Yet at one time, this was a favorite Christmas dish which was brought in with a great deal of cere- mony by the lady, most distinguished | in all the company for beauty and high position. Many times this dish was garnished with the head and tail of | the peacock In such a way as to ap- pear that the bird was alive. Knights made vows over it to break spear in defense of beauty and distress. It was | this ceremony which gave rise to the once popular oath “by cock and pie.” Probably the use of the peacock ple as a Christnas dish arose from the old belief that the flesh of the pea- | cock is incorruptible which of course | would make it a symbol of immortal- HICKEN ple, beefsteak Die, - UNIVERSITY SCIENTIST VISITS MARQUESAS ISLE Prof. F.
