This book is anything, but short or abstract. It is complete and fascinated and very interesting and readable... great story of art, fashion, and history in one book. The Florida author is in competition race with James Fenimore Cooper's "Autobiography of the Pocket-handkerchief."

His primary use of them is for mopping a sweaty brown. <br /><br />I suppose your list of handkerchief uses makes sense, but I am somewhat of a germphobe and the idea of using the same cloth to open a dirty restroom door handle, then the subway strap and THEN use it on my face...I don't think so. If I don't want those germs on my hands, I most certainly do not want them on my face. <br /><br />I also used to teach elementary school and the school nurses now teach small children to sneeze into the crook of the elbow to prevent the transmissions of germs from grubby little fingers to everything else in the classroom.ms. mindlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472845738179189141noreply@blogger.com
