so, together with his partner, he placed himself in front
of an electric wall outlet into which he had screwed a plug and a wire whose end
had been, frayed so that the two wires were separated. Taking hold of one wire,
he advised the girl to take hold of the other., Then, using the usual
"electric-kiss" technique, he bent over and started to bring his lips slowly
towards the girl's lips. He got as far as about half an inch from her lips, and
that's all. Because, a moment later, he saw a blinding flame sear across his
eyes and he felt an enormous blow jolt him off his feet. When he came to enough
to realize where he was, he found himself asprawl on the floor, his girl friend
in a similar position a few feet away. The result was a pair of burned lips and
a combined determination to stick to the old fashioned way of kissing. The
burned lip will always spurn the flame.
THE DANCING KISS
The Dancing Kiss
A very pleasant way to kiss is found in the "dancing kiss."
Here, again, it is the closeness of the bodies of the participants that adds to
the enjoyment. What more could a pair of lovers ask for than a dimly lighted
dance floor, the tender, rhythmical strains of a waltz being played by Wayne
King, their arms around each other, their eager young bodies kissing each other
in a myriad of excitable places, the while, their cheeks meet in glowing,
velvety strokes? Naturally, in such situations, the rules of social etiquette w
ill not allow the pair to enjoy an extremely appropriate "lip kiss." Although
this can very easily be accomplished in the privacy of one's parlor while the
radio is broadcasting the music. In fact, the "electric kiss" can be ideally
performed under these circumstances. But, when dancing in a public place, the
only kisses allowed would be those surreptitious ones stolen under the straying
eye of the chaperone. Under the pretense of whispering pretty nothings into your
partner's shell of an ear, allow your lips to touch her earlobe, her cheek and
her chin. A few covert eye-kisses, perhaps, can be stolen in this manner, too.
But, these stolen sweets should suffice the happy couple until they return
home,. Then, stimulated by the forepleasure of these previous non-lip kisses,
the pair can indulge in all the variations listed in this booklet, to their
hearts' and their lips' content. The while they recall, perhaps, those lines
from Sir John Suckling's "Ballad of a Wedding," which went:
Oh, they sudden up -and rise and dance;
Then sit again, and sigh, and glance;
Then dance again, and kiss.
THE SURPRISE KISS
A most charming
manner of kissing is called the "surprise kiss." This is performed when one of
the parties has fallen asleep, on the sofa, let us say. On entering the room,
when the other sees his lover asleep, he should tip-toe softly over to her.
Then, lowering his head slowly, he should implant a soft, downy, feathery kiss
squarely on her lips. This first kiss should be a very light one. -But,
thereafter, the intensity of the kisses should increase until the sleeping one
has awakened. and, of course, even beyond that. The effect of such an awakening
to a sleeper is almost heavenly. For, while in the midst of a dream, a pleasant
one, most likely, for it will concern the other half of |
