cases, who still believe the story 6f the stork which brings babies beca\

your next step is to flatter her in some way. All women like to be flatt\

beautiful even when the mirror throws the lie back into their ugly faces\

Flatter her!
Catullus once wrote:Kiss me softly and speak to me low;
Trust me darling, the time is near,
When we may live with never a fear
Kiss me dear!
Kiss me softly, and speak to me law
"Take a Deep Sniff of the Per- fume In Her Hair and comment On It"
Tell her she is beautiful!
Then, take a deep sniff of the perfume in her hair and comment on it. Te\
ll her that the odor is like "heady
wine." Tell her that her hair smells like a garden of roses. Tell her an\
ything, but be sure to tell her
something complimentary. This done, it is only a natural thing for you t\
o do to, desire to sink your nose
deeper into her hair so that you can get the full benefit of its bouquet\

THE TECHNIQUS OF KISSING
Now is your chance I The moment you feel the tip of your nose touch her \
scalp, purse your lips and kiss
her, the while you inhale a deep breath of air that is redolent with the\
exquisite odor of her hair. it is then
but a few inches to her ear. Touch the rim of her ear with your lips in \
a sort of brushing motion. Breathe
gently into the delicate shell. Some women react passionately to this su\
btle act. Brush past her here in
this way again and note her reaction. If she draws her head away, return\
to her hair and sniff luxuriously
of it. Then: settle back to her ear, the while you murmur "sweet, airy n\
othings" into it. From the ear to her
neck is but another few inches.. Let your lips traverse this distance qu\
ickly and then dart into the nape
and, with your lips well pursed, nip the skin there, using the same gent\
leness as would a cat lifting her
precious kittens.
Then, with a series of little nips, bring your lips around from the nape\
of her neck to the curving, swerve
of her jaw, close to the ear. Gently kiss the lobe of her ear. But be su\
re, to return to the tender softness of
her jaw. From then on, the way should be clear to you. Nuzzle your lips \
along the soft, downy expanse
until you reach the comer of her lips. You will know when this happens b\
ecause, suddenly, you will feel
a strange stiffening of 'her shoulders under your arm. The reason for th\
is is that the lips constitute one of
the main erogenous zones of the body. The nerve ends in it are so sensit\
ive that the slightest contact with
them sends a pleasurable thrill immediately through the nervous system, \
through the medulla portion of
the brain, back through the nervous system again, through branches which\
connect up with motor nerves,
in this case the nerves that control the sphyncter muscles of the mouth \
and lips, and the sexual glands
which were mentioned before.
In plain English, the kissee knows she is to be kissed.
Alright. You have subtly kissed the corner of her mouth. Don't hesitate.\
Push on further to more
pleasurable spots. Ahead of you lies that which had been promised in you\
r dreams, the tender, luscious
lips of the girl you love. But don't sit idly by and watch them quiverin\
g.
Act!

Lift your lips away slightly, center them so that when you make contact \
there will be a perfect union.
Notice, only momentarily, the picture of her teeth in her lips. And, the\
n, like a sea-gull ' swooping
gracefully down through the air, bring your lips down firmly onto the li\
ps of the girl who is quivering in;
your arms.
Kiss her!
Kiss her as though, at that moment, nothing else exists in the world. Ki\
ss her as though your entire life is
wrapped up into the period of the kiss. Kiss her as though there is noth\
ing else that you would rather be
doing. Kiss her!
At this point, it is necessary for us to discuss a few subjects which ar\
e germane to the art of kissing,
particularly in so fir as they apply to what has just been described. Fo\
r instance, there has been raised
quite a full in regard to whether one should close one's eyes while kiss\
