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

to do.
When ono meets n frlond whom ono

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

It, is customary for men to raiso
thoir bats upon passing each other In
tho streets. Tbo carrying of canes is

quaintances of opposito sex meet, nt

to bow first. This, as mny readily be

To call a servant, hold up street car

"Adlos" is employed as a passing

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

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

He never smokes in that feverish fash

smoker, who seems beet upon getting
tho full werth of a big cigar. Most

This universal bablt of smoking T-i

and srnoko contentedly for a few mo

It is no uneemmon thing to see 1
bey ef three er four years smoking
cigarette. Largo quantities of cigars
are eoBsamed there, but tho elgarette
is the national smoke. Mexicans are
net given mueb to tho pipe smoking.
The priests are reputed to be habitual
muff takers and are not infrequently

In short, the smoking habit is not thore
eeasidered disreputable in any way.
