Many and curious are the customs
regarding brides. In Switzerland the
bride on her wedding day will permit
no one, not even her parents, TO kiss
her upon the lips. In parts Of rural
England the cook pours hot water over
the threshold after the bridal couple
have gone in order to keep it warm for
another bride, says the London Globe.
The pretty custom OF throwing the
slipper originated in France An old
woman, seeing the carriage of her
young king, Louis MIL. passing on
the way from church, where he had
Just been married. took off her shoe
and, flinging it at his coach, cried out,
Ills all / have, your majesty, but
may the blessings Of God 20 with it."
There is ali old superstition In Ger
many against marriages in May. A fa-
vorite wedding day in Scotland is Dec
81. so that the young couple can leave
their old life with the old year and be-
gin their married life with the new
one. The Italians permit no wedding
gifts that are sharp or pointed, CON

If the traveller is near a mass OF

An eX-postmaster was one Of a
group in a city hall corridor recently
engaged IN discussing queer manifes-

young men in love, Il dispatch in the

recommendations that the postmaster
was moved to wonder that the young
fellow did not go into mercantile life.

of the postoflice he might not only get
his iiancees letters the sooner, but also

Race Course.

Something About "a Historic English
Race Course.
The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. It is long way from a sta
ton and is not near any town, says
the London Taller 1t is on hill the
top OF which is shaped like a horse
shoe the space between the two horns
being represented by deep rayine.
The course runs round the horseshoe,
the start being at the end Of one
horn and the finish at the end of the
other. The result of this is that the
eqnestrians who on other courses con-
trive TO see both start and finish by
the simple process Of riding across
while the race is IN progress cannot
do 50 at Goodwood they must elect
which they will see and remain there.
On the other hand, the course is very
easy TO follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern, but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days Of William
IL, when we hear OF the e('odwooG
hunt as In existence. In 1900, howeu-
er, the then Duke of Richmond made a
new course, which is practically tile
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed, and in order to celebrate
this regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance Of the
hunt and some officers of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry, and prizes to the
value of about $1,000 were put up.
This meant a good sum in those days.
This was the first Goodwood meeting
of Importance, and from that year 1t
became an annual event.
