Town Puts Ban on Kissing. A man at Brinsley has been fined $1 for kissing a lady in the street. In the New England of the seventeenth century he would have been much mire severely dealt with. Mrs. Earle, in her book >on “Puritan New England,’’ recalls the case of Capt. Kemble, of Boston, who in 1656 was “set for two hours in the public stocks for his ‘lewd and unseemly behavior,’ which consisted in ‘kissing his wife publicly on the Sabbath day, upon the doorstep of his house.” / when he had ijust returned from an absence of three.,years. Attempts have beeh made to stop kissing in fact as well as in fiction I •have recorded. In Iceland the oldtime laws were very severe in this regard, banishment was the penalty for kissing' another man’s wife, with or without her consent, .and.Jhe same punishment followed* on kissing—an unmarried woman against her will. Even when kissing had the recipient’s sanction the penalty was a fine for each offense. But there' must have been times in winter when banishment from Iceland seemed cheap at the price of a snatched kiss* —London Chronicle. Notice of Administration.
