American Baronet.

The library room of the Maine His
torical society at Portland has another
and an important addition. 1t is a
large and handsome portrait of Sir
William Phips, one of Names notable
sons. 1t is the gift of Henry Deering,
citizen who has happy habit
of doing many things for Portland. In
December. 1907, he gave to this soci-
ETY. the portrait OF Sir William Pep
perell that hangs In the same room.
The Phips portrait is the work of Miss
Elizabeth p. Patterson of Wis
casset, the corresponding secretary of
the society. The original from which
this portrait was painted is now
owned by Prof. William p. Blake of
New Haven, and of Tucson, Ariz. Sir
William Phips was knighted and Sir
William Pepperell was created a
baronet, of whom it is said, that they
were the only native Americans who
had that honor and who continued
their residence in this country. They
were both born in Maine. There were
probably others in other states.-Lew-

UNIQUE SCHOOL IN BOSTON
Institution Of Modern Athens Fits
Girls for Duties DevoIving on
Them In Years to Come.

A school of matrimony has lately
been established In Boston. For the
Athens of America this Is indeed
quite an innovation. Some good. easy
going people have deluded themselves
into thinking that matrimony be-
longed to no school, and It needed no
school. AS to this let Reno answer!
In this Boston school group OF
girls. including the younger members
of some OF the best and oldest of Bos-
ton families, are being trained FIVE
days each week in the useful and
household arts. The idea In brief, is
to furnish a highly practical equip
ment and to enable the girl students
to become ideal as wives. mothers
and home makers. The course In
cludes instruction by some of the
best Boston educators In literature,
ethics. child study, household arts,
house building. textiles and sewing,
hand work and design. music In the
home, literature for children. home
economics, chemistry, biology. social
economics, hygiene, dental hygiene,
home nursing and the care of delin-
quent children. Such school Is far
more in keeping with the prevailing
spirit of modernity than is the recent
crusade on the part Of the mayor of
indianapolis against "spooning" in the
nickelodeons. which II successful.
would tend toward the discourage
ment OF matrimony even more than

quent and unexpected intervals. so
as to cover with confusion young per-
sons engaged In "spooning" and to
hold them up to ridicule and scorn,
Brooklyn park commissioner once
had somewhat similar idea as to
turning on the electric lights In dark
places In Prospect park and In other
parks.

The fork is so commonly misused at
the table that II Is really important
that children be taught as soon as old
enough to use fork, how to hold II.
When using il with a knife as in
cutting meat, hold the handle of the
fork in the hollow of the left hand
with the index finger and thumb on
the handle. When used in the right
hand, have the prongs upward, hold
ing the handle between the thumb and
finger
Do not use a piece of meat on the
fork as a conveyance for potato or
other vegetables.
Do not grasp the knife down on the
blade-hold it by the handle. This
applies also to the fork.
Do not play with any of the silver
on the table; let the hands lie quietly
In the lap.
Do not bend over the plate when
eating
When eating soup never tip the
plate to get the last drop. Eat from
the side of the spoon without noise.
Never leave a spoon in the cup, nor
pour tea or coffee into a saucer.
Do not eat too rapidly or take large
mouthfuls.
Never put fruit parings, potato
skins or any waste on the table cloth
When once used, never place knife
or fork on the cloth, rest them on the
side of the plate.
1t is now considered good form to
take the last piece from the plate, as
there is supposed to be more.
