here are some old time women's glove codes:


The Secret Language of the Glove

A young lady in the 1880s might draw from a variety of ploys to carry on with admirers without arousing the suspicions of watchful chaperone or mother. If she was intersted in starting a conversation, she smoothed her gloves, but if indifferent, she rolled both gloves into her right hand. When she was vexed she made a cross with both gloves and set them on her lap. Tapping the chin signified "I love another." Gently tossing the gloves upward was a delicate way of noting "I am engaged." But, if she dropped both gloves, a gentleman knew she loved him.

2. There is a family story about my MIL

She heard that her husband to be was interested in her, but didn't know if she was engaged or married because she was wearing gloves. So, she made sure to ride the same elevator he was at work - and she conspicuously removed her gloves and showed off her bare left hand!

It worked, too!
