Show Kissing Custom Centuries Ago. Three hundred years ago It was a sign of hospitality for the lady of the house to welcome the men guests in her husband's presence with a kiss. It might be on lips, forehead or cheek. An interesting reference to the freedom free-dom of kissing in olden times is introduced intro-duced by Sir Walter Scott in "The Fair Maid of Perth," where one of the characters says : "Thou knowest, the maiden who ventures to kiss a sleeping sleep-ing man, wins of him a pair of gloves."
