Mrs. Dodge is popular young woman

of the utmost importance to all rail-
road men. On account Of other en-
gagements, Judge Waddill had to

day. when it will be completed. The
employees Of the railroads have been
struggling for years to get repealed

statute; that is. when one VI them
is injured b. the negligence Of his
co-employe he cannot recover from

EATING IN THE OLD DAYS
Then Guests at Banquets Used Their
Own Knives and
Forks.

Even at so late a period as the res
toration, in 1860, the London Chronicle
says, 1T was the custom for guests to
take their own knives and forks to an
English banquet. Pepys records that
he did this when he went to the lord
mayors feast in the Guildhall. In the
previous reign the lord chamberlain
had found it necessary to issue regu-
lations for the benefit of officers in
vited to dine at the royal table. They
were required to wear clean boots,
not to drink more than one goblet to
every two dishes, not to throw the
bones under the table nor to lick
their fingers.
The Stuarts undoubtedly did much
to refine English table manners, for it
was one of the points admired in
Mary Queen of Scots that the customs
she introduced from France made her
court and royal banquets more ex-
quisite and genteel than those of her
rival, Queen Elizabeth. AS forks came
into use the old-time importance Of
the table napkin began to wane.' From
being a necessity it became luxury,
on the fastidious use of which ETH
quette has at various times placed
strange values.
Under the third empire in France
st. Beuve brought disgrace upon him
self because at breakfast at the
Tuileries he carelessly opened his
napkin and placed it over his two
knaeS To this ha addod tho crip,o Of
cutting his egg in two at the middle.
Court etiquette prescribed that the
half folded napkin should lie on the
LETT knee and the top of the egg was
to be merely broken with the edge of
the spoon and drained with the tip of
the spoon.
For his failings in these respects ST.
Beuve's name was struck off the i'm
perial visiting list
