Today -100: October 3, 1925: Of crockers and handshakes

Aimée Crocker, 60, daughter of the late California Supreme Court Justice Edwin Crocker, marries a Russian prince, Prince Mstislav Galitzine, 25. He’s her 5th husband and 2nd prince, not counting the prince she was engaged to but didn’t marry. She had a ridiculously colorful life.

Russian Minister of Health Nikolai Semashko starts a crusade against handshaking. He’s also not too thrilled with kissing.
