To fully understand all an Egyptian
says and does is a harder task than
aeciphering the hieroglyphics on an
obelisk. To start with, they shake
hands. To do this properly the guest
first grasps his hosts thumb in the
right hand, then his fingers, then his
thumb, without moving the arm. If
we'll acquainted after shaking hands,
he puts his left arm under the Egyp-
tian's right arm reaches over his left
shoulder and pounds him on the back
with the right hand until he gasps.
The harder the pounding the more
polite. The language of the Egyptian
gentleman is the most fulsome posi-
Bile. If he should be in need of q little
temporary loan he will pound the man
(whom he hopes to confidence success
fully on the back until he can hardly
breathe. Experts in Egyptian etiquette
can tell by the pounding process what
Is coming, and when the ceremony
reaches the p~iledriver degree it is the
proper thing to say: "What IA / do
for you?"

talk something like this: "Do for me?

When meeting a stranger his neck is as
stiff as a piece of wood. In shaking
hands the arm is never moved. In

never kiss each other and they always
receive their friends sitting down. If
some young man should call on them

alarmed. She is not in pain. That is
only her way of expressing her delight
at entertaining her caller.
