Tccc Wedding Gaze
to Old Roman Custom

Tie wedding cake Is believed to be
the survival of an old Roman practice
when The bride and groom not only
ate together as sign of their klnsl!p
und mutual love, but feasted the
guests as well At this time II was
good e, quGtte to break the cake over
the brides head us II sign OF plentl-
fuIness, In the marriage ceremonies
of the early Anglo-Saxons huge bas'
kets of dry crackers were employed
After the feast each guest took q
cracker home with him and the re.
malnder was distributed to the poor
Later II became the custom for the
guests themselves to bring to the we'd
ding small, richly spiced buns, which
were piled In one huge mound on the
table It was u common occurrence
for the bride and groom to attempt to
kiss each other over this mound and
II they succeeded they were assured
lifelong prosperity" II Is said the
wedding cake of today Is due to the
genius of n French cook, who. while
travelling In England, observed the In
convenience of stacking hundreds OF
these small cakes In mound and con
celved the Idea of cementlng the
mound into single huge cake with
icing. At the wedding feast II was
the duty of the newly married man
to wait ON his bride at the table,
whence cnme the name bridegroom
sIgnifying one who serves the bride.

All France Mystifed
by Forged Bank Note

In Hunts Merchants Magazine for
the year 1859 Is an interesting account
OF n French bank note so cleverly imj-
tnted that up to the time Of the print
ing of the article It had not been
discovered. II seems, says the Market
for Exchange. that a certain Mr..
Aguda, whose ability as a photog-
rapher gave him an international rep
ulation, laid a wager that he would
initiate n French bank note so exactly
that the difference could not be de-
tected. On the day appointed the note
was ready and laid side by side with
the original upon his desk. Judge,
Jury and bank experts were oil eager
to inspect the notes, confident that
some little discrepancy would guide
their decision. Mr.. Aguda, who had
made the note, picked them both up
to examine them more closely by the
stronger light of the window before
handing them to his judges, and 10
so doing accidentally mixed them so
that neither he nor his judges could
tell the bill from the fake.
The article closes with the remark,
"There they lie stlll-two thousand
franc notes-and all connolsseurs are
invited to give an opinion. Needless
to say that the Bank Of France has
sent Its most expert judges, but with
out effect In later number OF this
same magazine there appeared an ar
ticle which claimed that by means Of
the stereoscope forgery Of bank notes
could be easily detected. One cannot
help wondering II the claimant sue
cessfully demonstrated the effective
ness Of the stereoscope and solved the
mystery of the two thousand-franc
French bank notes.

National Emblem of
Wales Is Red Dragon

While the harp Is a Welsh national
instrument, 1t Is not recognized as the
national emblem. The national EN-
blem for Wales is the red dragon OF
Cadwalader, the last of the Welsh
kings. This emblem had n place In
the royal arms of Great Britain as
supporter In the reign Of King Henry
VII, but that king, toward the end OF
his reign, changed the supporters,
which were the two white lions of
March, to the Welsh dragon on the
dexter side, with the white greyhound
on the sinister. The latter emblem
was representative of either the De
Beauforts, his own ancestors, or the
Nevilles, the ancestors of his wife,
both of these families using the white
greyhound as family badge In 1928
his son, Henry VIII, used for support
ers to the royal arms the golden lion
on the dexter, while the red dragon
Of Wales, which his father had used
on the dexter, he relegated to the sim
lister side. These supporters continued
In use until the accession Tin 1909
Of James vi of Scotland as James ]
Of England. James kept the golden
lion on the dexter, but changed the
red dragon Of Wales on the sinister to
the unicorn, as in the royal arms Of
Scotland-an emblem Of purity.

not penned In the hold Of a prison
ship as the old school books taught.
Legendary history was that Key
was q prisoner of war while watching
the British bombardment Of Baltimore
and Fort McHenry during the war of
1912. The correct story has been
brought to light by the Woman's
Home Companion, which shows that
Key was permitted to go to the Brit
lsh flagship under a truce signal to
obtain the release Of friend who had
been taken prisoner, and arrived just
as the enemy was ready to open fire.
The young poet developed his verses
during the anxiety of the night, but
1t was while returning to shore In a
small boat the following morning that
he wrote exultantly ""Tls the Star

read short thesis on Greek tragedy.
Knowing nothing of the subject, he
asked the help of friend, who was
