Obscivntions By One Viewing
fiom an Ethical Standpoint.
From tho Piovidence Journal.
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

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. Just why theie is any satis
faction In the touching of the lips is .1
ph biological (and perhaps psycholog
ical) mystery which wo will not en
ileavoi to solve- Indiscriminate kiss
ing certainly makes this satisfaction
less. The kissing of babies, tho intei
1 hnnge ot kisses among women, the
formal kisses ot matrimony thesei
things may well be abolished. It must
be remembeiod that In foimer times
there was an element of solemnity In
the kiss. The Kiss of peace was an ele
ment of evety net of Clnistlan worship.
A tiace of this lemalns in the familiar
benediction, "The- peart- of God, etc.,"
and In the eastern church the priests
still kiss one another duiing the re
cital ot the Nicene cieed. Kissing tha
nltar Is a Catholic piactlco not entirely
unknown In this country The kissing
of the pope's too is another e-nse In
point. High olllclals at Constanti
nople are sometimes permitted to klssi
the sultan's toe as a special mark of
favor. This, we need hnidly add, is .1
far dlffeient kind of kissing than that
against which our oung icformer ii
determined to take a stand.
Perhaps It would bo as well she had
her way, at least In a measure, and tho
habit of kissing were to fall Into dls

kissing in such clicumstances Is a
