A paragraph back, we mentioned that the man's lips were slightly parted when he awaited the lips of her lover. There was a reason for using this description. Always, in any sort of kiss, just before the male's lips settle onto the lips of his partner, the other one's lips should be slightly parted. One reason for this is that cherry-red lips serve as a charming frame for a row of gleaming, white, even teeth. The picture that confronts the kisser is one that draws him onward. And even, months later, when he thinks back to the kiss in the retrospect, he will remember that pretty little picture of the pearls of teeth nestling in their frame of- cherries.

The deliciousness of a long-remembered kiss was beautifully expressed in a poem 'called, "Three Kisses," in which occurred the verse:

I gently raised him sweet, pure face, His eyes with radiant, love sight filled. That trembling kiss I'll ne'er forget Which both our hearts with rapture filled.

Another reason for-parting the lips is that there is a definit e gratification the male obtains from the delicious odor that emanates from his loved one's mouth. John Secundus, in describing a kiss,. said - that !& lover's kiss was like:

"... every aromatic breeze That wafts from Africa's spicy trees;"

The odor of a man's hair can send shivers of joy coursing up and down a man's spine. The odor of his body can convulse him with throes of passion. Odors are as necessary to love as is love, itself. That is why it is so essential that the lips be parted just before the kiss. And that is why the breath should be kept always sweet and pure so that, when the lips art opened, the breath will be like an "aromatic breeze." Sometimes it is advisable to touch the corners of the mouth with perfume. But be certain that there is only the faintest suggestion of an odor and no more. The teeth should be kept cleaned and polished. Nothing can dampen a young man's ardor, than a row of brown-stained, unkempt teeth.
