Did you ever ask youraelf why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know?
Here Is the reason:
In the o ’d days, when every man
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried a sword. It waa the
custom for men when they met to
•how that they had no Intention of
treachery to offer each other their
weapon hands— that Is, tbe hand that
w.wild be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand waa usually the
signal for a fight
Ho filed did thla habit becom e that
long after men ceased to wear sword*
they still offered the weapon hand to
a friend and declined to offer It to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse
to ahake hands with a person It algnl
