Etiquette of IlumbShakiug. Acte J o//, nw/,/. A correspondent asks when is it | correct to shake hands? This is a very broad subject and would need a chapter, for thc cou- j ditimis ol' social custom are usually ? regulated hy the State you live in. If ! jon have any Southern blood in you. | you ?*rc very apt to shake hands tm j most occasions: This is ?nie of tho. ; most significant action; '.; the South- j en) ruh' of etiquette. lu tip! North j cupl? : hake ha::o- . much' ieS.s frequently: Ti.!.- i- ti \u tb ; the lornialit) which heee.-^ary in | town-, of very large population aird cities ?d' great mansos < i peuple. Tho ! Southerner lives HOTO (-lowly; m likes acquaintances more easily ami ex presses cordiality quickly by a press ure ol' thc hand. The death koo'! of cordial hand shaking was rung when thu! absurd fashion ol' tho elevated shake was in troduced. Veil know the kink; hand elevated on a level with the shoulder: lingers touching each othov: two move ments to the side, and one up, and thc cordiality was over. it was claimed by the fashionables, and those who tried to imitate them, that tiii- method nf hund-shaking was introduced to save mon and women thc cleanness uf their gloves, \Voll, it would have been better abolished. ; No hand-shaking is better than such I hand-shaking. I When men arc introduced to each other they always should shake bauds. ; A cordial hand grasp is necessary be tween men of no matter how dilFcrcnt ; station in life, if they art! introduced ! on the street or in the house bv a ?'common friend. j When a man is presented to a wo I man he rarely shakes hands with her j iu the North; he always shakes bauds ? in the South. And even the North erners do it in the South, because the Southern woman invariably stretches out her hand. Since so much South 1 ern life has been introduced into the North, the Southern woman cliugs to the custom, and usually explains with a laugh: "We always shake hands, you know, in thc South." The cordi ality is evidently very much liked, because men and women quickly re spond to the invitation. When a man is presented to .1 wo man at a very formal affair, for in stance, if there is a dinner party and he has been asked to take her in, they merely bow. When, however, they intend to he friends and have heard much of each other before, the cir cumstances alter thc situation. I, for one, hold to the prettiness of the custom, that whenever people arc in troduced in thc house of a friend, a cordial shake of the hands is on easy way to turn off formality. When men and women know each other only slightly, meet in public places and stop to speak to each other, they shake hands. This is done by even thc most formal acquaintances. It is never necessary for two women to shake hands when being introduced, as it is for two men, (the latter knows no alternative,) hut many women do extend the hand quickly upon an in troduction. This must he governed entirely by the tempcratneut of thc women. If a man enters a room where there are many people, some of whom he does not know, he usually shakes hands with his hostess, and bows to the rest. It requires two much time and confusion for him to go around ; shaking hands. > At a reception of any kind a mao always shako- hands with every wo man h?i meets whom he knows well. Ai a party ol* any kind it is not ne cessary that tho 'guests should sook out thc hostess and shako hands with her. I say it is not uecessary, but it is always good etiquette, lt is claim ed against this that tho hostess, who has to shako bands with each ol' her guests as thef come in. is too tired to repeat tho performance. There is something in this, if the entertain ment is large. Whenever a girl is introduced to au older woman at the house of a friend, she must shako bauds with ber; this is the deference duo to superior years. As so many women aro to-day in business and professions, a little talk on the etiquette of tho handshaking in offices would not be amiss, lt is a difficult thing to lay down a hard and fast rule, for each woman must go and . at the time she will go according tu her temperament, but it is a better thing to leave handshaking nut of the ceremony when introduced fur busi ness purposes in tho ellice. The cir cumstances, which always alter the situation, relate to who is doing the introducing, and who is being intro duced, but when it is outside a ques tion of personal interest ur personal friendship, a bow between the two is all that, is required. Many of tho purists in etiquette advise that womcu should not shako hands with mon unless there is a close friendship between them. This is absurd. Tim more warm-hearted and cordial a woman is the more friends she wins, tho less harm she does her diguity; there is always a way tu do a thing and a way not. She loses very little in life by being cordial, fur if she is a woman nf tact she knows how to keep that cordiality from going any further if she does not wish an in timacy. Thc woman who does not know how tu du this would nut know when and bow tu shake hands any way. English people say that "'shaking ham's" is a misnomer, fer "taking tin baud is iao>o pr iper. They '.nay be i all right in flagland, but tin cordial' Americai sha! < s thc hand.

A NNK 1 ? i TT EN Ito I'S K. - - ?. ? tm Slander of Women. Mr. McCullough's bill to make a slander against a woman a crime by statute in this .State is well intended: but torc arc practical obstacles in the way of its success. To begiu with, there would bo a humiliating and un pleasant process of proving by thc wo man herself that the things spoken against her were false and slanderous. What we need in that direction) is a revival nf the good, old-fashioned Sout hern habit of lodging 18 buckshot shot-that, we believe, is the regula tion dose proscribed by time-honored custom-in thc person of tho man who from malice or tully, assaults thc character of a good woman. This is tlie best, quickest and most satisfac tory and conclusive way of such mat ters. It prevents litigation, saves ex pense and annoyance and serves as a warning. We have observed that whenever an affair of this kind occurs in a community slandcrbeconics tongue -tied there for a term of years and almost anybody's reputation is safe. As a rule women do not talk scandal against eacli other unless they are in stigated or encouraged hy men, and even the worst gossips of that sex are subdued by thc knowledge that their male representatives will bc held re sponsible in case a scandal is traced to a family. Tho old rule was that respectable men should nut use the name nf a re spectable woman in any way except in the presence of some of her close friends or of other women-in such company as to make sure that thc usc should bc respectful. A man who used a woman's name lightly or in im proper places or on inappropriate occa sions was stamped as a blackguard im mediately. Scandal cannot be pre vented by law. It can be prevented only by the aroused decency of public sentiment and by thc conscientious opposition of good people.-O'recniillr Ne ic*. Electricity Heats Hiscutt. Verily, this is a wonderful age, and to the woman who can cone with it practically should belong the palm ! As ideal as were the days before the war. when eur grandmothers and their mothers wore short waisted gowns and hieb heeled shoe.? and .-laves obeyed their slightest wish, there was not the half of thc comforts of life as we eu joy today. Electricity was an almost unknown quantity, so to speak. To ?lay. how ever, right hire in Atlanta, lives a brave little woman who has perhaps put tho most practical application of electricity to test that i- on record for she's "beating biscuit" with it ! What think you. oh housekeepers, of that? Mrs. Martha Huller Lapsley is thc clever woman inventor of thc electric motor that serve- as a biscuit beater. She lives at II Clifford street and has a biscuit factory in her kitchen, which has grown from the use of ot;?- barrel of flour a week lo live or six barrels per mouth. When northern visitors stop at the huge hotels in Atlanta they are often surprised and more often delight) il with hot beaton biscuit served them ; for Mrs. Lapsley furnishes her deli cious little biscuit to the large hotels of the city. Two years ago she began making biscuit for the Woman's Exchange, hut at first it seemed with no success, for time and again her samples were returned marked failures. She kept up her courage, however, and sent in her biscuit until, day by day. they be came more perfect in the making, and little by little the demand for thom grew. At first they wore all beaten by hand : then, as thc trade grew, thc old Athens model biscuit beater was used, Now this han been supplanted hy thc electric motor which Mrs. Lapsley has invented.

Mrs. Lapsley generally makes one hundred biscuit at a time. Her trade is now with the large groceries and the Woman's Exchange, thc restau rants and hotels, and the dining cars which pass through Atlanta. She has had made to order moulds of different shapes - rabbits, butterflies, clubs, spades, etc. lier biscuit have been shipped to nearly all parts of the country. Du ring thc yelk fever scare, summer before last, so.ne were shipped to New Orleans, hut to the horror of thc send er, were fumigated cn route. Thc inventor of this biscuit machine j is a little woman, .-caree live feet tall. She has the brightest dark eyes and soft black hair that waves prettily over a beautifully shaped brow, while tightly-closing lips bespeak the deter minad )U with which sho has worked. Besides her biscuit tratio Mrs. Laps ley linds herself kept pretty busy caring for four fine children as well as keeping house. Her father was an honor graduate of Princeton College, and for fourteen years filled the chair of mathematics in the Boys' High School of Louisville, Ky. In Mrs. Lapsley's veins flows some of the best blood of tho southern people, she be ing descended from prominent people. And we are all prom! of her suc J cess, as wc are proud of her ability, feeling that step by step women arc slowly ranking higher in every linc.
