SPAIN INVENTED KISSING, ASSERTS DIAZ MIRANDA Disputes Professor Starr, Who Says Mexicans Are Most Artistic Kiss Throwers NKW TOHK, July !">.—The class In kissing Will rise ami toll us which country loads the league In tossing osculation. Prof. Frederick Starr of Chicago university thinks the Moxlean curves are the most graceful and ef fective. "It takes a young Mexican to toss a kiss with perfection," says Mr. Starr, anthropologist. "He brings the tips of his fingers together, touches them gently with his lips and, spreading his hrfnd out as he makes the throw, wafts five sweet kisses to his lady love by live different routes." We shall now hear from Sonor Caye tano Romero, consul general from Mexico, Senor Romero smoothes his bulging shirt front and begins: "Mexico! Kissing! At last my dear country comes Into its own. The pro fessor Is correct. We lead the world in love, kissing and all forms of ro mance. The sunny Heidi and the balmy air of that dear Mexico make osculation our principal Industry; and this throwing kisses, is that not an ex port? Ha! Ha! We take the hand, close it, we mako one long look at the sweet sehorlta and then we plant on those five fingers one long smack. We make another look at the senorita, and pout! off she goes like your man Gal lagher. We re the great race." Inventors of Kissing "Wrong," chirps Senor A. Diaz Mi randa, who looks after the welfare of Spaniards in New York. "If those Mexicans know anything about kissing, believe me. they took It from us. We Invented kissing. It Is our first nature. We leave off work, eating, sleeping, everything, to Rive the kiss. It is an art with us. To do it right, one must be a Spaniard. First you are tilted to an angle of twenty-three degrees. Then you bunch the fingers of your right hand, slip them into your facial aper ture and smack. Then you hold your left hand, palm up, and stick the right Into the left to show that you've got nothing up your sleeve. Ah, and here's the part. You raise that left hand to your face and turn on the exhaust. Can you beat it?" • Venturing forth to No. 35 South Will iam street, we find the office of Etienne Lanel, the French consul general, who is not in. Tlie small gentleman at the railing blushes at the word "kiss," and In embarrassment runs to the side of his assistant, a tall, heavy man with white hair. An Old Flame Bursts Forth "G'wan!" remarks that person in pur est French. "Perhaps," it was timidly suggested, "you never threw a kiss." Another "fl'wan!" and he bursts forth like a. broken cylinder on a pho • ph. "I threw ze kiss when you were walking on your bands. You know 1 came from Paris. Wo are tho real original kiss throwers. I, myself, in my day was much sought aftir to ship off osculation by the air line. Time without number, as we say in Paris, I would (tand below the window of my beloved, join the first linger and the thumb, touch them with my fairy lips and blow the product skyward. From what I have told you it must bo at once apparent that we lead the world in osculation." Little remains to be told. Jack Bar ryrnore, the actor, has broken in upon the ■Mtherlng and begs to be heard. Shall we? Yes, let's. "I am not keen for this far away Iclßilnc My particular hobby is grab bing the clrl by tho shoulders and plac ing Oiy lips on hers. It's a good way. Put If I saw tome sweet young thing who really wished to be osculated lumping from a window, and I couldn't get up to her and she couldn't get down to me, I'd simply whirl my trusty right arm around a few times and hurl the kiss upward." Virgins As it happened, however, the five foolish virgins were observed, In their perplexity, by five wise men. ■Permit mo!" quoth each of theso, nnd stepped up and filled a virgin's lamp for her, adding: "Now, you Just about nn cl somebody to look out for you, don't you, eh!" And upon the five foolish virgins blushing violently and looking: shyly down, the five wise men lost no time in procuring licenses, and they all lived happily ever after. As for the wise virgins, they sniffed some when they heard the news, anim adverted with i-onsidernbli' 1 acerbity on the ancient mystery of the way of a man with a maid, and let It go at that. —Puck. The Strangest Thing That Could Happen in This Town If there were ever pub lished an issue of this news paper which did not contain an advertisement which OUGHT to interest YOU, THAT would be about the strangest thing that coulrl happen. And it takes a stretch of the imagination to think it a possibility—assuming- that you have average needs and tastes. At any rate, it didn't happen with this is sue of the paper.
