A HELPFUL CORNER.
Home Culture.


Good Housekeeping tells us that
nothing betrays good breeding or the
lack of it than the dining room SER
vice. What is requisite is neatness,
order, tastefulness and repose. The
room, if it be only corner of the
kitchen, should be immaculate. A
spotless cloth, unrumpled and show
ing the ironing folds is reinforced by
clean napkins. On it dishes are ar
ranged not as if left by hurricane,
but with mathematical precision. The
table is one place where the hand of
martinez should be visible.
In this country there are plenty of
refined, intelligent families where do
mestics are not employed. wife
and mother who lis at the same time
maid of all work, will sometimes find
it difficult to be nice about table eti-
-quette. But she would better neglect
BY an intelligent mother children
will be early taught to gracefully
handle knife, fork and spoon, to slow
ly mastieate food, after cutting it in
to small mouthfuls, to noiselessly sip
soup and other liquids, to sit near the
table without bending over the plate
to wait until their elders are helped,
and never to scramble or reach for
things not near at hand. And many
an adult who ought to know better
has forgotten or never learned these
important rules.
Coming to their meals when weary,
parents are often careless about table
manners. Haste is one of the great
est foes of grace as well as of health.
We know, yet do not heed, the cause
for dyspepsia. When the keen atmos-
phere is alive with rush and business,
it is difficult to adjust life to serenity
and to preserve ease. Yet this is
frame of mind and body worth striv-
ing for.
Let us rise betimes and take leisure
for the matutinal coffee and toast.
While it is good form to enjoy
viands, it is anything but that to eat
ravenously as if starving, to make a
noise when chewing, and keep the
eyes glued to the plate. Refinement
will seek to make eating a social func-
ton and to enhance the appetite
without gorging. At table no deep
themes should occupy the mind, no
discussions take place. Here may be
brought anecdotes, while jest and re-
partee sparkle about the board.
Even where the house mistress her.
self prepares the meal, she can man.
age to have extra dishes upon a table
in her rear, so that there may be lit
tie leaving her place. Perhaps the
daughters take turns in waiting upon
the others. That is discipline that
may serve them we'll in later days.
They learn the appointments proper
for meals and how they are to be ar
ranged. In the morning there need
be little formality, but just as much
order, neatness and system as upon
other occasions.
Not to begin to eat until others are
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-08-11

ton of eating passes among sensible
people. Such, without sesuous or sy-
baritish luxury, finger over food long
enough to fully enjoy it's flavor. They
are not ashamed to have that good,
healthy hunger that betokens rich
nutrition.
At an early age children should
eat at the family table. There they
not only learn to have good manners,
but to share in the life going on
around them, and to have elevated as
socations. Awkward habits are hard
to overcome, as some eminent persons
have found. 1t is related of one
of Americas most famous ora
tors, that when he left home for
boarding school, at the age Of four
teen, he knew no more how to handle
knife and fork, to use his fathers eX-
preston, than a four-footed animal
Only by initiating his manners of
holding those implements in the fists,
and appeals to his pride, did his per-
ception persuade him to become a fit
associate for other boys.
To come to the dining room with
unlaved face and hands, dishevelled
hair and untidy clothing is solecism
too often witnessed. Rushing from
the tennis court to the house, [ have
seen a tumbled lot of the heirs of
''first families" without waiting for
tidying. They appeared at dinner
reeking with perspiration and with
finger nails showing rich deposits of
soil. Yet they received no rebuke
from their fond friends.
And now for another branch of do
mesticity kitchen. "There can
be no good manners in or about the
kitchen" contemporary remarks a
voice at my elbow. ''The sooner you
abandon that chimerical notion the
better.
A man can be a hero even to his
valet and a woman retain her dignity
even with Bridget, Gretchen or Dinah.
And service will be far better for it,
too. From the first let the maid I'M
derstand that she will be held as
strictly to her duties as the mistress
will hold herself to her own, and that
she has certain rights and immunities
that will be respected. Just as strict
ly too, should children be restrained
from gossiping with help, or from an
noying or teasing them. If mothers
only knew what often goes on in
the neither regions of the home they
would be aghast. The higher the
wage given, the better service is eX-
pected. But even twenty-five dollars
per month may not secure all the vir
tues. Watch narrowly that no per-
verted seeds are sOWn in this domain |
AS carefully, also, see that each do
nestle is treated with respect by ev
cry member of the family.
Once while l was a guest at one of
the most elegant of New England's |
houses, the master of the household
was driven home at sunset by his |
coachman. AS General - stepped |

Other things to be learned are never
to take hold of a cup or glass with
the hand over the top, or to pass
cup for the second filling with the
spoon within. Things to be avoided
are leaning on the table, drumming
on it with the fingers, lounging in the
chair, re-arranging the dishes, toying
with any part of the service, creasing
and crumbling food on that or the
plate. Equally to be deprecated are
fretful fault-fnding with the viands
or cookery, and eating without any
regard to quality or quantity of food.
In the latter case nature will, in the
end, revenge herself.
To retain good digestion as well as
! good table manners, one must be
pleasant, cheerful and fully conscious
of the taste of food. A celebrated
jurist never knew what was set be-
fore him, and younger members of
commit all sorts of solecisms. Once
they placed in front of his plate
we'll filled butter dish. He began to
eat, meanwhile talking brilliantly,
and never ceased helping himself to
the butter until all was consumed.
The best way to eat boiled eggs is
matter of dispute. Our transatlantic
cousins choose to have them set in in
dividual cups, whence the upper ends
cut off, the contents are scooped with
a spoon. 1t is less Objectionable
method than to take out the contents
in a glass at the table.
A favorite English method of scrv-
ing bread is to slice it on a board at
slices can be cut thick or thin, accord
ing to individual taste. At dinner ii
| should be cut thicker than for other
meals. To crumble it or spread the
entire slice is bad FORM Bread and
butter plates at dinner are a conve
nience, also bone plates. Forks should
be at the left hand in the order in
which they are to be used, and spoons
at the right, all with the concave side
uppermost. At the close of the course
they should be ranged side by side on
the plate.
Coarse salads should be torn apart
with the fork, not cut. Forks Or
scopes go with olives and cheese,
| tongs with bonbons and scissors with
clusters of grapes. Yet often we'll
bred persons use the fingers in all
these cases. In the same way the
bones of chickens and birds are often
picked. Anything to be rejected from
the mouth should be done unobtru-
sively and by the help of the napkin.
According to modern fashion, ice
cream and cold buildings are eaten
with a fork. The vast number of ber-
ry scoops, pie knives, orange spoons
and other devices for the accumula-
| ton of silver, may be reduced to the
simpler store Of our grandmothers
without great loss to refinement. A
| person neat in habits will make so
| little debris that even the crumb
scoop and tray will hardly have to be

ing and deserved recognition. That
the generals domestics remain with
him during their entire lives and idol
ize both master and mistress, who are
ployers, need hardly be stated.
Often and again an indulgent mis-
tress is repaid by poor service, imper-
Thence, or even worse. Yet it is new
er to be forgotten that the finer the
development the higher should be it's
expression.
Not to be thought of on the part of
employers, is gossiping with domes-
tics or allowing them to retail stories
Of other employers. They should
have comfortable rooms, kept clean
by themselves, and certain defined
hours of isolation and relaxation. The
root of much dissa tisfaction is the
lack of these things. A we'll furnish
ed, warmed and lighted room, and
certain hours which maid can call
her own, is not too much to require.
neither is pleasant manner in adj
dressing domestic, and genuine
interest in her happiness and health.
On the other hand, undue familiar
ity is to be avoided. To be kind to
others does not mean taking them for
ones bosom friends. These can only
be found among persons OF similar
development. Not long ago, in house
cleaning time, lady found it conve-
nient to eat lunch in her tidy kitchen.
Observing the cook in silent laughter
she asked the cause. cts SO strange
you should be eating where the likes
of me eats!" was the reply. After
ward the mistress heard her saying
to visitor that the employer was not
so much of lady as she thongnt, be-
cause "she ate in me kitchen" 1t
takes intelligence to appreciate supe--
ority and to understand that a lady
remains such in kitchen or paror.

servitude is extremely silly. 1t is only
a badge of neatness, a sign that she
attends to her duty. 1t would be just
as foolish for railway officials or po-
licemen to object to their uniforms
as for a nurse or hOusemaid to refuse
to wear her neat and becoming cos
tune. Vanity and false pride are. al
ways eager to seek occasions for TAX
ing offence, but they index anything
save knowledge of true propriety
md good breeding.
