ABOUT SHAKING HANDS

"When to shake hands and when
not to do so isl writes correspon-
dent of "Ho"e Notes." calling herself
Countrified, "a perfect puzzle to me,
and | am always haunted by the fear
of having done the wrong thing" AS
other correspondents write in a SINH
lar strain l think little chat on this
subject will not be amiss, though in
this matter it is impossible to lay
down hard and fast rules, for circum-
stances alter cases.
Generally, when lady is introduc-
ed to a stranger, or when stranger
is introduced to her, she simply bows,
but in her own house she shakes hands
with every guest at the first meeting,
and on subsequent occasions if she
happens to recognize them. As these
guests are often brought by friends to
garden parties, dances, &c, it is quite
likely that the hostess may not see
enough of them to recollect them after
wards.
When girl is introduced to mar.
ried lady, if the introduction is made
by relative of the girl, the married
lady would not hesitate to shake hands
with her. She might very likely do
so anyhow if she happened to be of a
genial kindly nature-but in no case
should the girl take the initiative.
AS a rule lady does not shake
hands with a man on introduction,
but she would do so if the man were
introduced by his wife or sister, or if
he happened to be member of a fami-
ly with whom she was on intimate
terms.
Among guests staying in country
house there is very little hand-shak-
ing generally. When their hostess
introduces them they exchange bows,
they neither shake hands on separat-
ing the first night nor on appearing
at breakfast in the morning. They
shake hands with their hostess every
morning and evening, and generally
with the host, but unless they become
interested and friendly with one anoth-
er they do not exchange hand-shakes
among themselves at these times.
1t should be remembered then, in
hand-shaking, as with bowing, the Ia
dy takes the initiative, but the hand
should never be extended nor the bow
given unless it is expected, and will
be Immediately reciprocated.

WASHINGTON AS A BUSINESS
MAN.

At the time of his death he was sup
posed to be the largest landholder in
the country, being possessed of 81 ,395
acres, exclusive Of the Mount Vernon
estate, his town properties, and the
real estate of his wife. The value of
his property at his death, again ex-
Guiding the Mount Vernon estate and
the property of his wife, was estimated
at $53O,O0O. The estate at Mount
Vernon included 5000 acres. In
Ford's "Washington" an account is
given of the stock on the Mount Ver-
n on p p:operty.
1t appears that in 1898 Washington
had "a draught horses on the estate,
317 head of cattle, 63i sheep and
"many" hogs. The live stock was
valued at his death at $4,000. In
addition to the draught horses already
mentioned, he had in 1893 "two full
grown jacks and three young ones, 10
she asses, ~ working mules and Al
younger ones" Mount Vernon was
community in itself, including some
800 persons. Washington had his own
blacksmith shop, his own brickmaker
and masons, his carpenters, shoemaker
and weavers. We can readily under
stand how it was that while he was
President he was continually thinking
of Mount Vernon.

GET ALL OUT OF LIFE YOU

'T's a very good rule-as rules may go

To set the days of the star of faith
And get all out of life that we can.
The Golfers of hope hold infinite stores,
And we may supply them at will;
We may heap them with treasure that never shall

With wonderful beauty may fill.
Yes, get out of life all we can every day,
But let us reflect on the meaning:
Shall we wrest from the weak because strong,
Each thing that of value is seeming:
Shall we feel that possessions are riches alone"
And insist that we lead in the van?
In fulfilling this rule that we hold for our days,
To get all out of life that we can.
There are those who do this, but you will no., 1

For you hold that the secret of living

Lies only in loving and giving.
To get out of life we must put into life
All generous courage, all sweetness;
Be thoughtful for others, be courteous and kind,
And then will life grow to completeness.
And thus will the days as they glide into years
Hold their riches for boy and for man,
