Mi clergyman says | should wait one year out of respect to my deceased wife. The woman is a real gem. She also had a bad marital experience and would marry me tomorrow. We both would like to know what Ann Lan- ders thinks. : — Depending On You Dear Dep: Ann Landers thinks you two should get married tomorrow if you want to. Why pay respect to 17 years of hell? ae] Quotes And who said it? the thoughtless saying of a great princess who, on being informed that the country people had no bread, replied ‘let them eat cake." ” APPEARED LATER Down through the years, it has become accepted that he was thinking of Marie Antoinette when he penned the lines. However, Marie didn’t show up in Paris until 1770 — a good two or three years after the sixth book of Confessions was written. So who DID say it first? Louis XVIII in his Re- lation d'un Voyage a Brux- elles at a Coblentz en 1791, attributes the remark — Que Right, now, class — the first question on the test was “who first employed the phrase ‘let them eat cake.’ " And you, Smithwick Minor, take 100 lines — it was most decidedly NOT Ms Betty Crocker. And a further 100 lines to you, Tom Alsbury, for falling into that old trap of attributing it to Marie An- toinette. Alsbury is that delight- ful, seamy-faced doyen of Vancouver politics. Former mayor, labor leader and sports enthusiast, today he is president of Pensioners’ Ac- tion Now. PLUMBING & HEATING CASTLE TIRE Commercial & Industrial 1050 Columbia Avenue — TRlans. e us for.

That seemed to be that, until a forgotten letter-writer to The Times in 1959 pointed out that John Peckham, (1226-92), Archbishop of Cen- terbury, tells of a similar anecdote in his Latin Letters. And so, it's unlikely we'll ever know just who first spoke these immortal words - and — because of that — the headstrong young Austrian princess, who married a prince at 15 and was exe- cuted as a queen at age 38, is stuck with it. that he bestowed the Marie Antoinette Award upon Pi- erre Trudeau for the prime minister's suggestion that the elderly need use only their common sense to cope with rising food prices. Admittedly, Alsbury didn't come right out and say the star-crossed lady was first with the scurrilous quo- tation, but he left that im- pression. There is little doubt that she did say it, but she didn’t say it first.
