THE HANDKERCHIEF.
Meaning of the Linen Rectangles
Which Men and Women Garry.

If it is indeed true, as the French wri-
ter says, that one needs handkerchiefs
for the mornings, handkerchief to walk
with, handkerchief to go to church
with, handkerchiefs to lose and give
away, handkerchief for washerwomen
and for lovers to STEAL and, he might
have added, handkerchiefS to leave be-
hind to furnish a clew to the mystery;
handkerchiefs for an Othello to find and
rave over. In Egypt the handkerchief
was counted as an amulet, and among
the Moors as a love token. Grecian wo-
men appear on their vases musing pen
sively with a large cloth in the right
hand and among the Romans the utili-
tartan use of handkerchiefs was deplor-
ed by Juvenal. With Elizabeth of Eng
land the handkerchief, like all articles
of the toilet. was much to be considered
and was trimmed with lace and decked
with embroidery. Tiny squares of finest
lawn, finely wrought, edged with gold
lace and folded neatly, were made pur-
posely for love tokens and were given
by court ladies TO their lovers. who wore
the dainty tokens in their hats.
