Probably the most strange present ever given to a bride was that, which an eccentric old gentleman sent on tho occasion of the marriage of Sir Edward Ridley, formerly Mr Justice Ridley. It was the skeleton of an Austrian grenadier. Th© donor had once seen the future Lady Ridley making a study from a skull and vowed he would send her a whole skeleton when she married. So among the presents was a tall oak box containing the skeleton, a gruesome addition to Miss Bromley Davenport’s other charming gifts. 6NIM- UP, CIARQUE or SWALLOW FLUENZOL
