Lifting of Hat by Men
Traced to Early Custom

Why do men lift their hats to
women? 1t is believed that the GUS
tom Of uncovering the head as
mode Of salutation originated in the
military practices of the ancients.
In the days when men wore heavy
armor a man would take off his
helmet or headgear to show that he
was not afraid to stand with head
uncovered in the presence of an
other; it was an act expressive OF
confidence. Later it became Gus
tomary to remove the headgear to
show Difference to a superior or as
mark of respect to person Of
distinction, says the Rocky Noun
tain Herald. 1t was only a step fur
Their to lift the headdress as an act
of politeness or gallantry to women
and thus raising the hat gradually
became a general method of greet
ing women.
The practice retains some of its
earlier significance and many peo-
pie still take off their hats to salute
distinguished persons of either sex,
and respect for the national flag is
shown in same manner. Members
of the Society of Friends do not be-
ieve in raising the hat. George
Fox, the founder Of the society,
taught that a Christian should SUBJ
NIT to persecution and even face
death itself rather than touch his
hat to the greatest of mankind,
whether male or female.
When asked to produce Scriptural
authority for his dogma on this SUBJ
ject, Fox cited the Biblical passage
in which it is asserted that Shad-
rach, Mashach and Abednego were
thrown into fiery furnace with their
hats on. He also pointed out that
the Turks never show their bare
heads to their superiors and said
that they should be permitted to
surpass Christians in virtue.

plows his way through the deepening snow. His

An extra jerk goest at his hat as he squeezes his

seem to melt at the tip into the grey of the storm

BOOK SHELF
GROWTH OF A MAN
BY MazO De La Roche
By Ber7aice FipneS0n

A Canadian novel by Canada's S
leading novelist, this is the first
important novel Miss de la Roche
has written outside of the Jalna
series. The story of Shaw Mani
fold is the story of a young Cana
dian, who, in his fight for self
possession, met the challenge first
of poverty, then of scholarship, and
finally of ill-health. Shaw was a
born forester. He came of hardy
stock. A fatherless boy of nine, he
was brought up in the rugged en-
vironment of his grandfather's
farm, a lonely youngster in the
midst of callous elders. His only
ally was his mother, Cristabel,
whose work removed her to dis
tant city. Mother and son lived for
their reunions. Their private world
was a tortured and nostalgia place,
but it's love braced Shaw against
the exhaustion of overwork and
the interminable feud with his
grandparents from which he final
ly escaped to his school of forestry
and the Canadian woods.
Then at the outset of a brilliant
career he found he had over-reach-
ed his strength. In sick bed and
sanatoriums he begins to fight the
greatest battle of his life.
Shaw, with his courage and en-
durance is that appealing figure, a
self-made man, and in telling of his
relationship with his mother, of his
defiance of the Covers, of his love
for Elspeth Blair, and Of the ex-
peditions which led to his expos
ure in the forests, Miss de la Roche
has revealed the capacity and depth
of a great character. The authors
portrayals, of Roger Cover, the
huge-bearded grandfather, of Louie
Adams, the incurable, of DR.. Glenn
ency with his candor and percep-
ton and her unforgettable pic
lures of the Canadian winters, the
deep SHOWS, the Northern forests,
and that plaintive life at the Que
bee sanatorium compose a novel OF
strength and compassion.
