History of n Hand Shake. The 'high hand shake' which prevails pre-vails In W'ashlngton lo such a considerable consid-erable extent nnd which Is particularly noticeable In society and diplomatic circles Is snld to have been Introduced here by the late President McKlnley. The handshake of the late Piesldent was one of the most attractive and Interesting In-teresting things nbout him. When receiving a largo number of people In haste his right hand wns ul-wa)s ul-wa)s held out In the cnstomar) fashion, fash-ion, but when receiving Cabinet officers, Congressmen and others In his private olllce there was an air about his handshake hand-shake that was irresistible Ihe elbow of tho right aim usual!) rested close to his bod), while his hand was held upward up-ward nearl) with n level with his chin, thereby requiring the other ersnn to raise his hand to that level Then Mr McKlnley would grasp the hand In h clasp with , his fingers nround the flngeia of the other person The Presidents hand would move to the right nnd left three or four times and the handshake would be concluded con-cluded Mr McKlnley rarelv departed from that method of handshaking, and In time those who were with him grew or the habit themselves Soon after Mr McKlnley commenced this methol of handshaking Ihe diplomatic diplo-matic corps took It up and now It Is generally known as the 'diplomatic' handshake 11 Is still In existence nmong the foreign representatives nnd Is extending to other circles Secretary Cortelyou. whose long association with the late President made him familiar with the ways of the Intter grew accustomed ac-customed to shaking hands In the same mann?r as President MeKlnlei He now has no other vva) of clasping the extended ex-tended hand hut this one Public men In Washington often speik of President McKlnley's handshake as one of the most Interesting they have ever known Washington Star, Singing Wood.
