Th Practice "Wan Iiifttltntcd by thm
Early ltomait Hitlers.
Tho practice of lclnsing tho handa
was Instituted by the early Roman
rulers as n marl; of subjection us much
as ono of respect, nnd under the first
Cffisnr the custom wns kept up, hut
only for a time.
These worthies conceived the idea
that the proper homage due to thelt,
exalted station called for less familiar'
modes of obeisance, no the privilege
of kissing the emperor's hand was re
served as u special mark of condescen
sion or distinction for ofllccrs of high
rank.
No such restriction, however, vat
placed on tho emperors themselves,
who, If they wished to confer sIkhuI
honor on uuy of their subjects, kissed
either tint mouths or tho eyes of those
thoy wished specially to favor, the kiss
generally intimating somo promotion
or personal satisfaction for soma
achievement
Roman fathers considered the ;r.nc
Uce of kissing of so delicate a nature
ttat thoy never kissed their wives In
the presence of their daughters
Then, too, ouly the nearest relatives
wcro allowed (o kiss their kindred of
tbojgentler sex on the mouth, for ic
those days, as now, kissing was ttct
mere arbitrary sign, but it w:m th
upontnnoous language of tho affection
especially that of love.
Under tho Romans if a lover kissed
his betrothed before marriage she In
herited half of his worldly goods in tha
vent of his death before the marrluga
tcrcmouy, nnd If she died her heritaga
descended to her nearest relatives.
