the custom Of bowing can oaly be found
by going far back into the ages OF an
tiquity. when prosuation was the at
titude of the slave before his master.

neck TO the stroke of the sword. From
its earliest literal meaning it took a
figurative one. meaning first submits
sion. then Difference. than mere polite
ness. Herbert Spencer says the nod
or bow of modern politeness is the last
relic of the prostration of ancient SER
witty" In the same way we shake
hands with the right instead of the left
because the right was the sword hand
and the giving of it into the hand of an
enemy was a sign of peace and good
faith. Taking of the hat. TOO is relic
Of doffing the helmet and so leaving the
most vulnerable portion Of the body
undefended rs a mark of confidence on
entering the dwelling of an ally or
