was present In English society the rule is OBJ
served to this dey and in the event Of the pres
of any British prince princess Of the
blood at dinner no one IS allowed TO q finger
bowl except the royal guest.
The word toast" used for describing the pro-
posal Of the health in after dinner speech,
dates back to medieval times. when the loving
cup still regarded Indispensable feat
ure of every banquet. The cup would he filed
to the brlm with wine mead in the centre of
which would be floating q piece Of toasted
bread. After putting his lips thereto the host
would pass the cup to the guest of honor. seated
on his right hand. and the latter would in turn
pass It on 10 his right hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate round the table
each one present taking a sip While drinking
toward his right hand neighbor, until finally the
cup would come back to the host who would
drain what remained and swallow the piece of
toast in honor Of all the friends assembled at his
table.
History teaches US that the ancient Greeks
the Romans the Assyrians and tbs Egyptians
were in the habit OF drinking one anothers
health at dinner. Indeed, at Athens the ell
quette concerning what may be described as the
LIQUID courtesies Of this kind was very strict and
elaborate, being known by the name of phlothe-
sis The participants of the repast were in the
habit of drinking TO one another until they
could carry more. and then they would pour
out the remainder OF the wine the altar OF
any pagan deity that might happen to be handy.
At Rome the same custom prevailed. Post
prandial oratory, however, was severely con-
demned as out of place. and while the Greeks
contented themselves with exclaimIng. they
put the cup of wine to their lips. Il salute you:
be happy" the Romans restricted themselves TO
the exclamation "Propino!" which is the Latin
for II drink to your health"
In conclusion 1t may be suggested that IN
view OF the important role which after dinner
toasts have played throughout the reign of En-
peror william who IS far and away the most
eloquent and brilliant after dinner speaker at
the present moment in Europe. and who has
repeatedly awaited himself OF banQuets for the
enunciaton Of new theories and new policies.
there could be more fitting epitaDh on his
tombstone. when in the fulness Of years he is
gathered to his fathers than the single and cpl
graInpatic word "Propino."

THE ROSE. E.C0L0RED CLASS

Once when a child, l found somewhere
A piece of clear red glass.
And when I looked through 1t, it brought
A miracle to pass:
Became most wondrous bright,
And tree and flower and everything
Rejoiced in rosy light.
And through the years of later life
Some happy folk I've known
Who'd found the magic of the glass
And made it all their own;
Some happy folk for whom the sun
Still shone on cloudy days.
For whom the flowers would always
spring
Along the stony ways;
Brave-hcarted folk who yet could smile
When troubles closely crept.
Who ever had a word of cheer
For those who sighed or wept;
Dear folk whom it was good to know,
Who made the dull grow bright,
And shed about their way on earth
A rosy heavenly light
And oft / think how good a time
'Twould surely bring to pass
If all of us could look on life
Through their rose-colored glass.
