended them to lie. Only man
has aacrir.ced to the unnatural conditions.
nut why put the blame on the ultra wise,
modem thought type of woman, who thinks the
condition la due to her own efforts? 11 Isn't
the "short-haired woman" ao much aa the
"long-haired man" that Is responsible for her.
and while ahe thinks she's "going some." In
the long run ahe'JI find she's "stung Then
she wilt envy the poor, simple soul (?) that
hadn't any better sense than to stick and re.
main faithful to one man. and to take de
light In nlm and In his and her children. In
preference to all forma ot worldly shame and
lilurrs, as ntTccted and practiced by the so
called modern woman
However, It's an Immutable Itw of Nature

A CASE WHERE SURGERY WOULD
AID EXOPHTHALMIC GOITRE
4
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D
T HAVE had an exophthalmic goitre
J. for more thah a year," writes a
young woman. "JCach physician I ha-,o
consulted, wants mo to have tho goitre
operated on. I lost 42 pounds while at
my worst, my heart beat was 148 per
minute, my eyes protruded and my gen
eral appearance wns changed. I pon
suited various doctors, none of whom
seemed to think he could da anything but
operate, until I found my present doc
tor. He has brought my heart beat down
to 74, my eyes look better and I have
gained some fleah. I feel a great deal bet
ter. 'To my chagrin, thedoctor now urges
an operation as a quicker means of cure.
Hq fat- I have refused. lie wants to tie
the arteries, claiming this will retard the
growth of the- goitre, and that I wquld get
well sootier 1 do not know what to do.
Is It advisable to have the arteries tied,
or may I depend upon further rest, to com
plete my cure?"
There is but ono honest answer we
can give this young woman. By all
means submit to the operation the doctor
advises. Hasn't he demonstrated his
fitness to Judge of thnt? Hasn't he
proved himself a good, conservative doc
tor? The correspondent does not lack
fatth in her doctor she merely feels an
unreasonable antipathy to. surgery Such
an operation as the doctor proposes to
do Is as safe as lancing a boll or ex
tracting a tooth, and much less painful.
He does not Intend to remove part of the
gland; tie simply wishes to reduce its
functional overactivity the excessive
activity of the thyroid produces the poi
ton which causes all the symptoms.
We have opposed surgery as a routine
treatment for goitre, because we are sure
roost cases of exophthalmic goitre re
cover In due time, provided the patient
can enjoy the help of complete rest over
a. period of many- months and good scien
tific medical care. But here Is a case for
surgery i the patient has had the best of
treatment, apparently, for many months,
yet U sot well. If six. months of skilful
medical treatment falls to produce a
cure, then conservative surgery Is always
to be considered.. It should be borne In
mind that the undue prolongation of
thyroid Intoxication may eventually pro
duce 'permanent organic changes. Instead
Of merer functional overstimulation, and
then neither surgery nor anything else
could restore good health , .- -

What Are Sleeves?
An odd little "sleeve" on an evening
gown, which hailed straight from Paris,
was made of tulle That Isn't odd, of
course, but the way the tullo was treated
was odd e.ndugh. A double frill of the
tulle was roads tor stand up angel style

marked the two frills. Incidentally spread

HERE'S A FASHION EXPERT TO
SOLVE SARTORIAL PROBLEMS
Submit Your Dress Difficulties to Her She's Here to
' ' Tell You What to Wear and How to
Wear It
CorresjionicMfs fu this ilfpurtmcnt nrc requritctl to aililresa their qurrlcs

D(
O YOU know how to dresi?
Not every woman does, although it
Is srffo to say that every woman waists to
know how. Some spend thousands an
nually hi nn endeavor to "look well";
others nchleve a reputation for "smart
ness" on a few hundred which Is but
another way of saying that dressing well
Is an art
It Is an art with well-defined prin
ciples. Consciously or unconsciously, the
woman who Invariably excites envy In
tho heart of her more dowdy sisters fol
lows these principles:
"How does sho do It," tho woman with
a bank account will be heard to say of
her neighbor of less fortunate finances. "I
know positively that sh? has only $200
for clothes nnd yet she goes everywhere
and Is always tastefully garbed."
The basic rules tor good dressing uro
so simple that It is strange so few
women hae mastered them They might
be epitomised as follows
If you aro tall and thin don't wear
stripes that run up and down.
If ou aro short and fat, don't wear
horizontal lines, ruffles or tucks that run
around, giving a barrel effect
Tho color of your eyes should be your
fae -ito shade. If they aro blue, not a
ve.y dominant blue, match them nnd see
how they are Intensified If they are
brown a brown frock or suit will make
them seem all ho browner.
Next to the eyes, the hair Is a good
color guide.
1'aatel women, that Is those who are of
the delicate, fragile tpe, will bo wise to
wear the pastel neutral shades Brilliant
exotic types may "go In for" Bakst and
Polret with Impunity
But these are broad generalizations.
Kveiy well-dressed woman knows that
nothing so entitles hero to that qualifying
adjective "well dretsed" as distinctive
ness originality In the choice of her
raiment. This does not mean that she
must be a freak. It merely means that
she regards herself aa a law unto her
self, to whom a genera) rule does not
apply She studies her features from
every angle, tries this shade and then
that .Ultimately she finds what she Is
looking for the color schemes' that best
suit her and the lines that are particu
larly adapted to her figure.
