Oldtinae Wedding Cake

M. Alcide Mirobolant wished to sig

up with IAN ice of plombiere and

which had laid, before it entered, a

by a wreath of virginia. orange flow

Guitar Long Famous
as Musical Instrument

In the National museum at Naples
Is a statue of Apollo, the god Of music,
seated and holding the cithara-a
small harp-shaped instrument from
which the Tyre was derived as long ago
as 100 B. c., according to a writer in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In
Greece the cithara was used both to
accompany the voice In song and in
epic recitation and as a solo instru-
ment at the national games. The
Greeks of Asia Minor transformed the
cithara into the guitar, and later still
the application of the bow to the guitar
resulted in the violin. The Moors car
ried the guitar into Spain. a country
where, as In Italy and France, it has
always been regarded with the highest
favor among all classes. In the early
part of the Seventeenth century an
Italian guitarist was court musician in
England, and playing the guitar be-
came a fashionable accomplishment.

First Loves Lose Out

Few men marry the first woman
with whom they fall in love, says Elsa
Rema, the Dorothy Dix of Germany.
Chance, she says, is mightier than
Cupid and usually first loves become
separated. Men marry readily
when young, Fraulein Rema finds, but
when they are confirmed bachelors it
takes sympathetic housekeepers TO
land them. Widowers are easy marks
because they no longer know how to
live alone. They are used to home
and feminine caresses and are unable
to do without the comforts and ten
derness that goes with married
life. Same on this side of the

Meats and Digestion

Meat is composed Of muscle, con-
nective tissue, and fat. The muscle
f1bers are composed Of thin walls
which contain the building material
for the body; water, mineral salts and
extractives. These fibers are held to
gether by little tissues and between
these little muscle fibers are bound to-
gether, and the more fat the meat con-
tains the more indigestible the meat.
Hence, pork is more indigestible than
beef. The digestive juices have a
harder time to penetrate the closely
bound pork fiberS.

Courage is from first to last a vic
