Leap Year Cake
This" cake a survival of a rather
pleasing Leap Year custom waB baked on
Feb. 20th.
Imbedded somewhere in the cake was
a little token of good luck to the one
finding it. Usually connected with a fes
tive occasion the cake was a decided im
provement on the customs described else
where in this ad.
In different countries the token grant
ed different privileges To some it was
supposed to bring good luck to others it
assured marriage within the year. Should
a married person get it, that was assur
ance of a long and happy married life,
while if it went to an unmarried girl
she had the right to propose to the man
of her choice and he was supposed to ac
cept her.
Tomorrow, Feb. 29th we offer a mod
ern duplication of this Leap Year cere
monial cake Hidden therein is the magio
token.

Quaint LEAP YEAR CUSTOMS
EAP year at one time was taken quite seriously During the twelfth century it was the
custom to permit any maiden lady present at a wedding to propose to any unmarried man
I present if she could get possession of the bride's garter. Should a man get the garter no
d proposals were permitted. Katherine Richer in "The Customs of Mankind", says that
- after a few brides were ruined in the rush and many others practically denuded the cus
tom was abolished.
In 1288 Scotland because of confusion of Leap Year customs passed the following law:
"It is statut and ordinant that during the rein of hir maist blissit megeste for ilk yeare knowne as
lipe year, ilk mayden ladye of bothe highe and low wyfe, he shall be mulcted ye sume ane pundis or :
lykes, albeit he refuses to taik hir to be his lowful wyfe, he shall be mulcted ye sume ane pundies or
less as his estait may be; except and awis gif he can make it appeare that he is betrothit ane ither
woman he then shall be free."
A later custom and one still surviving in some parts of the world involves Leap Year cake This
custom is fully outlined in the bakery section of this ad.
