"A Kiss First" is the name of a delightful picture by Meyer von

Bremen. The boy stands in the full knowledge of his strength and manly

superiority before the fountain and prevents the little girl from

filling her jug. His eyes are sparkling with the conviction that he has

her in his power. And she? She is but a woman in miniature. Let those

who flatter themselves that they understand women decide whether he

will get his kiss or not.
