Cake Broken Over Bride.

It is an old belief that marriage
should take place when the moon is
waxing and not waning, if it is TO be
lucky match. and in many north cOun-
try districts a strict inquiry is made as
to the state of the moon before the
wedding day is fixed. In the north,
too, no wise bride will ask an odd
number OF guests to her wedding
feast, for an old superstition has 1t
that If this is done one of the guests
will die before the year is out.
In the Highlands it is taken as a
terribly unlueky sign if dog should
run between the bridal pair on their
wedding day; while in Derbyshire
prospective brides still tell the bees Of
their wedding. and decorate the hives
for the occasion. Inparts of England
and Scotland there exists an ancient
custom for which reason is hard to
find, by which part of the wedding
cake is broken over the head of the
bride. and the guests scramble for
pieces.-LOndon Answers.
