SERVANTS’ LIVERIES.
Had Their Origin During the Reign o)
King Pepir. of France.
So far as ( the present writer is
aware, the earliest mention of “liv
eries” made in history was during
the reign of King Pepin of France,
who flourished about the year 750
A. D.
A form of amusement to which
King Pepin was partial was what
were termed cours plenieres. These
were assemblies at which, upon the
king’s invitation, all the lords and
courtiers of France were expected
to be present. They were held
twice in each year —at Christmas
and Faster —and generally lasted
for about a week at each time.
Sometimes these gatherings took
place at the king’s palace, some
times in the neighborhood of one
of the larger French cities and
sometimes in some rural district.
While the festival lasted the king
took all Ids meals in public, bishops
and dukes alone being privileged to
sit at the royal table. A second ta
ble was provided for abbots, counts
and other leading men. and at both
tables there was shown more pro
fusion than delieaey, both in the
quality of the meats and drinks and
the manner in which they were serv
ed. Flutes, hautboys and.other mu
sical insi rumen's were flayed be
fore the bearer- of each course as
it was removed from the tables.
When dessert was served twenty
heralds, each holding aloft a jewel
ed goblet, shouted thrice, “Largesse,
largesse from tin* most potent of
king o !" As thov shouted flow scat
tered among the crowds handfuls of
gold and silver coins. Then the
trumpets were blown, while the bet
ter class spectators shouted and the
meaner sort scrambled and often
fought vigorously for the money
scattered l>v the heralds.
Charles YII. of France put a final
stop to the cours plenieres. alleging
that the expense attendant upon his
wars with England made it impossi
ble for him to continue them. One
of the severest causes of expense, it
was explained, arose from the fact
that, beginning with King Pepin’s
time, etiquette and custom alike de
manded that the king should upon
these occasions give.an entire suit
of new and gorgeous clothing not
only to his own servants and re
tainers, but also to those of the
queen and all the princes of the
blood royal. These garments were
said to be livres—that is, “deliver
ed” at the king’s expense —and
from this word the English word
“livery” was derived, as was the cus
tom of providing servants with “liv
ery” from the above mentioned
practice of certain of the French
kings.- 1 ■" ' mlard.

who says: “1 was trucking on a small scale, and decided I would try a few M
sacks of your fertilizer, as it was cheap and said to be good. I put it un- '£?
