FARMERS MANNERS
Reasons Why He Should Study and
Adopt Their Practice in His
Daily Life.

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 king"
To be polite at table does not neces-
sariiy mean that one must be con-
versant with all the fads regarding
the proper service and timely use OF
many articles of tableware. More i'm
portant is the proper method of dis
posing of the food, but often the fads
are more readily INDUCED in than
true table manners. Table manners
are based upon common sense and
true politeness. and no one need be
emparassed TO copy the well-bred
customs of others Well-bred people
are always observant Of little proprie-
ties and practice their table man
ners ct home the same as they do at a
dinner party.
Food should be eaten in a noiseless
manner; carry the food to the mouth
rs the hand, never accommodating the
Eslth TO the hand. Soup should be
Sken in noiseless manner from the
slde Of the spoon. Always avoid scrap
ing the dish. Never heip yourself to
butter with your own knife, and never
carry food TO your mouth with a knife;
the knife should be used for cutting
and spreading alone. The spoon
should be removed from the cup be-
fese drinking ones coffee and placed
in - saucer, but after one has nm
ished the spoon should be placed In
she cup. All feOd must be eaten with
The fork and spoon; many dsinties
mar 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
kerchief should never be used un-
necessarily
