You doubtless offended the duke by
snickering ut him when he filled his cof-
fec cup full of mustache, coming out
only to shake himself like big, damp
dog, or big, damp fool, us the case
may be. American girls who cannot be
dignified during the cuttings up of a
duke are not suitable society for high

You should not fold your napkin while
visiting n friend and at the close of IL
meal unless you remain longer than one
meal and recognize the napkin on the
second round. Then You may safely do

attention while doing it. A good plan

have got to put up with these things,
Lulu, if we are going To lead the pace
that kills.
Name, Centralia, Ills. Yes, you may
take up the bone of smaller game in your
fingers at table, but here in the east they
are now drawing the line ut 4-year old
steers. If you are fond of the marrow,
and the thigh bone of Holstein COW is
given you, remove the marrow with a
cheese scoop or get the butler to white
