TABLE MANNERS FOR CHILDREN.
Rules That the Lutte Ones should Be

Rules That the Little Ones should BE
Taught.
One OF the first things to teach little
child who has arrived at the dignity OF
a seat at the table, and a plate and
spoon, Is that he or she must not take
upon the plate more than can be eaten.
Most children will demand a little OF
everything on the table. When
child gets its plate filed It's hrst In
pulse is TO "muss." And when IL De-
gins to do that IL is time to
nut IL down from the table. 1t is not
wise policy TO have upon the table
any article that tire children may not
eat But If you are so unWlse as 10
precipitate a family row by so doing,
be firm In refusing TO let the children
indulge; wise parents, however, spare
themselves and their chileren all un-
necessary trouble. II a child insists
that il will eat certain things and you
put them on its plate, see that il does
eat them. Not at the table, but put
the plate away, just as 1t is left at
the table, and when the child wants
'piece" give IL the food that Is left at
breakfast. In all probability 1t VII re-
fuse it, but do not give it anything be-
fore the next meal II it does not clear
the plate. II you make the mistake oil
filling the child's plate too full OF any
thing of which you know It is not par
ticularly fond, then you sho uld not force
il TO eat But II the fault is that OF the
child, you will find that you will not
