WAS FIRST SILVER WEDDING
Now Popular Ceremony Said to Have
Originated Through a Within Of
Monarch Of France.

The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign Of Hughes Capet.
king Of France. in 9S7. Once as Hughes
was arranging his uncle's affairs he
found on one of the estates a servant
who had grown gray in the service of
his relative. On the farm with this old
man was also a serving woman, who
was as old as he and also unmarried,
who had been the most devoted and
hardworking of the woman servants of
the kings uncle. When the king heard
these praises of the two he ordered
them to be brought before him and
said to the woman:
your service is great. greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough. for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man, and therefore | will give you a
reward. At your age l know of none
better than dowry and husband
1.-THE dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to, you. II this
man who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you
then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly. how is it possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?"
Then it shall be a silver wedding"
answered the king. "and here | give
you wedding ring" drawing a costly
ring from his finger and placing the
hands Of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France, and raised such enthusiasm
that it became fashion after rs years
of married life to celebrate a silver
wedding.-Lippincott's Magazine.
