mails destitute of grinders bolt their food q.
1t is not fitting that human beings should
eat as cats and dogs do, since they have
such ''mill' ready for use which dogs
have not. The lips are so constructed
that the noise of grinding, which is in
tolerable to ears polite, may be effectu-
ally disguised.
This is n point that cannot be too ur-
gently insisted upon. Food, whether
liquid or solid, must be conveyed into
the mouth, and from the mouth down
ward silently. The position at the table
should be uncOnstrained and easy, the
person sitting erect or slightly bent for
ward when eating, so that the mouth
may be directly over the plate; arms
should be held 1t the side, not extended
ut right angles to the body. The elbows
should be kept off the table Leaning
back i'll one's chair is a grieyous violation
Of table etiquette. The mouth and
fingers must be kept, during the
process of eating, absolutely clean.
The use of the fork TO the excln-
sion of the knife in carrying food to the
mouth is insisted on Leage-taking is
permissible only by permission of the hos
tess. Table talks should be light, agree
able, general, each person present con-
tributlng his or her quota TO the general
fund, and children observing the excel
lent rule of being 'fseen and not
heard unless they are in such majority
that the conversation is keyed to their
level. Parents who will be at the pains
to set their children such examples as
they wish to see followed, and will hold
themselves to a high standard of table
etiquette, VIII have no difficulty in attain
ing the results they desire.
