Tho handsbnko in Moxlco is a groat institution. When ono stops to chat or talk a littlo business with a person on tho street, no mnttor how many times ono may havo met blm tho samo day, they shako hands nt tho meeting and llkowlso nt tbo parting, in tho mcantimo inquiring about and telling healths. To say "Howdvl" in Mori is a matter of two or tiirco minutes at tho very best. When ono drops into a mnri's office on business likewiso theso plensnnt littlo formalities must bo scrupulously observed, oho ono would bo set down ns an ill-mnnnered boor.

Womon Indulge In this custom with their own sex. Mexican pedestrians turn out for each other ou either side, but seem to havo a preference for tbo left. In meeting women, however, ono must al ways glvo them tho inside of tbo walk. This rulo also holds good when one moots superiors, nlwnjs granting that an American will acknowledge any man to bo his superior, Ono may frequent ly sco theso courteous Mexican men almost quarreling to mako tho other follow toko tho insido track. "Paso, sonor," thoy imploro each other. It, is customary for men to raiso thoir bats upon passing each other In tho streets. Tbo carrying of canes is vory general in Mexico, When ar quaintances of opposito sex meet, nt upon tho street, tho man is cxpocteJ to bow first. This, as mny readily be seen, is important If ono has any ac acquaintances anion Mexican women Puss ono without bowing, and sbo may not know ono noxt time.

' To call a servant, hold up street car or that sort of thing, clnp the linn, s "Adlos" is employed as a passing greeting as well as an udleu. In pass ing a friend with no intention of halt ing ono may say, "Adlos," which co ers tbo greeting as well as the parting This form of greeting is much mori commonly used than "Good morning, " "Good ovenlng," etc. The Maxleans are inveterate smk ers, but they never chew tobacco. Tb.it praotlce is monopolised by the snpe rior "Americanos." Moreover, the Moxlean is seldom offensive with his smoking. The practice Is permissible nearly overywhere in hotel or other dining rooms, after or even at meals, In railroad eoaebes, in street ears, in places of amusement, et. Clerks in dry goods store may frequently be seen taking a few whiffs at a elgarette, and nolleemen on their beats smoke whenever they ean get a elgarette. But no matter how sensitive one may be to the fumes of tebaeee, one Is not likely to suffer from the Mexican's style of smoking. He will light bis eigurette in rare instances a cigar take a few deliberate puffs and quit. He never smokes in that feverish fash ion or raises tho dense sandge that is tho delight of the average Amerlean smoker, who seems beet upon getting tho full werth of a big cigar. Most Mexican women of the eoaswoaer clause love their cigarettes and may be seen puffisg eemplaeeatly is their homes, en the streets, in the street ears or as they tend their Httle street tands.
