Ettauette Of the Hand.

A lady never extends her hand to
a man whose acquaintance she is
making. She may or may not shake
hands with a lady who is introduced,
but she must not give her hand to a
strange man. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long acquainted with
him, unless shesrespects and admires
him. A gentleman never extends
his hand to a lady first. To do SC
would be presumptuous, and subject
him to snubbing. A man show:
his breeding the way he eats his din
ner; woman shows her breeding
the way she receives people.
