The ORIGIN OF TOUCHING GLASSES IN DRINK
ING.-A writer in the Historical Magazine for
November thus attempts to explain the ori-
gin of the habit of touching glasses in drink
ing: H
"One branch Of my ancestry was Scotch,
and devoted adherents of Charles Stuart.
While boy my father possessed o heavy
cut-and-thrust basket-hilt sword, which one
of the Richardson family, my fathers mater
nal ancestor, had used at Colloden. From
him this tradition descended to the family. as
to touching glasses.
"When, after the failure of the expedition
of the so-called Pretender, Prince Charles, in
1715, the Prince crossed to France, his sup
porters were beset with spies on every hand
it frequently happened that they were placed
in situations when they could not with safety
refuse to respond TO the common toast, 'The
health of the King 1t was understood be-
tween the faithful, that when the king was
drunk, it was the king DER the water : and
to express this symboically, one glass was
passed over another. This, in time, was mod.
flied to the silent touching of glasses. In the
lower part Of South Carolina and in Virginia,
generally settled with cavaliers, the habit
has prevailed and spread wherever their de-
scendants have gone in the South and West.
1t is the habit Of men to-day, in drinking, to
touch invariably, but I have never known
the custom explained by any one class. You
may rely on this being its true exposition"
