The Farmers Table Manners.

One Of the neglected arts in the farm
home is politeness at the table. Eat at
your own table as you would dine at
the table of the king
To be polite at table does not neces-
sarily mean that one must be CONVEX
SAINT with all the fads regarding the
proper service and timely use OF many
articles of tableware More important
is the proper method of disposing of
the food, but often the fads are more
readily INDUCED in than true table man.
ners. Table manners are based upon
common sense and true politeness, and
no one need be embarrassed to copy
the well-bred customs Of others. Well
bred people are always observant or
little proprieties and practice their table
manners at home the same as they do
at a dinner party
Food should be eaten in a noiseless
manner; carry the food to the mouth
by the hand, never accommodating the
mouth to the hand. Soup should be
taken in a noiseless manner from the
side of the spoon. Always avoid scrap
ing the dish. Never help yourself to
butter with your own knife and never
carry food to your mouth with knife;
the knife should be used for cutting
and spreading alone. The spoon should
be removed from the cup before drink
ing ones coffee and placed in the sau-
Ger, but after one has finished the spoon
should be placed in the cup. All food
must be eaten with the fork and spoon;
many dainties may be eaten with the
fingers.
An overloaded plate is bad form and
is unappetizing Bread should not be
crumbled on the table. Elbows should
not be placed upon the table and un-
pleasant topics of conversation should
not be introduced. Napkins should be
used only for the lips, and the hand
