THE BUSINESS OF KISSING,
WHERE IT IS MOST POPULAR
The following appeared, in a Londoa wockly--
Not long ago the municipal authorities ut Rome were scandalised at the amount of publio kissing that goes on in the streets of that city, and determined to take disciplinary action in the matter. It seems probable in the future that Rome will be deprived of one at leash of its many
Allurements.
This business of the kiss continues to trouble from time to time the minds of our magistrates. Yet the practice Is probably as old as humanity itself, and,
Richard Steela wrote
of kissing, with the first courtship." I find, for instance, that there are no fewer than forty-three references to kissing in the Bible, the first being in Genesis xxvii, 20, where we read that lang said unto Jacob. Come near now, and kiss me, my son." That, I suppose, is one of the first recorded kissen in the world's literature.
Natura is its author, and it began
Yet there are nations even to-day where the practice is unknown. The heathen in his blindness is oftentimes strucger to this much cherished amenity of our Euro- pean civilisation. I real recently that some of the Fings, ar arly all the Esquimaus, are non-kissers." In such frigid aliaxes it is not, perhaps, surprising. It is in the sunnier laads of the South that the kiss best dourishes.
[It is warm enough at any mate for it in Japan, where kissing in public is not judulg edin-nt least, among the Japaneso.}
In our own country the kiss has had a varied history. We are not, on the whole, a kissing people-thanks, possibly, to the restraining infinence of Puritanism.
ERASMAS'S DELIGHT.
In the
It was not ever thus, however, sixteenth century that staid divine Erasmus was both surprised and delighted by the kissing proclivities of our English girls. He
wrote:-
In this country there are goddess girls, divinely fair, suasive and persuadable. And they have a habit, too, which is praise- worthy beyond description. Wherever you arrive you are received with a kiss When
have leave you carry a kiss with you You come back again, and so doth the kiss. In fact, whomsoever you meet, there are kisses in plenty, and wherever you go, the world is full of kisses waiting.
Opo man's meat is proverbially another man's poison. What Erasmus described as praiseworthy beyond description" was re garded by Montaigne with feelings of un- mitigated abhorrence. Montaigne thought that our English ladies made themselves too cheap by the indiscriminateness of their kisses:-
It is the deare price makes viande savour the better. Dea but how the form of salata tions doth by its facility bastardise the of kisses. It is an unpleasing and injurious custom unto Ladies that they must afford their lips to any man that hath but three lackies following him, how unhandsome and loathsome soever he may be. Nor do. we ourselves gain much by it; for, as the world is divided into four parts, so for four fair ones, we must kiss fifty fouls; and to a nice and tender stomach, as are those of mine aye, one ill kiss doth surpay one good.
But in this attor Montaigne was a voice crying in the wilderness." Tas average visitor to this country was by no means displeased with the friendly habits of our English ladies. A Venetian report of 3512 states of the ladies of London that, "if they meat a friend, they take his hand and kiss him fall on the mouth, and go into some tavern and eat with him. And their people do not take it And they are most beautiful ladies, and most pleasant" Fur- thermore, another foreign vintor vas Samuel Kiechal-discovered that a geost did well to take his hostess in his ar and to kiss ber; who does it not is looked upon as ignorant and illbred.” ·
AN AURELABLE TASE.
When at a later period of our history Bulstrodo Whitelocke was appointed by Cromwell as Ambassador to the Court of Sweden, he was commanded by Queen Christina to teach her ladies to kiss in the English manner. Despite his Paritan pro clivities, Whitelocke appears to bavocrineod nodisinclination to carry out his instructions and he found that his paplis offered only “a
