SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR
THE SCHOOL GIRL

\ T would seem If among girls of refinement
there ought not to be any need of calling atten-
4 tion to the subject of table manners and yet one
y often sees girls who supposed to be well
bred doing such astonishingly bad hammered
things at the table that is forced believe that
constant reminders are necessary.
Surely all girls know that they should not talk
when they have food in their MOUTHS but some of
them forget the simple fact and make themselves
most unattractive by open-mouthed display of
partly masticated food, inevitably by the per-
whom they talking. AS if this were not
bad enough in ITSELF there is the further objection
that it is impossible to articulate clearly when the
mouth contains food, and mumbling is most repre-
hensibe.
You should be extremely dainty about the amount
of food you put into your mouth, taking very little
at a time and swallowing it before you follow it
with something else 1t is shocking to put several
things into your mouth at once, as If you were a
barbarian who knew nothing whatever of the GUS
toms of civilization. If you take your food with
delcacy you dispose of it with and speed, and
you commit the offence of mastcating with
your mouth open talking with it full

every spare moment can well be spent in acquainting
ones self with these three great arts-for without

thing is to permit the glasses to be filed and then
to leave them untouched The servants Of course
are quick to perceive that you do drink the wine
and SO pass you by when they go the rounds again.
1t is not good form to spread your napkin out
your lap, as If you were infant likely drop half
OF what you eating but instead you should leave
it folded the long way And when you have occasion
to raise to your lips do with your right hand only
and using merely the end of the napkin. On no ac-
count put even the tip of your napkin in the finger
boWl, as a girl was seen to do recently when she
wanted to mOisten her lips At the end of dinner,
when the finger bowl is used, the lips may mostened
by touching them lightly with the tips of the first and
second fingers of the right hand which have been deli
cately dipped in water.
TO appear perfectly at under all circumstances
is an art which all girls should strive acquire and
nowhere is this accomplishment admirable than
when dining out among strangers, where by being at
ease yourself you help others to attain that agreeable
condition. Dinner whether at home abroad is dis
tnctly the festive meal of the day, occurring at
hour when people naturally expect relaxation and
Joyment. And you should make your contribution to
the general entertainment by looking and by acting
your preiest the latter embracing your conduct and
your conversation.
If you are attending somewhat, formal dinner
remember that the conversation is never general
these occasions, and that you expected to conne
your attentions to the two persons between whom
you are seated.

Old Fashioned Sashes and ScarfS.

THE long, deep frnged sashes and beautiful silk
scarfs of an earlier generation have come into
their own again, and girls whose mothers or
grahdmothers have these treasures and bring them out
for use are in luck for none of the things
compare with the old in beauty of color and often this
is true OF the texture well. One of the delightful
things about the present fashion in sashes is that the
Old ones can be modishly used without cutting into
the and that is real comfort to the feminine heart
And whether 1t be very long very short is can be
used to advantage If is short for grdle
and the wider 1t is the better while the Empire idea
remains but the real beauties the long ones
which wind about the waist and knOtted at the side
or at the back fall in graceful flowing ends. If girl
is tall and slender she will get the most becoming eff
feet by tying the sash at the side of the 'front.' but if
she short the front lines of her figure should not be
broken and the SASH therefore should fasten at the
back To keep these sashes scarfs broa6 about the
waist they should be caught a band of stifening,
but this will not do them any harm, as just few
stitches far apart will suffice.

COUGH REMEDY
A MEDICINE OF REAL WORTH
AND MERIT.
1t Not Only Cures Colds and Grip,
But Prevents Them From Re-
sulting in Pneumonia.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is intended
especially for acute throat and lung diseases,
of which colds, Group and whooping cough
are the most common. Those who have
used it for years and are in position 90
know its real value, assert that Il is with.
out an equal for the treatment of these dis
eases. Ii not only cures colds and grip, but
counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
II has come into almost universal use as a
preventiyeand cure for Group, and has never
been known to fail.
In cases Of whooping cough it keeps the
cough loose, expectoration easy and renders
the paroxysms of coughing less frequent and
less severe, depriving that disease Of all dan.
gerous consequences.
1t is pleasant to take, which is of much
importance when the medicine must be given
to small children.
IL contains no opium or other harmful
substance, and may be given as confidently
to a baby as to an adult.
1t is an ideal remedy both for adults and
children, and we think the most perfect and
most efectual yet produced in any country.
