THE LANGUAGE OF THE GLOVE.
“ Yos” is said by letting one glove fall; and the gloves arc rolled in the right hand to say “ No.” If you would have it understood that you have become indiTcrcnt, partly unglove your left hand. “ I do not love you any more” is pronounced by striking the gloves several times against the chin. For “ I hate you” turn the glove inside out. “ I wish to be beside you” is said by smoothing the glove gently. To ask if you are loved, the left hand is gloved, leaving the thumb uncovered. If you wish to make the charming confession, “ I love you,” both gloves are let to fall at once. To give a warning, “be attentive—wc arc observed,” the gloves are turned round the fingers. If you would show that you are displeased, strike the back of your hands against the gloves; “ furious,” take them away.
