famous shortbread, which in itself is worth travelling to Scotland to taste, and the oatmeal cake, rolled this and baked on a griddle, from which it takai its name. "griddle" cake," also knowatin the north of England as a "griddle cake." Who of us in our young days could bave realised that it was Shrove Tuesday had we been deprived of our pancake? In two other instances the cake is connected with cortalo religious anniversarics; Good Friday's, hot cross bun still survives, and is many rural districts in England an old custom called "mothering" is kept up on Mid-Lent Sunday, when young folks in service make a point of visiting, their parents and carrying to them presents of cakes.
The names of several 10was in England 'a're always associated with certain cakes, which are. supposed to attain a height of perfection only. in these particular districts. Congleton, to Cheshire, is famed for its gingerbread, whilst the writer can bear witness to the fact that the pleasures of the palate once triumphed over the enjoyment of the higher senses, thereby caustag a picnic party which had set out with the intention of visiting the stately home of the Dukes of Devonshire, to wend its way instead to the village of Bakewall, there to partake of its renowned "jas. In vain may we search
for the old lady of Banbury Civas, but at every turn in the ancient city we are importuned to- purchase a Banbury cke. Coming further south, in a town by the silvery Thames we can still buy the tart known as a “Maid of Honour This cake is said to trace its origin back to the Tador period, and to derive its name from the fact that the original recipe for making it was given by a Maid of Honour to Good Queen Bass. It is quite probable that Bluff Hal's daughter, who had many of the weaknesses of- her sex, also added to the list a partiality for a
aqthsome dainty..
Amongst the peasantry in the South-West of Ireland it used to be the custom quite recently lor the housewife always to offer a 'visitor a piece of "hot cake," a species of muffin made- of, flour and sour milk, eaten hot with butter. The very word "hot cake" recalls to me a tiny farmhouse 'bestled amongst the purple tinged mountains of Kerry, Norah, of the violet eyes, would follow up the cake witha draught of fresh,' warm milk for the lady, and whiskey nest for his honour, uttering at our departure an invocation to boly St. Patrick, and a score of other saints, to protect the travellers on their journey. Those were the good old days, e fore the narrow guage railway was constructed, and when the mail car (locally known as "the Jingle") swayed backwards and forwards as lighthearted Paddy drove us over the mount- aids at a breakneck pace; we breathed a hesrty' Amen to the prayer. **
We are not surprised to meet the word caka in our slang. To "take the cake" appears' to be a modern expression, but the saying that one's cake is dough" appears on Des- the pages of England's immortal, pite the delights of this dainty morsel, the application of the word cake person conveys a sense of reproach.
