ABOUT TABLE ETIQUETTE.
Very Good People Are Careless of
Ceremony Sometimes But 1t
is Regrettable

First of all, learn to sit erect at the
table. Do not lounge in your chair nor
lean forward to catch mouthfuls; moth
ing looks worse than to see a person
doing this.
Aman naturally standsuntil the wom-
en- at the table are all seated, and if a
woman should come to the table after
everyone is seated, the men should rise
and remain standing until she is seated.
This, of course, is more likely to hap
pen in cafe or hotel dining-room than
in the home life, but even at home this
principle must be carried out. 1t is d
point that every man should remem-
ber, and even the children should be
taught to practice it on all occasions.
Talking of this reminds me of what
saw recently in ballroom An elderly
woman of distinction was walking with
her escort around the room AS she
passed a man of her acquaintance she
bowed very graciously, and the man,
instead of rising, merely inclined his
head. What lack of good breeding
was shown in that one simple act of his.
But, to return to the etiquette of the
table, on entering the dining-room for
any meal precedence is given to the
lady of the house, and it is a graceful
courtesy for her husband or son to place
her chair for her. At small, informal
dinners or luncheons the hostess leads
the way, inviting her guests to follow
At cafe or hotel dining-room the head
waiter shows the way to the table. The
chaperone and women enter the room
first, followed by the men.
At large dinners the men and women
enter the dining-room arm-in-arm.
When seated the women remove their
gloves and put them in their laps, un-
fold the napkin once and lay it across
their knees.

On Memorial
Day
By SIDNEY DAYRE

How ii began was never fully under
stood. but it was we'll known that Rob
Wells and Will Barnes were not good
friends as formerly. There had been
some trouble in the arithmetic class.
Rob believed that viii had overlooked
some OF his figuring and in the advan-
tage gained by this was able to stand
better than he otherwise would have
done. This was mistake, but Will was
too proud to say SO. The breach once
made kept widening. until one boy was
ready to believe almost anything of the
other.
The two lived on the outskirts of a
lively town, but their homes differed
widely Rob's was set in the middle of
a yard adorned with grass and trees. At
one side was small garden which was
Rob's especial pride. He was fond of
flowers, and delisntedly spent in the
care of them many hours which other
boys would have given to play. Snow
balls, lilacs and early roses skirted his
garden on one side, Towering vines
climbed upon the house, and in the neat
ly kept beds blooming plants which had
through the winter been tenderly petted
in the house were planted as early as the
weather would permit. His mother fos-
all understood and smiled over his fan

and divide into eight sections by lines
drawn across and across. and then curve

Obtain some silver tinsel and stretch
across the middle from point to point,
and then, commencing at the edge, wind
the tinsel round and round, until the
surface is covered and the center is
reached. 1t will be found necessary to
tack the tinsel here and there to keep
it in the required curved position. To
keep the whole in position, some sup
port must be placed behind the screen.
For this good plan would be to take a
length of thick, strong wire. bend it to
form an angle, the apex of which should
be sewn in the center of the back, the
two ends being attached to two of the
points of the web. and continuing to

Fred's division commander to the head
of corps and his brigade commander
to the head OF the fine division, in
which until now the wild western
ers had been numbered as the
First brigade. Now they became
the Third, and were both aston
ished and disgusted to find that
their numerical destination de-
pended not, as they were inclined to
say, on their soldierly superiority, but
upon the relative rank of the brigade
commander. 1t CALLED them, to tell the
truth, to find that the promotion to
division rank Of the West Point SOL
dier who had organized, drilled and
taught them from the start, involved
a corresponding setback for them
selves. Some Badgers took the matter
so much to heart as to declare that
the general should have declined pro-
motion-let somebody else step up to
the command of the division rather
than see his old comrades moved from
the right to the left of the line, from
front to rear of the column. In vain
were they assured that it really made
no earthly difference, that the brigade
would take turns at the head Of the
column on the march, and, as for the
line Of battle, they would get just as
much fighting on the left as on the
right.

CHAPTER III.-CoNT1NuED.

Lincoln's rugged features had al.

anxiety. The lines were digging far
ther in about the sombre eyes and the
broad humorous mouth by the time the
tall, gaunt president, in the abnormally
took to driving out to Kalorama in the
August evenings, Mr.. Secretary Seward
dwarfing at his side-to take the air
and look at the one western brigade
of all the commands then being mold
ed by Gen. Mcclellan into what was
to become the grand army of the Po-
tomac. While at first Massachusetts,
New York and Pennsylvania had been
represented in the huge command as
signed to Fred Bentons general, with
one exception all eastern regiments
were transferred to other divisions as
more Badgers arrived, and finally,
when the first frosts Of October had
turned the Virginia shores to fire and,
strongly entrenched, the union army
covered the long front from Alexan-
dria to beyond the Chain Bridge, it
was brigade of four strong, stalwart
regiments, three from Wisconsin and
one from Indiana, not an eastern or
middle state represented in their ar
ray, that this compact command was
designated, of all others, to encamp
upon the beautiful Arlington estate,
and the general and his staff were di-
rected to occupy as headquarters the
fine old mansion, long the seat of a
famous family. The Badger brigadiel
moved in and took possession of the
homestead of his old-time friend and
associate in the corps of engineers,
when as junior officers they were build
ing Fort Monroe, and 1000 men of the
west pitched their white tents on the

rama, ard. after he had ch.tted with

through the iegimeptal camps to re-

boys" to wave his hat and smile at
them. and sometimes, when they
crowded about him. TO stop and shake
hands with the nearmost, and once or
twice to tell some whimsical story
that would set his hearers shouting

But if the rugged features beamed
with kindliness and sympathy early in
the December days and had ever 8
smile in return for the greeting of the
shouting boys in blue, senior officers
who best knew him became aware Of
a growing anxiety and impatience on
his part ere Christmas came in, and
the crowded camps were jubilant with
feasting and good cheer The beloved
little commanding general had been
taken ill with fever and confined to
his bed. The president to whom he
owed his appointment had as yet no
information as to that generals plans,
and, strange as it may seem, the two
or three men in his, McClellan's. con-
fidence were strangers at the white
house and the departments. When,

the general would be able to resume

had to turn to other sources, and

was the first he sought. He was for

locality, for he passed by on tip-toe,
keeping his cruel fingers away from the
lovely bloom.
Will Barnes was among others who
fingered wistfully, when he was sure of
being unobserved, near Robs gay little
plat. His love for flowers was equal to
that of Rob, but all opportunity for graf
flying it seemed shut out of his life. He
lived in one of a row of small houses,
straight, bare and unhomelike. He had
tried to raise grass in the strip of ground
before the door and had planted seed
in the morsel Of a back yard. He had
brought wild vine from the woods and
tried to train it against the front of the
house. But back and front yards were
undivided from the others, and the dain-
ty shoots for which he eagerly watched
were soon trampled down by careless
footsteps, while the vine one day wilted,
and on examination was found broken
off near the root.
The schoolboys entered heart and
soul into the celebration of Memorial
day. Proud was he who had a grand
father who had borne his part in the ma
tional struggle-neXt to him those who
could boast of uncles and cousins to a
remote degree Those who could ring in
no ties of blood Joined in spirit of gen.
eral patriotism.
Il declare, Rob" said one of his
friends on the day before. your flowers
look as if they knew what they were be-
ing raised for"
Dent they?" said Rob, eagerly, as
the two stood and gazed at the luxuriant
bloom. Don't they look just as if they
wanted to say, We're proud to do our
part in honoring heroes. We're ready
to die in good cause, just as they
did?'"
Yes, yes,' said his friend, with q
laugh. I'm not sure but can more than
half hear them say it. You could almost
trust them to make the memorial
speech"
The little garden was bounded on one
side by cross street, thus allowing
standardization of observation to those
who passed that way. AS the boys talked
Will Barnes was diagonally crossing the
main street toward the corner with q
view Of feasting his eyes as he turned in
that direction. But catching sight of the
boys he quickly changed his course and
kept on with an averted face.
There's jealousy for you" said Rob's
companion. He can't bear to see you
enjoying what he can't have himself"
What q scowl!"
It was not, however, a scowl, but
look of keen pain which had overspread
the boys face at thought of being not
only shut out from the enjoyment OF
such possession, but from the gratifica-
ton of being counted among those who
could bring loveliness to honor the rest
Ing p,r.ce Of heroes AS he hurried on I
now thought struck him.
