NEW YORK MAN NEVER KISSED

Incidental to Engagement Handsome Easterner Makes Blushing Admission—Likes Girls. New York. —Can a man live 40 years in New York, with all its pretty girls, without kissing or being kissed? Here is one man who says he can. He points to his- own case as an Instance, and the other day be told why. Olin W. Hill, secretary of the Carnegie Safe Deposit company, is the man. He is over forty, handsome, well groomed, and bears all the outward marks of a man-about-town. But Mr. Hill has at last fallen a victim to Cupid’s darts, and he blushlngly admitted bis engagement to Miss Martha Brown, daughter of Mrs. Slater Brown of Seattle. “The young woman Is now In New York purchasing her trousseau,” Mr. Hill said, “and she expects her mother here shortly. "Until now I have never been In love with any woman, have never kissed a woman, or even thought of proposing. I had Intended to keep my engagement secret until Miss Brown’s mother arrived, and then let her make the announcement, but the false reports that I was to marry a stenographer named Miss Brown In the employ of the Carnegie Trust company had to be corrected.” Mr. Hill admitted that he liked the girls well enough, but said that he believed that no man had a right to kiss one until after marriage.
