WINCHESTER, Va. UP - There
are two ways to kiss a lady’s hand
—over and under.
For generations it has been a
courtly gesture for a gentleman to
bend and salute a lady with a
brush of hia lips to the back of her
hand, roughly two inches north
of her knuckles.
Well, that got to be ao standard-
ized that men (men being what
they are) figured that to get ahead
with women (women being what
they are) they would have to do
something different.
Kissing A Lady’s Hand Not What
It Used To Be In Good Ole Days
tually most American women find
thia a rather eerie experience. Aa
one prominent Manhattan hostess
put it at the end of a hecUc evening
of such greetings by foreign dip-
lomata:
"My elbows are simply brushed
raw.”
On the other hand, while you can
still stir a lady’s heart by the fine
new American tradition of kissing
her palm—gently massaging her
fingers meanwhile— this has its
disadvantages, too
The main problem is the ehanged
hands of U. S. women. They don’t

oppression and the depredations of the state.
Last year, however, there were many notable gains, in com-
panies representing almost every field of endeavor- motors,
utilities, aviation, rubber, farm equipment, tobacco, chem-
icals and so on.
As a corollary development, the size of the average
holdings in most companies is becoming smaller. This is a
logical result of the accelerating spread of share ownership.
Today’s typical stockholder isn't the wealthy man with huge
blocks of shares. He is the man of moderate means, who
invests part of his savings in the stocks of corporations in
which he has faith.
This growth in the numlier of shareholders is one of the
best signs of the times. The man or woman who has a direct
financial interest in any corporation has a direct financial
interest in the free enterprise system which makes that
corporation's existence possible. And that kind of man or
