The Wsdd,ao Cake.

The wedding cake is borrowed
from antiquity. The original Ro-
man marriage was effected by the
simple process of the bride and
bridegroom breaking cake of bread
and eating it together.
This in time developed into the
bride cake. The bride cut it because
it was the duty of the woman to pre-
pare food for the man. Everybody
knows the superstition about sleep
ing on wedding cake. Country girls.

forward to the weddings Of their

of wedding cake. which, passed

l.~.I. on the Sick List.

Precious stones are subject to Sc
rious changes. The discoloration Z
which attacks them when they have
been exposed to the air for long
time is spoken of as a malady. The
influence of light makes itself felt
plainly on topazes and garnets. The
garnet turns much paler in short
time, while the topaz assumes
darker shade and even loses the
brillianey possessed by it when
freshly cut. The most sensitive
stone in this respect is the opal. 1t
suffers always by excess of heat.
Owing to its chemical composition it
is sensitive to all changes Of temper
ature. Pearls also deteriorate very
easily. Indeed the only way to keep
them in good 'health" is to wear
them next to the skin night and
day. Society women usually do 90.
