Kissing the Hand.

inere is amovem"nt on the part of
certain fashionable Londoners n on
deavor to introduce again the graceful
old custom of mon kissing women's
hands by way Of greeting. AS might
Dc supposed, the movement is inau.
guiated by the women, who feel, pro.
baby, that the mere handshake does
not sufficiently aocentuate mans pro.
per subsection to the lady fa;r.-Au.
.gusta (Gs.) Herald.
i That would be much preferable to
the way ladies sometimes now allow
men in walkingwith them to place their
arm under that Of the lady and thon
grab her By the hand or wrist and 90
tauntering through the streets. One
is momentary evidence of respect
while the other is continuous per.
se.maloe Of holding hands. Then
again, in telling woman goodbye it
has become quite the custom FOR a
man to take the womans hano and
hold it while he carries on quite CON.
versation with the lady. Both the
manner Of telliug-good bye and the
manner Of holding woman's hand or
'wrist while walking are disgusting and
should be abolished. 1t would be
much preferable for woman in walk
Ing with man to put 'the tips of
her digets in the crook Of the elbow
of the man.
That was the custom Of our fore
fathers and mothers. Girls now say
that that is antiquated and that they
would be considered slow if they did
that. We would prefer a slow girl
for wife to the advanced one aud 80
would any sensible man. IL
If hand kissing will abolish the GUS
tom named, then let it come, and come
quick; but il it is only to add ons
more advanced fad, we trust that it
will remain across the ocean.
Any new rules that would make
mens show more respect for women
ought TO be hailed with delight.
We suppose that the habit of men
in sitting so close to ladies that you
could not pass sheet of paper be.
tween them is considered mark OF
respect to the ladies; but it might be
that the voices Of both sexes arc not
as strong as they used to be, and that
they have to sit close togsther in
order that they may hear each other
the better.
In olden times it was considered
proper for young man to cit on one
side of fireplace and the lady on the
other in paying call. They conver.
sed Just as we'll that way as they dc
now and the men had a great deal more
respect for woman than is shown now.
We do not mean that all ladies adopt
advanced ideas. God bless them,
there are as true women today as ever
lived and those the men seek fo,
wives. But from the new woman with
advanced ideas, may the good Lord
deliver us, quick. All men should
join in that prsyer.
We will agree to the hand. kissing
as Of old If the man is not expected
to make continuous performance OF
it every time he meets woman.
Women, and women alone, can make
men respect them. -Greenville News.

Through wet cane patch many
small bodies were dodging, their red
trousers making fine targets for the
men in kakai brown. The way these
brave running soldiers crawled out of
their snowy uniforms was a most
comical sight. They left a red trail
