A LADY'S GUIDE TO HANKIE SIGN LANGUAGE
Drawing across the lips—I desire to make your acquaintance.
Drawing across the eyes—I am sorry.
Dropping—We will be friends.
Twirling in both hands—Indifference.
Drawing across the cheek—I love you.
Resting on right cheek—Yes.
Resting on left cheek—No.
Twisting in left hand—I wish to get rid of you.
Twisting in right hand—I love another.
Folding—I wish to speak to you.
Over the shoulder—Follow me.
Opposite corners in both hands—Wait for me.
Drawing across the forehead—We are watched.
Placing on right ear—You have changed.
Letting it remain on the eyes—You are cruel.
Winding around forefinger—I am engaged.
Winding around third finger—I am married.
Putting in the pocket—No more at present.
From Hanky Panky, An Intimate History of the Handkerchief, by Helen Gustafson

5 out of 5 starsI have a bit of a hankie obsession, so this one definitely caught my eye. Not only was it a perfect addition to my hankie collection, it complemented my recent Dapper Day at Disneyland outfit perfectly. I can’t wait to find other opportunities to use it. Thanks so much!
