a BILLIONS of handkerchiefs have
Mi been given away during the hol-
oVo idays, and each was proba bly,
accounted a useful gift. because this
article. once a symbol of wealth and
position and esteemed as the refine
ment Of luxury. has come into uni
versal use throughout what is gen.
orally called the civilized world. No
man is too poor and humble to own
pocket handkerchief
The handkerchief seems to have been
q gift to the world from ancient Per-
sia- In those far-back classic days it
was a small square of silk, the princi-
pal use Of which was to wipe moisture
from the brow. From Persia ii passed
to Greece, and then to Rome, spreading
through the rest of Europe and becom :
ing habit with the rich. Thence it
came to America. The handkerchief
has conquered all the grand divisions
Of the globe. 1t did not early come
into common use, and for centuries it
was carried only by persons of wealth
and fashion as an ornament, as a car
rier Of strong sweet scents or as a
favor to be worn by gallant in his
hat
With the spread Of the tobacco habit
after trade with the new-found Ameri-
cas- had been opened up. the use of to-
bacco In the form of powder for sniff
ing up the nose became the fashion in
the loftier circles of society and spread
downward through the more ordinary
ranks of people, and 1t was this habit
of SNUFF taking that brought the hand
kerchief into common use as a toilet
accessory, increased its size and caused
