THE LANGTRY STAGE KISS.

The following minute description of i the Langtry stage kiss is, it is needless < to say, from a thoroughly American J source. The play was " Clancarty," j and, after describing the actress as 1 standing with her back to the audience, « clear down the stage near the foot- < lights, the reporter goes on to say:— 7 " The husband looks at her a moment i and then rushes wildly into her arms. 1 They both swing round and expose ] their profiles to the audience. Then i both hold each other at arm's length, i Then her bosom heaves and he pants. J Then her head falls upon his breast, ' reclining backward. There is a 1 crimson blush suffusing her charming face. Then he looks down at her and she looks at him. Then there ii a perceptible pressure round the waist. Then he suddenly places his lips to hers. Then she clasps him round the | head. Then there is a soft, gurgling i sound, as of water escaping from a kitchen sink. Then they are, as it were, glued together. Then all is still. "Women in the audience become nervous. Baldhe aded men are paralysed. Men about town have their watches out timing them. One second, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and then there is an «xplosion as if the bung had been blown out of a beer barrel. It is all over." Mr A. W. McArthur, M.P., will probably lecture at Auckland on Homo Rule. The Onehunga woolleu mill* will be lighted by electricity.
