Old Lord Mayors’ Banquets.
There used to 1-e a good deal of sav
agery about London's lord mayors
banquets, even In times c omparatively
recent. Th" humbler guests at least
struggled with each other for fo cl and
had to bring their own table cutlery If
they wished to eat decently and in
comfort. For instance, Samuel I’c-pys
tells us how. at the banquet served up
two years after the restoration, there
were many tables, "but none In the
ball but the mayors and the lords of
the privy council that had napkins or
knives, which was very strange.”
Still more strange to such a lover of
female beauty as I’epys was the plain
tress of feature of the city dames
Of the Indus' room he says: “I could
not discern one handsome face. » • •
Being wearied with looking upon a
company of ugly women, I went away
and took coach and through Cheapside
and there saw the pageants, which
were very silly.”
