Hence the Loving Chm.

The best account of the origin of the
loving cup Is that given by the late
Lord Lyons, formerly an ambassador
in Paris. According to his narrative,
King Henry of Navarro while hunting
became separated from his compan-
ions, and, feeling thirsty, called at a
wayside Inn for a cup of wine. The
serving maid, on handing 1t to him as
he sat on horseback, neglected to pre-
sent the handle. Some wine was spill
ed over, and his majesty's white gaunk
let's were soiled. While riding home the
king bethought him that a two-handled
cup would prevent a recurrence of this.
80 his majesty had a two-handled cup
made at the royal pottery and sent II
to the inn On HE text visit he called
again for wine, when to his astonish-
