A Yezng Man should Never DO ~ In the
Presence OF His Sweetheart.

PRESENCE OF Ills sweetheart.
A young lady said that she hated
oranges because one had come between
her and her lover. lie had called on
her one evening, and, after sitting
awhile, had produced couple of bright
Florida oranges out Of his pocket and
suggested that each eat one. She now
says that she can not drive out Of her

so across the grain, so that "a spoon can

gentleman who has lived for years
in the American countries in which the
orange grows, is waging war against
the slovenly manner of cutting the
orange up and serving II on the table.
In such case he recommends that "A
very sharp knife. one as keen as a
razor, be used, and the fruit cut into
slices enthusiastically thin. and built,
layer about, with pulverized sugar
Since the spoon has been RELOCATED out
of modern dinner civilization almost a
fork is used 10 eat IL with. In southern
Europe the peasants always eat fruit
in Its natural shape, and never think
Of treating II 20 doses of sugar, salt. or
other seasoning. Around Naples and
in Malaga the people bite hole in the
orange. suck out the juice and throw
the orange away South American
people often do the same, but Of

quantity of juice that flows down falls

from all untidiness.
