Now, 1t is very important that people should
OF course fashion changes as much in table
etiquette as in anything else, and il would be
very humillatlng for person to find that he or
she was eating dinner IN last years style; and
in order that this may oe avoided, Harper's
Bazaar has kindly given code that will enable
even the most ignorant to eat according to the
very latest fashion. OF course the old idea
that people go to the table to satisfy their
hunger, has long since been exploded When
liqueurs are handed with the ices" says the
Bazaar, young ladies are not expected to take
them" Young laJies Srelt manifest disad
vantages as far as wines are concerned. g A
young lady" continues the busy r., should not
drink more than half glass of sherry with
soup or fish, one glass OF champagne during
dinner, and half o glass OF sherry at desert.
III young lady desires to indulge more freely
in VINE she must get married. "A married lady
may drink glass and half OF cbampag ne
during dinner, glass OF sherry at soup and
half a glass o, sherry at dessert" She ought to
say. Only half glass, please. when the wine
is offered to her. The Bazaar neglects to state
a fact we'll known IN higher circles, that IL the
person really wants more than half glass a
wink must be tipped TO the waiter at the mo-
ment the glass Is asked for. 1t is to be hoped
that persons outside the pale OF fashionable
society will not imagine that knives and forks
and fingers are 10 be used unfortunately.
Far otherwise. Use a gold ice spoon with ices,
a knife and fork with pears and apples a spoon
with 4 melon: strawberries and cream with
spoon and fork; strawberries alone are taken
by the stem and dipped in powdered sugar
served with cream they are eaten with spoon
dessert cake is broken by the hands and eaten
piece meal, and grapes, gooseberries, etc., are
taken in the fingers. At tree lunch stands or
penny restaurants these rules may be ignored.

LEARNING TO sEw-To be handy with the
needle, is one OF the sterling accomplishment
OF every educated woman. To be able TO take
the stitch in time,' is worth all the time and
trouble that are required to learn the art. Like
walking, reading, and the many other things
which we come to do without special thought
the learning to sew is slow process, and
should be begun while the child is still quite
young The girl should not only have the use
of the thread needles, and patchwork, abut be
instructed how to take the stitches, turn the
corners, AMI do the various things connected
with needlework. We are not excluding the
BOYS in our remarks, because they need tC
learn to thread needle and do general sewing
Men are many times so situated that they must
depend upon themselves for their necessary
sewing Even il it is in an age OF sewing ma
chimes, it is best that all children should lern tc
use the simple, common, old-fashionsd kind
which can never be wholly superseded. The
amusement and occupation that sewing fur
nshes litto folks afford sufficient reason why
all mothers should see tina their girls, and boys
too, learn to sew-but the very practical use oi
the needle in after life, is the principal thing
after all.-American Agriculturist.
