The Lost Art of Carrying a Hanky

I carry a handkerchief. Because it’s useful (as opposed to  being nostalgic)

If a colleague spills coffee, a child cries or you’re caught in the humidity in Singapore in the sun, a hanky is a small act of preparedness even an act of care.

Do	Don't
Keep it clean	Make a show of it
Offer it without fuss	Reuse it immediately
Use it to solve small problems	Treat it as a prop

Fancy or plain, this is not about the fabric, it’s about readiness and consideration.

Small signals travel far.
