Kiss at the Altar. “Aw, can't they wait untll they get home?” is what many a little page at his big sister's wedding has sald at least to himself when at the conclu- slon of a ceremony the happy man turned and kissed the bride. They kissed each other, of course, but it s he who turned. No, little brother, they cannot wait. It is part of the game. This is a sur- vival of a custom of ancient times, when it preceded by a longer time the ceremony which it now ends. In the days when public betrothals or espousals were the general practice, many an aspiring suitor did not have the wherewithal to endow his prospec- tive bride with the ring which was supposed to consummate the cere- mony. However, a kiss, duly per- formed before witnesses, was con- sidered sufficlently binding. Who will blame these ancestors of ours if they came without rings then, or, having the ring, demanded, in ad- dition, the aiternative, until the offi- clal seal reverted back to nature’s own? And who will blame the modern bridegroom if, for lack of a ceremony of betrothal, he has clung to his privi- lege and transterred it to his wed- ding d | (Covyrisht, 1025.)

The other element in the name, “wout,” s not so clear at first. As a matter of fact, it may be the devel- opment of one word or of another: perhaps one, perhaps botlr. There is | no way of settling the matter defini- tely for the individual bearing this family name without & genealogical research. The family name, of course, is Dutch, and it means literally either “black-wood” or ‘‘black-Walter,” 1f| you find that the older form of the| family name fs ‘“Zwartwoud,” you may be fairly certain that it is s nonymous with the English family | name of Blackwood. 1f, on the other | hand, the final letter in the older | form'is “t” the chances are that in| this case the family name Is built up from the given name of Walter, ( which the Dutch often spelled “Wou: | ter” and contracted by the elimina ton of the final “er,” just as in Eng- lish Walter was ehortened into the | forms Walt and Wat.
