a,a,,s awox With the bride.

In many Of the border counties Of
England the quaint old bridal customs
Of hundreds of years ago are still In
vogue. The parents carefully abstain
from appearing Mt the marriage cere-
mOny, clinging to the idea that the
bridegroom still rides away on foam
ing steed with his bride behind him as
in the good old days. The brides pre-
fer the custom to the modern method
of being given away at the altar In the
orthodox fashion.

A Curtous Royal Custom.

When any Spanish sovereign dies, the
body is at once submitted to the proc
ess of fossilizatiOn, nor can 1t be placed
in the royal pantheon until the body
has been absolutely turned into stone.
Curiously enough, the period required
for fossilization varies considerably.
Some royal bodies have become solidi-
fed In very short period, while others
have taken years before the fossliiza-
ton took place. 1t took exactly thlr-
teen years to convert the body of the
father of Alfonso XIII. of Spain into
stone
