Quaint Old Custom Still Survives
in England.
In accordance with a custom be-
lieved to have originated more than
500 years ago, twenty-one aged wi-
dows of the parish of St. llarthelo-
tnew the Great, in the ward of Far-
ringdon Without, attended St.
Bartholomew's church recently to
receive sixpence, which they had
to pick off a gravestone.
This custom is stated to be the
survival of a bequest left by a lady
for the provision of doles for wi-
dows over sixty years of age. on
