When to Shake Hands
 Depends Upon Circumstances
An exchange says:

An excHanSe says.
 When to shake hands and when not te shake hands are questions very frequently asked The subject is a many-sided one and cannot be disposed of by gea or a nay, or by a hard and fast rule It Is a trlte saying that circumstances alter cases and yet this adage exactly applies to the matter in hand, as it utterly depends upon I..e circumstances of the moment whether a hand is extended or bow given.
 The difficulty of not knowing Fhether to shake hands or not arises when first intro- ductions are made, and again at subsequent meetings between ladies but recently intro- duced to each other and on many like oc- casions, such as when strangers are brought in contact with each other when staying in country house together, or al afternoon parties, dinner parties and so
 This question of when to shake hands wholly relates to the foregoing situations, and is outside of the handshaking custom ary between friends, to which no reference need be made, as they shake hands with each other on meeting as matter of course, and again on parting, with no res- ervation, that at second meeting on the same day the act of shaking hands Is not repeated.
 The term shaking hands" is still in use for want of better one, but as far as the word shaking is concerned, it is almost a inisnomer, and taking the hand" would be a more explicit expression to apply to the fashion of the present day. When an in- troduction is made between two ladies, whether they shake hands or not is deter mined by side issues. Generally speaking, the received rule is not to do so, but only to bow, but then follow all the various ex- captions that induce ladies introduced to do otherwise, that is to say to shake hands at once.
 When a girl is introduced to married lady, for instance, by a mutual friend, the married lady Ihay or may not shake hands with the girl; she probably will do so if she is good natured, but she is not certain to evince this amount of cordiality. But if the introduction is made by relative of the girl, the married lady does not hesitate to shake hands, but in neither case would the girl take the initiative of shaking hands.
 When a man is introduced to a lady, again the exceptions in favor of shaking hands come is against not doing so. For instance, if the man introduced is the hus- band or brother of the lady making the introduction, it would be very natural to shake hands with him, almost imperatively so; but were he a mere acquaintance, 1t would be most unusual to shake hands with him on first introduction. After a little short and desultory conversation has taken place between two ladies or between a lady and gentleman just introduced to each other, the doubt arises whether they are expected to shake hands on taking their departure; neither do they shake hands at future meeting under exceptionally favora- ble circumstances for promoting acquaint- ance, at the houses of mutual friends and at social functions, etc. On the other hand, . hostess shakes hands with any and every guest brought to her house by her friends.

Death of a Well Known Ell pasoau

Mrs. w. n. Davis, now RESIDING
with her father ]. E. Watson at 12Ol
| Myrtle avenue, received q telegram
yesterday morning announcing the
death of her husband at Acton, HOOD
county. last Friday night of smallpox.
Mr.. Davis was for several years
q grocery clerk in this city but las,
| spring with II. N. Bailey he opened q
fruit store on Oregon street in
tent opposite the park.
Some time ago he withdrew from the
business and entered the employ of 8.
p. hurry on San Antonio street.
While there he was taken with q fever
and for a couple of weeks feared he
was going to have q run of typhoid.
He recovered sufficiently to travel
and went to Dallas on the last T. and
+. excursion. From Dallas he return
ed to Fort Worth, looked around there
q day and then went to his old home in
Hood county where he was taken
with fever. When an eruption appeared
the first physician called the case
measles but later it developed into
small pox.
Mr.. Davis had the best of care and
Thursday his folks wrote his wife that
he was improving. His friends here
feel keenly the fact that his death oc-
curing from smallpox precludes the
posi- b1lity of his remains being ship
ped home for interment.
Eleven months ago Mr.. and Mrs
Davis buried a bright little boy, for
whom the mother was still mourning
when she received the sad news of her
death.
Mr.. Davis was for some time clerk of
the order of the Woodmen of the
World, q member of the Christian
church. and highly respected by q
large circle OF acquaintance.
Mrs. Davis has the sincere condol-
ence OF the community in her severe
loss. She has q babe left to comfort
her in her loneliness and is with kind
