About Introdpctions-

A Southern society writer lays down
these rules:
Young women, when introduced to
young men. should not offer 10 shake
hands.
When the introduction is given the
rame should be pronounced in a clear.
distinct tone.
1t is had form TO introduce on the
street or in a place of amusement.
In the introduction of elderly people
the younger should be introduced to
the elder-not the reverse.
The form of making an introduction
is the following: Mrs. -, allow
me TO present Mr.. -; or Mrs. A,
Mr.. b. desires the honor of knowing
you"
Two ladies can shake hands on being
introduced. 1t is considered good form.

THEY o THE BELL.
The Grocer Held the Deacon TO HI.
Promise.

The Grocer Held the Deacon TO His
Promise.
The trustees Of a church near De-
troit found 1t necessary to establish a
fund to purchase a bell, says the De-
troit Free Press. The membership was
small and composed principally of per-
sons who were unable to do more in
a financial way than they had already
done toward building the church edifice
Grocer Smith, n of the trustees, be-
lieved 1t would be a good plan to So
licit contributions to get the 5000 re-
CURED among the few well-to-do mem
bers OF the congregation.
If Deacon Briefly took a notion, :"
said the grocer TO another trustee, "he
is able TO buy the bell. He won't
though, because he's the closest man In
the village. I'm going to him just the
same to do my best to make him see
his way clear to give us $780,"
The first man the grocer solicited the
next day was Deacon Briefly. The
deacon was unusually grumpy that
morning and was nearly unnerved
when the grocer explained his mission.
II know I'm a member of the church,
but things are SO close that ] can't do
much just now
How much will you give toward
buying the bell?" asked the grocer.
We'll, l reckon III give as much as
anybody" declared the deacon.
you were always good at your word,
deacon, so you and / will buy the bell
The grocer held the deacon to his
promise. The grocer was not a wealthy
man, and 1t came a triie hard for him
to spare 500 from his capital. but 1t
did him a world of good TO hear the
bell tolling a few months later.

The Origin Of the Wedding Cake.

Wedding cake is derived from the
most solemn of the three ceremonies
observed by the ancient Romans and
was called conparreatio. Ii was per-
formed by the chief priest in the pres
ence of witnesses and the men II
women ate a cake of sailed wheaton
bread, throwing part of 1t on the sac
rifce which was that of a sheep. BY
this ceremony the woman belonged to
the man by sacred laws and became a
partner in all his substance. When the
bride arrives at her home in some of
the rural districts OF England the lin
fair cake" is broken over her head and
bits distributed among the unmarried
guests who put il under their pillows
to dream on. The first egg laid by a
hen is used by the bridesmaids to fore
tell the professions of their future hus-
bands. the egg being broken in half
and the white dropped in a glass of
the shape which it assumes. The yoke
of this egg is then mixed into a cake;
one young oma kneels ON the floor.
a baking board is laid on her back,
while another mixes the cake with oat-
meal, salt and SCOT. The mixing Is done
in silence, the mixer being careful TO
keep one foot within the doorstep and
the other without. The cake is then
baked, broken and a portion Of It eat
en-, the remainder being kept to dream
IN. On 81. Faiths Day a similar cake
Is made of flour, sugar, salt and spring
water. 1t is mixed in silence by three
unmarried women, turned nine times.
three times by each mixer, baked and
cut into three equal portions. Each
bit is then divided into nine slips. each
of which is passed through a wedding
ring belonging to a woman who has
been married at least seven years.
While disrobing the bits of cake are
eaten with this invocation:
20 good st. Faith. be kind tonight
And bring to me my hearts delight.
Let me my future husband view,
And be my vision chaste and true"
