Glove more than hand warmer

ROMANTIC OLD
legends about gloves
date back hundreds of
centuries. Here are
some to share with your
special loved ones:

© A duel was some-
times provoked by a
person offering a gloved
hand in greeting.

°To ‘take up the
glove’’ meant an accep-
tance of a challenge.

eLong before the
Christian era, in the sale
of land, a glove was

given to the purchaser
as a guarantee of the ac-
tual transfer of posses-
sion — it represented
the title and deed to the
property.

© In the 17th century,
a young lady would
sleep with one glove
under her pillow in the
hope of finding her
mate (somewhat similar
to the custom of sleep-
ing on the wedding cake
of a friend with the
hope of an immediate
romance).

* Long ago, when a
young man married, he
gave to his bride’s fa-
ther one of his gloves as
a symbolic guarantee
that he could care for
his bride single-handed.

* As the word glove
mingles in loving tradi-
tions and romance, and
contains the word love,
so too, it seems the
fingers of many gloves
touch the hearts and
lives of people who
wear them in pride.
