THE HANDKERCHIEF.
OF Ancient Honor and Renown-A Gift Fol
Queens and a Token of Love.

or Ancient Honor and Renown-A Gift For
Queens and a Token of Love.
No item of dress has had so humble an
origin. Beginning ASIA. rough piece of
cloth, the ''clout' or rig changed at last
into the most delicate lace begirt article
of the toilet. Then it became gift for
queens or a token of love. The corner of
an apron still suflices the workyday wom-
an for tears and furtive shifts of the nose,
while a very dingy and unsavory article is
the sole joy of the schoolboy. Careful
matrons in Scotland show sacred pride
in the folded handkerchief around their
Bibles, which they unwrap and shake out
of its folds in church with an air of per-
forming a religious rite.
The handkerchief attained to honor and
renown in the east long before its hum
blest manifestation, the swat cloth" was
in use in England. In Egypt it was count
ed as an amulet and among the Moors
love token. The Greeks have left no writ
ten record of it.. But on vases and other
pictured history there are Greek women
musing pensively, with a rather large cloth
in the right hand. The Romans seem to
have been accustomed to handkerchiefs Of
a strictly utilitarian kind, for Juvenal
makes its too frequent use kind of r.
proach.
The Anglo-Saxons used their swat
cloths" openly, but the Normans hid their
napkins about their persons. Pockets there
were none, and it could not conveniently
be attached to their girdles. Nevertheless
by Edward Tvs day certain tardy inter-
est in the handkerchief had arisen. for that
monarch had his made of Hollands cloth"
and ordered no less than four dozen to be
made by certain Alice Shapstone, to whom
he paid twopence apiece for making them,
equal to about two shillings. 1t is said that
the empress of Russia paid 900 for single
handkerchief. The embroideress who made
it wrought seven years and lost her eye
sight over it. 1t will be seen from this how
much the handkerchief has grown in i'm
portance.
In the sixteenth century the handkerchief
began to be in more general use at court for
men as well as women. Henry VIII was
particular about handkerchiefs and expect
ed the lords of his chamber to be provided
with them. He himself paid Mistress Ar
INQUIRER e5 for II dozen handkerchiefs in
1881, equal to about 8 shillings apiece at
present, to be given out to those who served
his person. And now it was that the hand
kerchief began to assume its rightful place
~ thing Of particular Importance.
With Elizabeth the handkerchief, like
all articles of the toilet, was much to be
considered. c 1t was trimmed with lace and
decked with embroidery. But in her youth
she was not SO we'll provided for. Lady
