MOVEMENT AGAINST KISSING.

A new league has just,been formed In Paris, having for its motto: “If you would 1 enjoy good health you must

st r I ctly refrain from kissing any one.” Mme. Petit is leader of the new society. She I s the leading woman lawyer of Paris. If kissing goes out of fashion those who desire to give evidence of conjugal and maternal affection will be obliged to content them-

selves with shaking hands after the English fashion, and In such an event It may be asked whether it would not be well to pass a law ordaining that no one shall indulge in this form of greeting whose hands have not been first thoroughly purified by means of a solution of phenlc acid or of bichloride of mercury. , /
