20 cut meat AMI ether foods as require
cutting
When the knife is laid by IL should
not be placed on the table nor with
the tip of the blade resting on the

should be laid on the plate.
Children should hold the fork in
the right hand and not in the French

AN AFTERNOON RECEPTION
Some Suggestions as to the Graceful
Poise That Should Be Main

The large afternoon functions that
are fashionable at present require that
a guest shall stand most OF the time.
and an awkward woman is never more
at loss than when standing. Prac-
tice at home 70 prepare yourself for
this emergency. Stand with your back
20 the wall, touching Il with your
heels. Now force the knees back
against the wall. bringing as much of
II In contact as possible. Let the
shoulders be pressed against IL. This
brings the chest up and gives erect
ness 20 the whole body But this
would be stiff position IL you were
conversing over feacups. Keep the
heels in position, hold the chest up
and body erect. while YOU sway slight
ly forward from the wall. shifting the
weight from the heels 20 the balls OF
the feet You n6w find yourself in
graceful and comfortable standing po-
sitiOn. The arms should swing easily
at the sides. Stand for FIVE minutes
until the position becomes natural to
you. When standing during a con
Tersation IL would be awkward 20 keep
the hands dangling let them fall
clasped. before you. or hold some ar
ticle. But maintain the position which
your practice teaches you. Avoid the
mannish habit Of folding the arms and
the provincial habit Of resting the
hands on the hips
In sitting avoid nervous tension.
Relax. II YOU obey this law your
position is pretty sure TO be graceful
The hands may rest i'm the lap. on the
arms Of the chair. one of them may
be on Jne back OF the chair. in any
case. they must NOT clasp anything
tightly as II YOU were trying 10 hold
yourself firmly in the chair
Sit well back in the chair. thus
avoiding the bad habit Of sitting on
the spine. You can lean back far
enough for grace 81 YOU are chatting:

When sewing or writing you should be
upright with high chest as much as
