JfaS Wig?'; The custom of drinking a person’s health had its origin in Ancient Rome when the fashionable and pleasant method was to down a glass of wine for each letter of the lady’s name. Roman lads about town were constantly toasting their mistresses in this fashion, and it is debatable whether the damsel was chosen for her charm or for .the length of her name. Actually the word “Toast” dates only from the Seventeenth Century, in which period most drinks were served with small pieces of toast floating in them. DJ.LAGER A WAITEM ATA QUALITY PRODUCT D.B.
