vogue In tho East. This freak fancy was
originally introduced as a novelty, and
the memoirs OF the inner circle took de-
light In embarrassing their less up-to-
date acauaIntances The victim either

right, or dimly thinking that he must be
turned around. used his own left in sal
utatiou. When the joke became old and
the left hand was met with a left hand
and benignant smile IL was naturally
thought the custom would die out. The
contrary seems TO be the case, and there

eft as right.
