the table with the padding; then careful
ly and smoothly lay the cloth, and in the
center pace a square or round of plain
or embroidered linen on which stand a
vase of flowers or ferns or whatever is
provided for this place. A neat repast is
always a restful and desirable thing At
the foot of tho table place the carving
cloth with carver rests at the right and
left, a large gravy spoon or tablespoon at
the right. If water bottle is used place
tray with napkin at the left-hand cor
ner at the foot, of the table. At the right

another set at the right-hand corner at

She then replaces the fruit dish in the
center of the table and goes out for the
cereal, which has been dished and placed
in the pantry. This she places at the
foot of the table, and on tray on the
side table puts bowl of sugar, pitcher
of hot and one of cold milk. She then
removes the fruit plates, lifting each one
with her left hand and putting in the va
cant place plate for the holding of the
cereal bowl. Then she places the bowls
at the foot of the table. AS the cereal is
helped she puts the bowl on the tray,
carrying it to the left of each person, and
offers at the same time, the same tray,
the sugar and milk or cream. She then
removes the finger bowls, sees that the
plates are heated for the omelet and
arranges the things for the coffee, after
which she lifts the cereal dish, takes it
to the pantry, and then brings in the
omelet.

glasses and then quietly removes the soil
led dishes from the side table to the pam
try, keeping constant watch over the
table and passing mullins or coffee as
needed
The head of the table is nearest the
pantry door and the seat of the lady of
the house; the foot is at the opposite end.
| Plates may be placed and removed from
the right side IL more convenient but all
serving and passing must be from the left
Il is easier in training a new waitress to
insist upon her always going to the left
for everything; then no mistakes can be
made.

lowed every morning in the week, and at
the end Of the seventh day your waitress
will understand thoroughly the best meth

The waitress should then 20 to the pan
try, get out the bouillon cups and the
necessary dishes for the fish, meat, etc.
The plates used for the fish course should
not be so large as luncheon plates nor so
small as supper plates. A good-sized
breakfast plate is the proper size to use
for luncheon

She should then arrange the salad bowl

ard another for the cheese, a glass dish
for the whipped cream, fancy plate for
the lady fingers, the after-dinner coffee
cups, the sugar and cream. After these
have been grouped on the side table she
washes the lettuce, dries it thoroughly,
places 1T in a salad bowl and stands it in
a cool place. She then dishes the waters
and bread sticks, also the cheese, and puts
item on the side table. The finger bowls
are then placed on fancy mats in the CEN
ter of the dessert plates, with spoons al

that everything is on the side table, as
and the salad plates. The fish and chof

place the dessertspoon for the cereal, and
a teaspoon for the coffee. On the left,

the fork; one is usually sufficient for
breakfast.
The cups and saucers should be arrang-
ed at the head of the table, also a mat
or tray for holding the coffee pot. II

Three things are 10 be considered The
pride Of the states that have fallen behind
IN the race, the just claims Of those that
have gained, and, lastly. the seating ca

important this year, as il did a decade ago.
Undoubtedly the leaders of the public
will undertake to keep the number Of rep

will agree, first, how many members there
shall be, than how many each state shall
have, and finally the smallest number Of
people that MAJ elect a representative.
The minimum number under the last
apportionment is I73,9oI. The general
idea is that 2oo, 900 will be the figure this
year Using that, 1t would give 373 mem
bers, an increase of 10, this increase tc
be divided among the States showing the
largest fractions left over after giving
each State representation on the 100000
basis.
That rule would give Pennsylvania 81

Der Under that rule the following States
will gain one each Arkansas, Colorado,
Connecticut Florida, Louisiana, Massa
