Kissing a Girl Without Having Been [?]

He passed last Sunday evening with a number of young lady friends. “I felt sure," said he, “that there was one of them who wanted very badly to be kissed, and I made up my mind to accommodate her if I got a chance. It came when I got up to go. The lady went with me to the door. In the semi-darkness of the hall I put my arm around her gently, turned her flower face up to mine and, holding her fast, pressed my face to her cheeks, kissing her on the forehead, the eyessuch eyes they are—and the iose-red lips. There was a stifled scream and I saw that she was genuinely indignant. “‘I—I beg your pardon,’ I stammered. “ ‘Mr. Jones,’ snapped she, ‘if you ever come here again without having oeen shaved for a week I’ll never speak to you. My face is just raw.” A simple cough remedy is made of an ounce of flaxseed boiled in a pint of water, a little honey added, an ounce of rock candy and the juice of three lemons, the whole mixed and boiled well.
