of the bride and bridegroom at a wedding feast or of the principal But guest at a public banquet. how many know why this particu- lar tribute is called a tonet. How many remember that, in Stuart daya, it was the practice to drop a piece of toast into the wine before drinking in order to improve its flavour.

The custom of drinking to a per- son's health goes back to much earlier times. It la probably a survival, in another form, of the ancient religious rite of the Greeks and Romans who used to drink to the gods and to the dead. Later it became general to drink to the health of the ladies. Thus we read In the works of the well-known Latin authors such phrases as "Benovca, bene amicae nostrae" (Here's to you, etc.)

Likewise did the Norseman drink to their gods, Thor, Odin. and Freya, and to their kings. The story is told how Hengist invited King Vortigern to a banquet to see his wonderful new levees. At the end of the meal, Rowena, the beautiful daughter of Hengist, en- tered with a golden cup, filled to the brim with wine, and said "Lauerd Kyaing, wass hell" (Lord King, your health!). The king then drank, and replied, "Drine hell" (Hore's to you!).
