A young woman lecturing in New York befoie the Household Economic association startled her heareis bj a, passionate denunciation ot tho kissing habit "I hope to see the da," she exclaimed, "when kissing is unknown. I wish It could be mado Illegal It is not a clean thing to do. It should bo discountenanced by everj thinking wo man." The members of the Household Economic association aui presumably thinking women, but they did not re spond enthusiastically to this sugges tion. "I never let unyone kiss 1110," said tho young reformer. Rut even this demonstiation of Spartan virtue nwoke no ansvveilng desire for self abnegation. A kiss Is a haimless salu tation, the otheis doubtless thought, nnd they only smiled when the lectur er said: "I hope no one will ever tiy to kiss me, as I shall not let them." Had they been Ill-natured they might have suggested that the warning was unnecessaiy. Rut women ait- always geneious In their treatment of their own sex. It Is easy enough to 8mpathlr.e with objections to kissing up to a certain point. English-speaking people are not great kissers in uny case. They look with scorn upon forelgneis who use this mode of salutation indiscrimi nately, even In moments of uupieme emotion, Englishmen merely shake hands. Frenchmen and Germans and such, on the contrary, embrace raptur ously on tho most ordinary occasions. Yet we fancy that It would bo hard to support the theory that kissing Is un healthy by showing that Englishmen escnpe diseases frequent among their neighbors. No doubt theie Is some thing In the disease plea; but has not too much been mado of It? Wt aie finding germs everywhere In these days, and aie taking the most elabor ate precautions against them It 10 malns to be seen If wo aro healthier than our fathers In consequence. In any case those who 1 cully find pleas 1110 In kissing may not uo dctened by tho warning of science. Many ot tho Coal of the best quality for domestla use and of all sizer Including lhickwheat and Ulrdsejo, delivered In any purt of the city, at tho lowest pi Ice Otders received at the oltice Connell building Room SCW. telephone No. 1762, qr at the mine, telephone No. 272, will bo promptly attended to. Dealeis supplied at tho mine. MOUNT PLEASANT COAL CO things wo like to do are not good for us, but we- keep on doing them Just the same. Those who take less advanced giound than the oung woman who does nor. propose to let anjone kiss her may still object to the piomlscuous habits of kissing.
