Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-02-12

There is nothing that clings to person
more teraciously than i'll manners SC
| CURED at the home table; In fact, SO diff
| flcult Is 1t to divest oneself Of them that
these are almost invariably the shibboleth
that betray ones early habits. Let the
little ones be taught to use their knife
and fork properly, to eat their soup from
the side Of the spoon with no noise, to
speak in q quiet tone to walters and wait
patiently, serving each other at table in
that spirit which teaches everywhere to
consider others before ones self.
In the everyday life it Is well not only
! for the servants. but for the family itself,
to observe so much of form in the table
service as shall make 1t q matter Of Gus
/ tom, and thus save much embarrassment
that may arise from ignorance when cere.
| mony ia attempted. "Good enough for
home folks" is bad motto for the din
ing room. No company can be better
than father, mother and children, and no
effort too great to have the regular meals
well served, the conservation cheerful
snd agreeable, and ell participants ex-
hioiting that true courtesy which alone
emsnaies from love and refinement at
home.
