This custom one writer traces back' to England to the time of the Nor man conquest, if not before. At first the articles bestowed were under stood to be mere loans, to be return- ed when the couple were well estad lished in their new home. But whea the feudal lord increased in power he grew to expect presents for his newe ly wedded children from those depen- dent upon him. Later laws were pass- ed compelling a present in value up to one-twentieth of the yearly rent of the tenant. To such an extent did this custom grow that among the nobility and others of wealth, it became an open commercial transaction. When Eliza- beth, the daughter of King James I, was married her father received the sum of £21,000. With this greed for| the money and other “presents,” poorer people originated the “bid- ding,” or “penny” wedding. At this light refreshments were served and & plate was passed around for cash “offerings.” The sums collectetd often aggregated a hundred pounds (fully equivalent to $500 in modern mon- ey). It was from this custom that the modern one of the “pound” party, often given for the newly mar ried in America, was derived. In order to increase the gifts there was prepared. an entertainment call ed an “ale.” A green bush was stuck up in front of the house and every body was made welcome. These en- tertainments proved highly profitable, but so riotous did they become that many of the shires of England passed laws allowing only thirty-two at any one “ale.” Brass Band Composed of Lepers. On the Island of Colon in the Phik ippine archipelago,is to be heard the most select and umrhblo brass. band in the world. It is made up wholly of lepers, banished there to a living death, for the island is the ha- ven and retreat for the lepers of the United States possessions in the far east. The total population of the fo- land is in the neighborhood of 4,778, all of whom are under treatment.
