SHAKING HANDS
The psychology of band-shaking has been recently discussed by an American expert, says the “Morning Post." The man who gives you a full hand and presses his thumb hard against the back of yours is, we learn, a liberal and congenial character. Not to press the thumb hard against the back of your hand proves the fellow a stingy creafhire, and the higher he holds hia thumb aloof the stingier he is. The man who merely offers the tips of his fingers is sly, secretive, and cunning. He who lays his hand in joure, as if it were a bit of wood, is a colourless person, and easily imposed on.
