marvel at your practical knowledge.
And you win live long in the memory
Of your hostess When soup Is served,
opportunity viii present itself to show
your superior attachments in gastron-
omy. COnhdentially inform your Wis a
Wis, in voice sufficiently loud TO be
heard all around the table. that Bouil-
leboi Is the only person you eser knew
who could make soup ht 10 eat. Every
eye will be turned toward you in ador-
alton. Your hostess will feel q sort Of
reflected greatness in having n 50 gif-
ted ~condeseend TO grace her humble
board.
Then blow into your soup As though
you were under contract 10 furnish mo-

will show your naughty contempt for
conyentionalities. For q similar reason
you viii eat from the point Of your
spoon. This movement will make you
look like the sword ~swallower. Your
elbow will threaten your right hand

big \ piece as you can into your mouth.
and then pick out the bones one by one
at your leisure. You will resemble the
sleight of hand performer pulling rib
bons from his mouth. Always eat with
your knife, and close your lips tightly
about It when you withdraw 1t
from your mouth. This will keep
your knife clean during the whole meal.
Cleanliness Is next 10 godliness, you
know. With the meats comes an ex-

yourself respected now. by your left
hand as well rs your right hand neigh

agreeable by watching your oppor-
tunities in conversation. When a gen.
tleman has transferred 4 forkful OF
food from his plate TO his mouth adj
dress him suddenly. 1t Is very instruc-
tive TO see n gentleman try TO talk with
his mouth full. 1t Is very amusing to
see a gentleman half choked in his en-
deavor TO get his mouth full Of food out
Of the way, that he may answer you.
OF course you will eat all the while you
are talking, and talk while you eat.
Thus you will pay a delicate compli-
ment TO your hostess cook, show your
social qualities, and prevent others, pos
sibly, from eating more than Is good
for them. II pudding is served, say 1t
doesn't agree with you. But eat Of II
just the same, and call for more. And
here Is an admirable opportunity TO
dilate upon the i~dosyncrasies Of your
digestive apparatus. The noblest study
OF mankind is man. II pudding Is not
forthcoming, remark upon the singular
idea that some people have that pud-
ding may be omitted from n dinner for
people who understand such things.
When the pie comes, peep under 1t, OF
turn 1t over like a griddle cake. This,
especially. where the lady Of the house
does her own baking. II the pie Is I'M
der done II would be the right thing to
mention the fact. II It be done too
brown, say something appropriate to
the occasion. When the lady makes a
alp In her cooking she likes to be told
Of It publicly. Coffee should be drank
from the saucer, rs though 1t were an
oyster in its shell. This gives you a
jaunty air. II a private table, never
pass anything to your neighbor. You
may want all there is yourself. Never
hesitate to ask for what you cannot
reach. You love TO wait upon yourself.
Others must love to wait on you. Re-
member the toothpick.
