At Chelsea there were two noted bun houses, each claiming to have been patronized by the king, to which the people flocked for miles around on Good Friday to stand under a sort of jsirch or shed and eat of the famous buns.

ARMY jf o5S-- lr jt PRE-EAST- WEEK ER Curious Customs Have Marked the Seven Days Before ious Glor- Easter. formal celebration of the Immediately preceding Is first mentioned by church historian In the third century after Christ. At that time the observance of Holy Week took the form of abstinence from wlue and flesh during the entire week and a total fast on Friday and Saturday. Since then the customs of the week have developed along a great variety of lines. Any elements from Kgyp-tlsGreek, Persian. Jewish and ancient Saxon sources have been adopted and incoriHirated Into the elaborate ceremonials of the Itoman Cuthollc church. The customs of the Greek church and of the Kngllsh church, as well as the many Protestant sects, show variations and changes of ail sorts; while among the people of different countries curious folk customs have nrlsen which seem to have little or no religious significance and which are difficult to trnc to their origins. Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of palms or, in countries where these are not obtainable, branches of box, yew or willow. Afterward these are gathered up, burned and the ashes preserved for use on the Ash Wednesday following. It was formerly the custom in some parts of England to draw through the streets wooden figure of an ass and rider (presenting the Christ. Before this tlie people threw their willow branches, which were csrefully recovered, as they were thought to be a protection against storms and lightning. In other parishes cakes were thrown from the steeple of the rhurch for the village boys. Once Called "Spy Wednesday" Wednesday of Holy Week was once known as Spy Wednesday and celebrated by a tlramntlc representation of the betrayal of Christ by Judns, alth due emphasis upon the traitorous kiss.
