Did you know that Queen Elizabeth ate

that she loved show and style, that she
was so fond of fine clothes tina, when she
died she left three thousand dresses and

imagine that such n great lady could he

But she did, and SO did Shakespeare, and
Chaucer, and William the Conqueror. and

Well, because she had never secn or

were something new and, besides, there
was a prejudice against this invention
Just from Italy. But you must not think
because there were no forks that the old
fashioned dinner made no ~pretensions Ia

The guests had knives n they had
fingers and with these two implements
they managed nicely. From their old
books of etiquette we learn how they did

publicly washed before beginning the
meal, even II this had just been done pri-
ya,ely. il must be repeated at the table,
that no one might feel uneasy in eating
after his neighbours fingers had been in

prepared as far as possible before IL was
brought ON the table. IL in a stew, as was
usually the case, IL was i'm bits; IL roasted,

large plates with a knife.
AS 20 the way Of helping himself, each
guest must choose and keep a particular
part OF the dish for his own. He mus
