ORIGIN OF HANOSHAklNG.
How u Comes Down From the pays o.
Barbarian.

There are many curious ideas In re
gard 10 the origin OF the handshakc
Some people think that II was the Gus.
tom handed down from the days when
the lines of society were closely drawn.
Others have thought that tho hand.
shake originated with the most com.
mon classes Of early English times aud
that II was bond OF true friendship
not recognized In the aristocratic cir.
cles.
AS matter Of fact. the custom Of
shaking hands dates back to the days
OF harbarism. In those days every
man carried dagger IN his belt be-
cause he did not know when he had to
defend himself But when one friend
met another IL was considered neces-
sary 10 show that his GRAND was
peaceful one by holding his hands In
front OF him, palms extending out
ward The one who was thus met re.
peated this token OF assurance OF
friendliness. and the most natural
thing happeDed-tbat is they clasped
each others hands. A little later, when
the dagger became more useless, II was
worn simply AS an ornament. But the
custom Of stretching out the hands
continued This gradually changed un-
I'll the extending of one hand and that
OF clasping that OF the friend only re-
manned.
From this the handshake grew to be
a conventional form OF greeting. the
refusal Of hand thus proffered was
taken as an insult, and duel usually
followed. which often resulted In the
death of one OF the principals.
The different fads which we have
found creeping in. such as holding the
hands high or merely touching the tips
OF the fingers. are interesting to study.
For example. the handshake with the
elbow held high resulted from n sim
pie little boil that one Of the princes of
England had under his arm. This high
handshaking was purely accidental
and never intended TO be set as fash
ion, but inasmuch as this particular
prince often set the fashion, the people
at court one day saw him greet some
friends in this manner and immediate |
ly judged that from then on that must |
be the proper way TO shake hands.
